Bertha jul 3 2008
The storm system shows the nascent spiraling shape of a developing cyclone. Within days, Tropical Storm Bertha was halfway across the Atlantic Ocean, intensifying to become a hurricane as it traveled over warm ocean waters. According to the National Hurricane Center, as of July 8, Bertha was a Category 2 strength hurricane, having peaked earlier at Category 3. Forecasts at that time showed Bertha arcing northward towards Bermuda, though forecasters were not expecting the hurricane to directly cross the island.
Bertha was the first hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic storm season. Usually, the first hurricane of a season forms by mid-August; in 2007, the first hurricane was Dean, which formed on August 16. However, it is not unprecedented to have a first hurricane this early in the season. In 1996, another storm formed to become a hurricane on July 7. It, too, was named Bertha. Unless they are retired, storm names are reused every six years.Relevantní obrázky
