Initially forecasted to be a moderate storm, Hurricane Milton in the Gulf of Mexico intensified so rapidly that
According to CNN, Milton has now strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane—the highest level on the Saffir-Simpson scale used in the U.S.—with wind speeds of 290 km/h. For comparison, on the wind scale used in some other countries, this would far exceed Level 17, where winds range from 202 to 220 km/h.
This development has made Hurricane Milton the strongest storm in the world this year, surpassing Hurricane Beryl, which had peak winds of 265.5 km/h, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). However, many meteorologists believe that Milton has not yet reached its peak intensity and may continue to strengthen.
