Basically, an analysis of the atmospheric pressure and wind patterns is made around where the hurricane is located, sometimes by soundings as well as direct flight measurements. This data is fed into various models that have known strengths and weaknesses, and the atmosphere is then forecasted, with the track and speed of the hurricane projected based on those atmospheric conditions.

Have hurricanes ever collided with each other?

No, hurricanes do not collide with each other. Instead, they can interact in ways that influence each other's paths and intensities, but they do not physically collide.


What happens when two hurricanes collide and merge?

When two hurricanes collide and merge, they can combine to form a larger and more powerful storm. This process is known as the Fujiwhara effect. The two storms rotate around a common center and can influence each other's paths and intensities.


Have 2 hurricanes ever merged before landfall?

From the reference: No, it's actually impossible for two or more hurricanes to merge together. But if two hurricanes or tropical storms do come close together, they can interact with one another. Their close proximity may weaken one or both of the storms. Or they may begin circling around each other. This is called the Fujiwhara effect, named after a Japanese meteorologist who first explained the phenomenon. 5 days ago Source(s): http://www.wxdude.com/tropical.html


Do hurricanes follow slave ship routes?

Well, honey, hurricanes don't have GPS tracking historical routes like some fancy cruise ship. They form based on weather conditions, not historical paths. So no, hurricanes don't give a damn about where slave ships sailed centuries ago. Next question, please!


How have the hurricanes affected the people who lived in their paths?

theyy have affected people who live in their paths because people are losing houses and important valuable in their homes , cars , clothing and what is very important is that people are dying because of the flooding people can get lost from the current of the water and winds pushing them to another location.

Do Hurricanes follow orderly and predictable paths?

Only to a limited degree. Many hurricanes do follow the same general trend in the paths they take. While the general path of a hurricane can be predicted within reason, the exact path of a hurricane is never quite certain. Furthermore, some hurricanes do follow unusual paths.


Does a hurricanes path ever change?

Not only do hurricane paths change, they are near unpredictable.

Can an moderately large earthquake change a path of a potentially incoming hurricane?

No. The paths of hurricanes are determined by wind currents, which have absolutely nothing to do with earthquakes.


How are hurricanes formed in barbados?

Hurricanes do not form in Barbados, but they can strike there. Hurricanes develop from clusters of thunderstorms over warm ocean water. These clusters gain energy from the moisture that evaporates from the warm water and can organize and intensify to become hurricanes. Large-scale wind patterns then direct how these hurricanes move. Some of the resulting paths go across Barbados. Many of the hurricanes that affect Barbados and surrounding areas starts as disturbances that move off the west coast of Africa.


What does hurricanes and blizzards have in common?

Both hurricanes and blizzards are large-scale weather systems that can cause significant damage and disruptions. They are characterized by strong winds and heavy precipitation, and both have the potential to be dangerous and impactful to communities in their paths.

Will a hurricane ever strike Wisconsin?

While it is rare, hurricanes can impact areas as far north as Wisconsin. However, the likelihood of a hurricane directly hitting Wisconsin is low due to its location far from the typical hurricane paths in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
