Comment: We also cannot accept drafts written with a large language model. Jalen Barks (Woof) 03:12, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Meteorology does not predict the impossible, and current NHC predictions have this storm turning northward away from North America, therefore making this storm not notable. Jalen Barks (Woof) 02:28, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Hurricane Kirk is a currently active Category 2 hurricane who's remnants will threaten Western Europe. The twelfth depression and named storm, seventh hurricane, and third major hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Kirk originated from an broad area of low pressure near Cape Verde. Showers associated with the system organized, and satellite imagery on September 29 showed that the storm had intensified into a tropical depression. It became Tropical Storm Kirk the next day. A few days later, Kirk intensified into a Category 1 hurricane while moving north-west.

Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionOn September 28, the NHC began monitoring a broad area of low pressure producing limited shower activity west of Cabo Verde.[1] As showers and thunderstorms associated with the disturbance became better organized,[2] satellite imagery on September 29 revealed that the disturbance's circulation was becoming better defined.[3] As a result, later that day, it developed into Tropical Depression Twelve.[4] The next day it developed into Tropical Storm Kirk.[5] Amidst "quite conducive" environmental conditions, Kirk strengthened at a quick pace, with the National Hurricane Center noting a partial eyewall by early on September 30. Around the afternoon of October 1, the NHC reported that Kirk became a hurricane.[6] After fluctuating in intensity following that rapid intensification period, Kirk reached Category 4 intensity by late on October 3.[7] The system reached its peak the following morning, with Category 4 winds of 145 mph (230 km/h), far to the east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands.[8]
Preparations and impact
[edit]In the United Kingdom, authorities warned of heavy rainfall and flooding, with rainfall estimates around 75 millimetres (3.0 in), mainly in England and Wales.[9]
