Imagini rare din interiorul unui uragan de categoria 5 | Un avion a traversat ochiul furtunii Polo

NOAA's WP-3D Orion aircraft flew through Hurricane Polo's eye, capturing stunning images of the storm's structure. With winds reaching 290 km/h, Polo became one of the strongest cyclones recorded in the Eastern Pacific. The mission provided crucial data for meteorologists, revealing a central pressure of 892 millibars. Polo intensified rapidly, reaching category 5 status in just one day. After the flight, the storm underwent a temporary weakening phase, but still posed risks of heavy rainfall and landslides along the Mexican coast.
