The Atlantic hurricane season has intensified with Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda swirling through warm waters, fuelling speculation about whether the two systems could engage in the rare Fujiwhara effect.

While meteorologists caution that the storms are unlikely to merge into a single 'super-hurricane', their proximity may still influence their paths and amplify risks along the US Gulf and East Coasts.
