Hurricane Irene quickly returns to the fifth stormy category

Hurricane Irene quickly intensified into a fifth -class hurricane, mobilizing the maximum sustainable wind of 160 miles per hour (260 km/h).

Mike Brennan, director of the National Hurricane Center, said to inform that the “very strong” storm had deepened and intensified “overnight” after it grows from the strength of the tropical storm on Friday.

Irene is expected to pass to the north of the Liward Islands, Virgin and Puerto Rico Islands during the weekend, up to 6 inches (15 cm) of rain, with a possibility of flashing floods.

The storm, which is the first hurricane in the 2025 season, is not currently expected to fall on the mainland of the United States.

Hurricane Irene underwent a rapid condensation, as the storm strengthens at least 34 miles per hour in a period of 24 hours.

Brennan said that Irene’s winds intensified from 100 miles per hour early from Saturday to 160 miles per hour.

Next week, Hurricane Irene is expected to move gradually north, after the east of the Bahamas and even external banks in North Carolina.

Mr. Brennan said that the storm will generate life -threatening browsing and tear the currents until the entire “East Coast” almost to the United States next week.

He said that Florida and the Atlantic Medium states would witness the most dangerous surfing conditions.

Mr. Brennan added that Bermuda can also see “life -threatening” browsing conditions and heavy rains.

Because of the winds of the Gale Force, the American Coast Guard imposes restrictions on ships in the ports in St. Thomas and St. John in the American Virgin Islands, as well as six municipalities in Portorico, including San Juan.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the initial weather agency of the United States government, expected the “normal” Atlantic season this year.

It is expected that the number of tropical storms that reaches the fourth and fifth category will increase due to the phenomenon of global warming.
