If sustained winds reach or exceed 39 mph, a tropical depression becomes a tropical storm.
The maximum storm surge occurs on the side of the storm where winds blow towards the shore. Soon afterwards the storm weakens rapidly.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a typhoon is 74 miles per hour. Sustained winds as high as 195 miles per hour have been observed.
Trade winds blow from east to west while the westerlies blow from west to east. Trade winds blow near the equator whereas the westerlies blow in the middle latitudes.
global winds blow in specific directions.
The winds which blow permanently in one direction throughout the year are primary winds.
A little ove 750 mph that is
A tropical depression causes hurricanes and typhoons on water most typically for the US in the Gulf of Mexico and when these reach land their strong winds blow away loose materials.

Type your answer here... tropical
Within a tropical cyclone the winds at lower levels are slower than those at upper levels, especially if the storm is moving onto land. At these lower speeds, the low-level winds blow more toward the center of the cyclone, while upper-level winds move in a more circular fashion. This creates wind shear, which can lead to rotation in some of the storm cells within the cyclone. This rotation can lead to the formation of tornadoes.
It creates East Winds and then they soon create a storm or lightning
The Caribbean has a tropical climate with northeast trade winds. There are no extremes in temperature. Winters are warm and sunny and summers are hot.
The maximum storm surge occurs on the side of the storm where winds blow towards the shore. Soon afterwards the storm weakens rapidly.
Winds in a hurricane, tropical storm, cyclone, any cyclonic storm in the northern hemisphere blow in a counterclockwise direction around the eye, the center of the storm. South of the equator they blow clockwise, all this due to the Coriolis Effect.To find the eye of an approaching hurricane, when you are experiencing its winds, the eye will be 90 degrees to the right of the prevailing wind.Whatever the case if you are out doors during the passing of a hurricane you will see the cloud bands in the sky as the storm approaches. So whatever way the cloud bands are going that is the way the wind is blowing (in the sky); no matter what hemisphere. With that being said; if the wind increases the storm is coming towards your location. If you ears begin to crackle and pop like your on an airplane that usually means the eye is approaching-passing over your location.Another opinion:Having observed the winds through hurricanes Francis and Jeanne, which hit about 60 miles North of me and Wilma, where the eye passed over my home and tropical storm Fay, I have learned that I can judge the relative position of the storm - at least the direction of it with respect to my location. My observations are that the prevailing winds blow towards the center of the storm. I watch which way the palm fronds are pointed and if the storm is close enough to see on weather radar, the palm fronds are always pointed towards the storm. Note that I said the prevailing winds. Gusts can come from many directions.
why north winds blow to southwest
If you took a trip near the equator, you would expect to find the trade winds. These are steady winds that blow from the east towards the west, between the equator and 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. Trade winds are characterized by their consistency and are commonly experienced in tropical regions.
Yes he did, from the hurricane/tropical storm that had hit the island. Because he had received the full blow of it protecting Phillip.
