A plot of the CIMSS Advanced Dvorak Technique<\/a><\/strong> tropical cyclone intensity estimate (above)<\/em><\/strong> indicated that Hurricane Paloma experienced a period of rapid intensification late in the day on 07 November — apparently the tropical cyclone was moving over a tongue of high Ocean Heat Content (below)<\/strong>,<\/em> which may have aided such intensification. On 08 November, Hurricane Paloma became the second strongest November hurricane on record (behind Hurricane Lenny in 1999)<\/em> — and it is also interesting to note that 2008 now becomes the only year on record with a major hurricane occurring in 5 separate months (Bertha in July, Gustav in August, Ike in September, Omar in October, and Paloma in November)<\/em>.<\/p>\n
