Explanation:

To determine when the hurricane's eye passed, we analyze the data:

• Wind Speed: Typically, wind speed drops significantly (calm or very low) at the eye.
• Atmospheric Pressure: Pressure is lowest at the eye (barometric reading minimum).
• Temperature: May stabilize or show a temporary shift, but wind and pressure are key.

Looking at the graph:

• Wind speed drops to a minimum (near 0 or very low) around noon (12 PM) on September 13.
• Atmospheric pressure also reaches a trough (lowest reading) around this time.
• Wind direction shifts, consistent with the eye’s passage (calm winds at the eye, then wind direction reverses as the eye moves past).

Answer:

Around Noon (12 PM) on September 13 (or the time corresponding to the "Noon" label in the graph’s timeline, e.g., 12 PM, September 13).
