The Atlantic Ocean may witness one of meteorology’s rarest and most intriguing phenomena this week as Tropical Storm Humberto and a nearby developing system, Invest 94L, move closer together. These storms could interact through the Fujiwhara Effect, a complex dynamic where two cyclonic systems orbit around a shared center. While more common in the western Pacific, this effect occasionally occurs in the Atlantic, last seen in 2023 with Tropical Storms Philippe and Rina. Such interactions can dramatically affect storm trajectories, intensities, and landfall possibilities, complicating forecasts. The Fujiwhara Effect can result in one storm dominating, merging with the other, or creating unpredictable rotations, making it a key focus for meteorologists and coastal communities. The Fujiw
