‘Extremely hazardous’ hurricane expected to develop from tropical storm Lee

The Tropical Storm Lee is going to get stronger and become a very dangerous hurricane in a few days.

The storm has started in the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to become a hurricane by Wednesday, according to the US National Hurricane Centre (NHC).

It is still too soon to know how much it will affect us, but it is not expected to reach land right now.

It is predicted that Lee will turn into a very strong hurricane. According to the NHC, the hurricane is expected to affect the Leeward Islands.

The text is saying that it is too early to know exactly where and how much impact there will be, but people in that area should keep an eye on the progress of Lee.

The wind from Lee is predicted to be very strong later in the week, reaching 145mph (233km/h). This would make it a category four hurricane.

The NHC says that a hurricane of this size could cause very serious damage if it hits land.

This happened shortly after Hurricane Idalia hit Florida, causing damage to homes and power lines. The hurricane then moved to Georgia and brought bad weather to the Carolinas. In Georgia, there were big power outages that lasted for several days. Over 200,000 people were affected by this.

The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to have more hurricanes than normal, and the strongest storms are expected to occur in about a week.

Scientists are not sure how climate change affects the number of tropical storms. However, when the ocean’s surface gets hotter, it warms up the air above it, and this extra heat energy can help make hurricanes stronger.

Therefore, they will very likely become stronger and have heavier rainfall.
