JUST IN: Australian Cyclone Narelle has been upgraded to a Category 4 storm over the warm waters of the Coral Sea, with her core pressure crashing down to 935 MBAR. This makes her the most intense storm yet of the 2025-26 Australian Cyclone Season. Furious lightning activity is thoroughly electrifying the eyewall around Narelle’s pinhole eye as rapid intensification continues.

Watch this seven-day satellite study of Hurricane Beryl, which plummets from a devastating Category 5 hurricane to a tropical storm, only to surge back to a hurricane. Pay attention to the sudden transformation back to a hurricane just before landfall. Nearly three million people in Texas are left without power. Power outages may last multiple days.
