Timelapse of Cyclone Freddy Shows Record-Breaking Life Span

Cyclone Freddy has been raging in the Indian Ocean for almost an entire month straight, making it one of the longest-lasting storms of its kind in recorded human history. The cyclone is currently on course to hit the country of Mozambique on Africa’s east coast for a second time, nearly two weeks after it initially killed 20+ people across both Mozambique and Madagascar the first time it made landfall. According to the World Meteorological Organization, it is ‘very rare’ and ‘incredible and dangerous’ for a cyclone to last as long as Freddy has — a sign that the climate crisis is making many hurricanes, cyclones, and tropical storms more intense in recent years. » Sign up for our newsletter KnowThis to get the biggest stories of the day delivered straight to your inbox: https://go.nowth.is/knowthis_youtube » Subscribe to NowThis Earth: https://www.youtube.com/channel/nowthisearth #Earth #Environment #ClimateCrisis #NowThis Connect with NowThis Earth » Follow us on TikTok: https://go.nowth.is/Earth_TikTok » Follow us on Instagram: https://go.nowth.is/Earth_Instagram » Follow us on Snap: https://go.nowth.is/Earth_Snap » Follow us on Facebook: https://go.nowth.is/Earth_Facebook NowThis Earth is daily news coverage of climate, sustainability, biodiversity, species extinction, environmental justice, and other planetary concerns.
