abstract="Tropical storm Otis shocked meteorologists when it turned into the strongest hurricane to ever strike Mexico.   &quot;In moments like these, forecasters utterly failed,&quot; says meteorologist Matt Lanza. &quot;We must do better.&quot; One of the reasons this took forecasters by surprise is that computer models struggle to predict rapid changes that can occur in smaller storms. Otis intensified over a small area in the Pacific Ocean, where the local winds speeds and water temperatures of 31 °C provided the ideal conditions for the storm to worsen. Scientists have warned that these situations are more likely to happen owing to climate change.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
