The next day, the cyclone started again west, into an environment with ocean temperatures exceptionally conductive to explosive intensification. By 4:00 AM on the 8th, it had re-intensified into a cyclone, but was prevented from strengthening that day due to significant wind shear in the cyclone's path. Wind shear gradually dissipated over the day, and by 11:00 PM on the 8th, the cyclone weakened slightly once more to a severe tropical storm, before explosively intensifying starting at 9:00 AM on the 9th of Agotzo. Hurricane hunters around this time reported the increase of the cyclone's 10 minute sustained wind speed from approximately 85 miles an hour to 200 miles an hour in six hours, an intensification of 115 miles an hour within 6 hours, or approximately an increase of 20 an hour. | The next day, the cyclone started again west, into an environment with ocean temperatures exceptionally conductive to explosive intensification.
