Summary

[edit]
Description
English: After a slow start, the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season is in full swing. Hurricane Fiona is currently moving over the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean, heading north after having heavily affected various islands on its way. On 18 September, it devastated Puerto Rico, causing a massive power outage that affected nearly 90 per cent of the island and caused at least three casualties. Then, it lashed the Dominican Republic with torrential rain and heavy winds, forcing 12,500 people to leave their homes. On 20 September, Hurricane Fiona passed over the Turks and Caicos Islands, as shown in this image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites. According to the U.S. National Hurricane Centre, Hurricane Fiona is expected to reach Bermuda and then decrease in intensity and become a tropical storm before affecting portions of Canada’s Atlantic coast later this week. The images acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites allow the monitoring of hurricanes and cyclones globally.
