Researchers looked at storms in the North Atlantic from 1900 to 2020 and found that about 15% of them stalled at least once. They define a stall as a storm staying within a 124-mile area for 72 hours. One example is Hurricane Ginger in 1971, which stalled four different times.Stalls are more frequent throughout the Gulf and Atlantic basins in September and in the Western Caribbean by October . October has more stalled storms in the Caribbean Sea than any other month.
What’s interesting is that stalling has been happening more often since the satellite era started in 1966, going up by 1.5% every year. Tropical storms slow down or “stall” when the winds guiding them are weak or when winds at different levels of the atmosphere move in opposite directions. Scientists believe that as the planet warms, tropical storms may move more slowly, leading to an increase in stalling storms. This is because warming causes changes in the atmosphere, such as weaker winds and less movement for storms, allowing them to stay in one spot for longer.
