Hurricane Kirk approaches Europe, experts on alert: It has changed the structure!

The southeastern US state of Florida is bracing for powerful Hurricane Milton amid warnings of heavy rain, strong winds and life-threatening storm surge.

The storm is expected to hit the area this evening, with the potential to be one of the most destructive the state has ever experienced. But while Milton, which has caused panic in the US, may have little impact on Europe, another hurricane is advancing dangerously towards the old continent.

Although according to experts, by the time it arrives this week it may have lost some of its power and become more of a strong tropical storm, it still has the ability to cause chaos and damage.

" We are no longer seeing a storm with the typical round, symmetrical cloud structure with a calm eye in the center, " noted meteorologist Lars Loëinski told Euronews Green, explaining that a storm becomes less "tropical" as it moves away from warm waters. Kirk was a major hurricane early on, having moved between Bermuda in the Caribbean and the Azores over the weekend.

It even briefly reached Category 4 status on the hurricane scale. Lars thinks that Kirk will remain " very strong as it develops into a storm with strong winds, as has often been seen in the North Atlantic and Western Europe during autumn and winter" .

This is expected to be the first such storm system this season, which in Europe usually lasts from October to March. Kirk is expected to hit Portugal and Spain first with winds of up to 130 kilometers per hour; after that, it will continue its way towards France, Switzerland and Germany, and some parts of Great Britain are also preparing for torrential rains.
