English: Less than two weeks after being hit by Category 4 Hurricane Eta, several Central American countries have had to brace themselves for the arrival of Category 5 Hurricane Iota. The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned of potentially devastating storm surges and winds, accompanied by torrential rains. Iota is the strongest hurricane and the 30th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic season. This is the highest number of named storms since modern record-keeping began (the previous record of 28 was set in 2005). It also marked the first time that two hurricanes formed in the Atlantic in the month of November. Additionally, it is the 13th storm to reach hurricane strength this year. Hurricane warnings have been issued for large portions of coastal Nicaragua and Honduras, but the storm could also have a severe impact on Belize and Guatemala. This true colour image was captured by one of the two Sentinel-3 satellites on 16 November at 15:25UTC, when Iota was moving towards Central America and its eye was about 170km from the coast of Nicaragua. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission is composed of two twin satellites (Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B) that have been equipped with two optical instruments, the Ocean Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) and the Sea Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR). The two sensors provide imagery with a daily revisit that enables us to improve our scientific knowledge on atmospheric composition and gather essential information for climate studies and weather forecasting.
