Elevan el supertifón Mawar a nivel de un huracán atlántico de categoría 5

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:58:27 GMT

(CNN) — El supertifón Mawar se ha fortalecido a medida que se aleja de Guam, y ahora tiene vientos sostenidos de 266 km/h con ráfagas de hasta 322 km/h, según el Centro Conjunto de Alerta de Tifones. Esto hace que Mawar sea equivalente a un huracán atlántico de categoría 5.Mawar es la quinta tormenta en lo que va de año que alcanza esta intensidad (vientos de 253 km/h o más). En promedio, sólo se desarrollan cinco tormentas de categoría 5 al año, lo que significa que 2023 ya ha tenido un año de estas poderosas tormentas, con casi todas las temporadas de huracanes y tifones del Atlántico y el Pacífico aún por venir.Mawar continuará moviéndose hacia el oeste-noroeste, alejándose de Guam, hacia el norte de Filipinas y Taiwán, y no se espera que amenace tierra en los próximos días. Es posible un fortalecimiento adicional en las próximas 12 a 24 horas y luego se espera un lento debilitamiento.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2023 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery C...
