Nolo Becomes a Typhoon After Crossing the Date Line
Original: Nolo Changes From a Hurricane to a Typhoon After Crossing the International Date Line
Tropical Storm Nolo crossed the International Date Line in the Pacific, changing its classification from a hurricane to a typhoon. The storm retained its name, as is convention when systems move between the Eastern Pacific basin, where US forecasters track hurricanes, and the Western Pacific, where the same storms are called typhoons. News outlets across the United States are reporting the unusual crossing, which highlights how the same phenomenon gets different names depending on location.
Why now: The rare crossing of the International Date Line by a named storm is an unusual meteorological event drawing broad news coverage.
