Could a Hurricane Milton like Florida occur in Spain? This is what the experts say

Lhe effects that nature can cause are sometimes capable of leaving everyone perplexed. Floods due to storms, extreme heat or earthquakes are feared throughout the planet, But there is a force that is undoubtedly one of the most destructive: hurricanes.

Hurricane Milton that hit the Florida coast once again demonstrated how destructive these phenomena can be. However, these are only limited to some areas of the globe where it is possible for all the factors to occur.

In Spain it does not seem possible that these meteorological events could occur, but with the recent arrival of Hurricane Kirk, which arrived in the form of a large storm, all the alarms have been raised about the possibility of it occurring in the peninsula.

To do this, you must know what the perfect ingredients are for these hurricanes to occur, such as high sea temperature and the consequent storage of this heat in the depths of its waters. This should be accompanied by atmospheric conditions, such as the formation of storms and wind currents that vary slightly with height. This is true in areas such as the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, the tropical Atlantic, the Tropical Pacific and the Philippine Islands.

Is it possible to have a hurricane in Spain?

In Spain it is practically impossible due to the temperature of the North Atlantic Sea. Not even in the Canary Islands, where the water is warmer, but which does not have that perfect storm for the formation of hurricanes. However, on occasions small hurricanes have formed, such as Cyclone Vince, in 2005, which arrived very weak, but discharged its effects in part of Andalusia.

However, its arrival in Spain from the Atlantic Basin is more likely, although the peninsula has a polar jet that acts like a pair of scissors in the face of these storms. This is precisely what happened to Hurricane Kirk, which as the latitude rose to the north was transformed into a storm.
