2020 Atlantic #27 - Major Hurricane Epsilon

Major Hurricane Epsilon was the twenty-seventh tropical system and the twenty-sixth named storm of the hyperactive 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. Epsilon was the earliest forming twenty-sixth storm on record beating Tropical Storm Delta of 2005 by 34 days. Epsilon was also the fourth major hurricane of the 2020 season. Epsilon is notable for having rapid intensification in the presence of a decent amount of shear at the mid-levels and over cool ocean temperatures. Most rapid intensification storms in October occur in the areas near the Caribbean. Once Epsilon hit the north Atlantic, the storm's strength waned a bit while expanding the area of strongest winds. As of the making and uploading of this video, the remnants of Epsilon have combined with a another non-tropical cyclone and is impacting the Irish and British isles.
