What is an Atlantic ocean storm with high winds and rain?
This would be a hurricane.
Where in a hurricane do the strongets winds occur?
The strongest winds in a hurricane in the northern hemisphere are found on the right side of the storm...this is with respect to the direction the storm is moving. For instance, if the storm is moving north, the right side would be the eastern side of the storm. This is reversed in the southern hemisphere.
How much damage does a 56 mph hurricane do?
A storm with 56 mph winds would not be a hurricane; it would be a moderate tropical storm. Winds must be at least 74 mph for a storm to be a hurricane. A tropical storm with such winds may break some tree limbs and down a few trees. Some very weak structures may be damaged. The rain from such a storm could cause significant flooding. How much would be difficult to predict as flooding risk does not depend on wind speed.
Can you feel the winds in an airplane if flying over tropical storm Lee?
"No", would be the short answer.
Does a tropical storm become a hurricane when its speed reaches 50km?
No. A system with 50 km/h winds would not even be a tropical storm. It would be a tropical depression. A tropical system must have winds of at least 63 km/h to be a tropical storm and at least 119 km/h to be a hurricane.
What type of typhoon that has maximum winds between 35-64 kph?
A storm with winds of 35-64 km/h would not be a typhoon. The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a typhoon is 119 km/h. A tropical system with winds of 35-64 km/h would be a tropical depression.
How far out from the hurricane's center would you generally expect to find tropical storm force winds?
150
How far out from a hurricane's center would you generally expect to find tropical storm-force winds?
500 miles
How far out from a hurricane's center would you generally expect to find tropical storm force winds?
500 miles
If the wind is blowing 25 knots what category is the hurricane?
With sustained winds of 25 knots a system would not be a hurricane; it would be a tropical depression. Sustained winds must be at least 64 knots for a storm to be considered a hurricane.
Why are atmospheric pressures considered the best indicator?
In weather: Before a storm comes to an area, say Kansas, the barometric pressure would drop, indicating an imminent storm
What side of the hurricane is the worst?
Assuming we're looking at it from a top view on a map, it were traveling NORTH, then it would the the TOP-RIGHT side of the storm. I'll try to explain why. A Hurricane is a severe storm that rotates around the eye. The storm if stationary would have winds of at least 75 MPH. If the storm were to begin traveling in any direction, the MPH of the storm moving PLUS the MPH of the storm rotating would be the total MPH calculation for the TOP-RIGHT, where as the LOWER-LEFT would be the storms rotation MPH MINUS the speed the storm is moving at. 75 MPH Hurricane that's moving NORTH at 15 MPH would experience winds of 90 MPH on the TOP-RIGHT and 60 MPH on the lower left. If the storm is moving SOUTH, it would be opposite. EAST would be LOWER-RIGHT. WEST would be TOP-LEFT.
