Hurricane

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 285.4 Hz, 149 cents flat of E♭4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

Tap to play the day Polo grew from 70 to 155 knots; tap again to go back to the start.

Hurricane Polo grew over the warm eastern Pacific, off the coast of Mexico, in September 2026. In the 24 hours from September 21 to 22 its strongest winds rose from 70 to 155 knots (about 290 kilometers an hour), a burst forecasters call rapid intensification, and a clear eye formed in its center.

The clouds are built from infrared pictures from NOAA's GOES-East satellite at the start and end of that day: colder cloud tops are higher, so each cloud stands as tall as its temperature says. They turn counterclockwise around the eye, faster near the center, with rain falling and low winds spiraling in. Tap it to play the day: the storm follows its best track from the National Hurricane Center, the early ragged clouds give way to the later ones, and it spins faster as it strengthens. The two pictures are real; the change between them is a blend.
