What is the wet side of a hurricane?
The wet side of a hurricane is the side where the most intense rainfall and strongest winds occur. This side is typically to the right of the storm's direction of movement in the Northern Hemisphere. Winds on the wet side of a hurricane blow from the ocean towards the land, bringing with them moisture that leads to heavy rainfall.
Which side is the wet side of a hurricane?
The right side of a hurricane is typically the wet side, as it is where the fastest winds are located and where the storm's forward motion adds to the rainfall intensity.
Sides of a hurricane wet and dry side?
In the northern hemisphere Atlantic ocean, where storms generally track from east to west, and their winds rotate counter-clockwise, the north side (or east side of a north-tracking storm) is the wetter side, while the south side (or west side of a north-tracking storm) is the dryer sides. Note that the wet side has higher-speed winds because the storm speed is additive, while the dry side has lower-speed winds because the forward tracking speed of the storm reduces the wind speeds.
Which side of a hurricane is the worse side east or west?
If a hurricane or other tropical cyclone is moving the winds on one side will be faster than on the opposite side in relation to the ocean or ground the storm is moving over. In the Northern Hemisphere the fastest winds will be on the right side, if you are looking in the direction of the storm's movement. That is, if the hurricane is moving toward the west, the strongest winds will be on the north side; if it's moving north, the strongest winds will be on the east side.
Which side of a hurricane has the most rain?
The side of a hurricane that typically has the most rain is the front right quadrant. This area of the storm tends to have the strongest winds and the greatest amount of moisture, leading to heavier rainfall.

Is the west side of a hurricane the worst?
Not necessarily. Generally the right side of a hurricane is worst. Since hurricanes spin counterclockwise the wind speed on the right side of the hurricane is equal to the speed the hurricane is spinning plus its forward speed. So if a hurricane is spinning at 90 mph and traveling at 10 mph, areas on the right side of the storm would experience 100 mph winds. The stronger winds also lead to a higher storm surge. Because of this the west side of a hurricane would be worst if it were traveling south. If the storm is traveling north, which is somewhat more common, then the east side is worse.
