Wind power up to 300km / h, super storm 'monster' Dorian is almost still

Dorian has winds of up to 300km / h, but the upper airflow in the atmosphere is quiet. Therefore, Typhoon Dorian stood still in the Bahamas.

Hurricane Dorian has slowed down and nearly stood still in the Bahamas , causing unending rain on the islands. This is unfortunate for the Bahamas, but can help Florida reduce the damage, according to meteorologists.

According to them, the movement of the storms is determined by the airflow in the upper layer of the atmosphere 5,500m from the ground. But the air currents are standing still and so is Dorian, according to AP.

Reaching record winds after landing in the Bahamas, Typhoon Dorian was almost stationary. The heart of the storm was on Grand Bahama Island on the evening of September 1, and 18 hours later it was still there.

'This is unprecedented , ' Jeff Masters, Director of Meteorology at weather data provider Weather Underground, who once flew into the storm zone to collect data, told the AP. 'We have not seen the level 5 hurricane (on a scale of 1-5 used in the US) stop so long in the Atlantic.'

A high-pressure system in Bermuda is acting as a wall to prevent Dorian storm from going north to reach the US coast.

But an area of ​​low pressure that is moving eastward from the Midwest is reducing the impact of the high pressure system, and trying to pull Dorian up to the north.

These two weather systems are 'struggling and neither side is winning,' Masters said.

He added that the longer the Dorian storm stays in the Bahamas, the lower the pressure area is likely to reduce the impact of the high pressure system and redirect the Dorian storm to the north, according to AP.
