reintensifying

Growing stronger once more

Reintensifying is the process of becoming intense again after a period of weakening or subsiding.

Weather reports use it for storms that regain strength: The hurricane is reintensifying over warm Gulf waters.

The term applies to anything that diminishes then builds back up—conflicts, emotions, symptoms: Fighting reintensified after the ceasefire collapsed.
