Cape Verde Hurricane

The Cape Verde Hurricane refers to a powerful storm that forms near the Cape Verde islands off the west coast of Africa. These hurricanes often develop from tropical waves over warm Atlantic waters, gaining strength as they move westward. Such storms can become some of the strongest in the Atlantic basin, potentially affecting landmasses in the Caribbean, the Americas, or Atlantic shipping routes. Their formation is linked to favorable conditions like warm ocean temperatures, low wind shear, and high humidity. Monitoring Cape Verde hurricanes is important for early warnings and preparing communities in their potential path.
