Forecasters could soon be better able to predict the intensity of tropical cyclones by analyzing relative-humidity levels within their large-scale environments, finds a new study. The researchers found the hurricanes that rapidly intensified tended to exist within a moister large-scale environment than weaker storms. The rapidly intensifying hurricanes had statistically significant higher relative-humidity levels in their environments than storms whose intensity was weakening or unchanged.
