The southern Pacific Ocean region is witnessing an unprecedented astronomical event since 2021, with the formation of three simultaneous tropical cyclones named "Rai," "Sero," and "Alfred," in a rare phenomenon coinciding with the peak of the hurricane season extending from November to April.
This astronomical event is exceptional for the Pacific Ocean, although common in other regions like the North Atlantic Ocean, where multiple hurricanes form during the same period.
According to Brian Tang, an atmospheric sciences professor at the University at Albany, having three hurricanes simultaneously is considered a highly active period, although not unprecedented in the region's history. In January 2021, the southern Pacific Ocean witnessed a similar phenomenon when hurricanes "Lucas," "Anna," and "Pina" formed, although the classification of "Pina" as a Category 1 storm was not officially confirmed.
The question arises: Are we experiencing a historic moment in the Pacific Ocean?
The answer to this question depends on the continuation and developments of these hurricanes, and their impact on the region and its inhabitants. Amidst this unique phenomenon, everyone remains eager to see what the coming days hold.
