Occasionally they show up in pairs. But according to meteorologists, August 2015 marked the first time in recorded history that three Category 4 storms simultaneously paraded over the central and eastern Pacific. The image shows a nighttime view of hurricanes Kilo, Ignacio, and Jimena (from west to east). The image is a mosaic, based on data collected during three orbital passes of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi-NPP satellite.Locations:Pacific OceanDate:30 Aug, 2015Credit:© NASAMaximum size:9000px X 5000pxRestrictions:CREDIT NASA, NOT FOR SALE.
