hurricane
A tropical storm is given a name when it becomes a tropical storm, with winds of at least 39 mph.
A tropical depression becomes a tropical storm when sustained winds reach 39 mph or greater.
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when sustained winds reach 74 mph
Generally not. A tropical storm is the same type of storm as a hurricane except weaker. A tropical storm has sustained winds ranging from39 to 73 mph. One winds hit 74 mph or higher it is considered a hurricane.
A tropical storm is named when it reaches maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 miles per hour (63 kilometers per hour).
Tropical storm
The progression of increasing strength is: Tropical depression (under 39 mph winds) Tropical storm (39-73 mph winds) Hurricane (winds 74 mph or higher)
A tropical storm is given a name when it becomes a tropical storm, with winds of at least 39 mph.
Simply one of strength. When a tropical cyclone has sustained winds under 39 mph it is a tropical depression. When a tropical cyclone has sustained winds from 39 mph to 73 mph it is s a tropical storm. When a tropical cyclone has winds of 74 mph or higher it is a hurricane.
Yes, hurricanes are a type of tropical storm. Specifically, hurricanes are classified as tropical cyclones that have sustained winds of 74 miles per hour (119 kilometers per hour) or higher. Tropical storms, on the other hand, have sustained winds ranging from 39 to 73 miles per hour. Both hurricanes and tropical storms form over warm ocean waters and are characterized by strong winds and heavy rainfall.
Yes. A tropical storm has sustained winds of 39-73mph.
Yes. A tropical storm has sustained winds of 39-73 mph. A tropical depression has winds of less than 39 mph.
A tropical cyclone is classified as a hurricane once it reaches sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. Before that, it is known as a tropical depression (winds less than 39 mph) and then a tropical storm (winds between 39-73 mph).
A tropical depression becomes a tropical storm when sustained winds reach 39 mph or greater.
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when sustained winds reach 74 mph
No. A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph. A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with winds from 39 mph to 73 mph.
Generally not. A tropical storm is the same type of storm as a hurricane except weaker. A tropical storm has sustained winds ranging from39 to 73 mph. One winds hit 74 mph or higher it is considered a hurricane.
