He Hurricane Gabrielle He is already on the way to Spain. Aemet warned that this could happen, and there is no more doubt. Perhaps his arrival takes place on Sunday, although he will no longer be a hurricane, but Storm This will bring rains and wind when it passes through our country. Basically, which usually happens when a hurricane approaches Spanish waters.
Currently Hurricane Gabrielle is moving To the Azores. This is still considered a hurricane, but already went down to category 1, The least destructive, and even lost his characteristic look. Therefore, by the time I come to Spain, Perhaps through the bay of CadizIt will already be a storm.
This is actually logical. Hurricanes need hot water to stay. He said very much rough, The hot water of the ocean is fuel to keep its engines. It is true that the waters around Spain have significantly increased their temperature in recent years; But, fortunately, they have not yet reached levels necessary to maintain a hurricaneThe field is at least at the moment. We cannot know what will happen in the future. At the moment, the hurricane Gabrielle will not bring us destruction, and a series of changes at the time we must take into account.
How was a hurricane Gabrielle formed and why does it turn off?
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone. That is, one Closed air circulation that rotates around the center of very low pressure. Usually, when the wind speed is less or equal to 62 km/h is known as tropical depression. When the winds reach a speed of 63 to 117 km/h, are called a tropical storm and overcome 118 km/h, when we can start talking about a hurricane. This term is used in North Atlantic, Caribbean pool or north -eastern part of the Pacific Ocean. On the other hand, if this happens in North -Waped Pacific OceanThe link is made to the typhoon.
Either a hurricane and typhoon have characteristics that make them unique, for example, as The existence of the eyes Or a calm zone around the wind. They also agree that they support their intensity Put yourself with wet air. Therefore, they are formed only in regions with very hot waters, usually higher than 26 ºC. This is the necessary temperature for Evasion is enough to educate a hurricane of moisture.
In the case of a hurricane, Gabrielle, it was formed on September 17 in the waters of the tropical Atlantic. Then, September 19, he moved to the north -east, Hot water feeding in his wayThe field forced him to quickly get aside Category 4Under which very destructive hurricanes are classified, at a speed of 210 to 251 km/h. Above only one category.
When he approached the Azores, Hurricane Gabriel met more cold watersThe field, therefore, it loses intensity, is already in category 1.
What will happen when I get to Spain?
Storm also Low pressure areaAlthough in your case you do not need hot water for feeding. Rather, it requires intensity The difference in temperature between two layers of airThe field is warm, less dense air, rises and creates Low pressure areaThe field below will be less than air, and therefore it turns out to be less than pressure. As soon as it rises to the places where the temperature is lower, this warm air cools, condensation, which stimulates the formation of adverse climatic conditions, such as rains, strong winds and storms.
Sometimes the storm can be formed directly when the hurricane is weakened, which loses its eye and leaves only that area of low pressure with upward air and adverse weather phenomena. This is what will happen in Spain From Sunday. As explained in the statement, the representative of Aemet, Ruben del KampoFormer Hurricane Gabriel, already turned into storm The poor state of the sea, an intense wind and rains, especially on the western peninsula.
On the other hand, from Eltiempo.es They note that some forecasts indicate that Borraska may approach the north and enter the Portuguese coast to the peninsula. We will have to wait to find out what exactly is happening. At the moment, it seems that almost certainly we will have the last layers of hurricane Gabrielle in our country; But this, as expected, will no longer be a hurricane. The specific consequences of his step will know more security as the day of his arrival approaches.
