sea temperature or a large area of water such as oceans are were hurricanes form. a hurricane gains its energy from warmness and humidity (moist) on an area. if the sea temperature is high or warm the hurricane will be more stronger. If temperature is low it will be weak and cause low damage.

What are the three factors that weaken a hurricane during development?

Three factors that weaken a hurricane during development are wind shear, cooler sea surface temperatures, and dry air intrusions. Wind shear disrupts the organization of the storm, cooler sea surface temperatures reduce the heat and energy available for the storm, and dry air can inhibit thunderstorm activity needed for hurricane development.


How cold can it be in the Eye of a Hurricane?

The temperature in the eye of a hurricane is generally similar to the surrounding environment, which is typically warm due to the energy released by the storm. It is unlikely to be extremely cold in the eye of a hurricane, as the warm air rising in the eyewall helps maintain a relatively stable temperature.


What temperature does a hurricane?

A hurricane typically forms when ocean temperatures are around 80°F (27°C) or higher. However, once a hurricane develops, it does not have a specific temperature associated with it as it is a large, complex storm system fueled by warm, moist air.


What causes a hurricane to spin?

A hurricane's spin is a result of a the Coriolis effect. a consequence of the earth's spin. The low pressure in a hurricane draws air toward the center of a hurricane, however, as a result of earth's spin wind currents in the northern hemisphere get deflected to the right, this actually reduces the change in velocity further away from the center of lowest pressure. As a consequence, this gives the storm a counterclockwise spin. The effect is reversed in the southern hemisphere.


How do hurricane winds spiral in the northern hemisphere?

In the northern hemisphere, hurricane winds spiral counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation.

You record the sea temperature to be 28C the humidity to be very high and a very light breeze. Do you expect a hurricane to form in these conditions Please Explain why or why not.?

No, a hurricane would not form in those conditions. There is not enough breeze to do so, but all of the other factors are favorable for a hurricane to form. The sea temperature has to be about 26oC and the sea temperature is 28oC. Also, the air has to be moist because hurricanes produce lots of precipitation, and it says that the humidity is very high. But, you would also need to know where the location is because a hurricane forms between 8o and 20o of the Equator.


Does the temperature of the Dead Sea affect it's saltiness?

no, but it does effect the density


What was the water temperature of hurricane isidore after it formed?

Hurricane Isidore formed in September 2002 in the Caribbean Sea. The water temperature in that region is typically warm, around 80-85°F (27-29°C), which would have contributed to the storm's strength as it developed.


How does elevation above sea level effect temperature?

The higher the elevation, the colder it gets.

What are three factors that weaken a hurricane during development?

Many factors may cause the development of a hurricane to weaken. Three factors are low sea surface temperature, high wind shear and making landfall.


Which of these has stronger winds sea islands hurricane hurricane Katrina or lake Okeechobee?

i think it really is hurricane katrina


What is the approximate sea surface temperature for a hurricane development?

The temperature usually becomes a lot warmer during a tropical storm as water vapor is transported into the troposphere. In tropical oceans, the sea surface temperature (SST) becomes warmer as the water changes rapidly in a layer of the ocean called the thermocline.


Where did hurricane sandy originate?

Hurricane Sandy first formed in the Caribbean sea.


How can sea temperature change a hurricane?

As I understand it, hurricanes develop, and enlarge as a result of absorbing ENERGY in the form of HEAT from the water over which they travel.Therefore, the greater the heat, the greater the chances of a hurricane growing larger and more violent. And the converse of that is also true: As the temperature of the mass [water or land] over which the hurricane travels decreases, the greater the tendency for it to weaken and dissipate.


Did hurricane Katrina hit a sea?

no hurricane Katrina did not hit a sea but got more violent because of passing by the gulf of Mexico


Does the moon effect the intensity of a hurricane?
