L'ouragan Irma, en catégorie 5 depuis plus de 33 heures, est le cyclone de cette intensité le plus long jamais enregistré dans le monde par les services météorologiques, affirme jeudi Météo France.
Irma bat le record du super typhon Haiyan, qui en 2013 aux Philippines avait généré les mêmes vents (295 km/h) mais pendant 24 heures. «Une telle intensité d'une telle longévité, c'est du jamais vu dans le monde, depuis le début de l'ère satellitaire», il y a une cinquantaine d'années, a précisé à l'AFP Étienne Kapikian, prévisionniste à Météo France.
