Impact of Cape Verde's Climate Systems on the Atlantic Worries North American Experts
Cape Verde's cyclones are being monitored due to their impact on the Caribbean and the Americas, and can transform into hurricanes as they cross the Atlantic between August and September, driven by record temperatures of up to 28 degrees Celsius on the sea surface. The Mindelo Oceanographic Research Center has been fundamental in understanding how these climate phenomena originate and develop, improving meteorological forecasts in the Cape Verdean region.
Low pressure systems, known as cyclones, which are named "Cape Verde Hurricanes" because they appear nearby, are being closely monitored due to their significant impact on the Caribbean and American regions. These systems can intensify into hurricanes as they cross the Atlantic towards the west, especially between the months of August and September.
