Extratropical cyclones can also be destructive by producing strong winds and flooding. Both can produce severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.

Where do wind storms occur mostly?

Wind storms can occur in various parts of the world, but they are most common in regions with strong wind patterns such as the mid-latitudes and coastal areas. Areas prone to wind storms include parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, as well as regions near the equator where tropical cyclones develop.
