the Outer portions are generally the "coldest." However, overall a hurricane is warmer than its surroundings.

How is a hurricane similar to a vortex?
A hurricane is a kind of vortex. A vortex can be defined as a spiral motion of fluid (liquid or gas) withing a limited area, especially such as motion that pulls in things near it. A hurricane meets this definition.
What is the angriest kind of wind?

What is the coldest part of Jupiter?
the coldest part is the coldest part of Jupiter
What is the most damaging part of a tornado?
That depends on the tornado. In a single vortex tornado the most damaging part would be the edge of the tornado's core, analogous to the eye wall of a hurricane. In a multiple vortex tornado, the most damaging part would be the subvotices that orbit within the main circulation of the tornado.
What is a polar vortex made of?
The polar vortex is simply made of cold air. It isn't anything unusual. It is a low pressure area that develops over the north pole in the winter and, for the most part, keeps the coldest air trapped there. The term gained popularity in the media when a portion of the polar vortex moved away from the Arctic and into portions of the United States and Canada.
Why has the hurricane on Jupiter not stopped?
New research shows that the hurricane on Jupiter has lasted for hundreds of years because when the storm starts to lose energy, vertical flows move hot and cold gases in and out of the storm, which restores part of the vortex's energy.
Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?
If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing. In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.
How do you figure out the coordinates of the vortex are?
A vortex is a spinning or whirling mass of fluid: liquid or gas. Typical examples are a whirlpool or whirlwind or hurricane. These are extended shapes and do not have a single set of coordinates.
Is there a limit to the height of a hurricane vortex?
Yes. A hurricane cannot go any higher than the tropopause, which is no more than 11 miles above the surface.
What are two main parts of a hurricane?
The eye of low pressure and the spinning vortex of high wind speeds
What is a vortex of chaos?
A phrase such as vortex of chaos would be used metaphorically, it does not refer to any specific thing. Vortex indicates some process such as a hurricane, in which there is a strong circular motion, and chaos indicates extreme disorder and unpredictability. This resembles another metaphor, things are spinning out of control.
What part of the hurricane is the stongest part?
The most intense part of a hurricane is the eye wall.
