Hurricane Matthew was particularly strong due to a combination of favorable environmental conditions, including warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic, low wind shear, and a conducive atmospheric structure that allowed for efficient heat release. These factors helped the storm rapidly intensify, reaching Category 5 status at its peak. Additionally, its path through the Caribbean allowed it to remain over warm waters for an extended period, further fueling its strength. The geographic layout also contributed to its sustained intensity as it approached land.
