Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene refers to an intense tropical cyclone that formed in the Atlantic Ocean during the hurricane season. The name Helene is used in the rotation of names for Atlantic hurricanes established by the World Meteorological Organization. Hurricanes are categorized based on their wind speed and intensity, with Helene being classified as a hurricane during its existence. The name is part of a predetermined list that is reused every six years unless a hurricane is particularly deadly or costly, in which case its name may be retired. Each hurricane can cause significant weather changes, including heavy rains, strong winds, and storm surges, impacting coastal regions. The specific occurrences and effects of Hurricane Helene would vary by year, but the term itself mainly denotes storms that have been given this name in recorded history.
