Hurricanes Typhoons and Cyclones

Cyclone is the generic term for a low-pressure system with surface winds spinning in a circular motion. The six main types of cyclones are polar cyclones, polar lows, extratropical cyclones, subtropical cyclones, tropical cyclones, and mesocyclones. When the winds reach speeds of 74 miles per hour, a tropical cyclone might be called a hurricane or typhoon, depending on the region where it formed.

Should you crack open a window during a hurricane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, you should not crack open a window during a hurricane. This can actually increase the destructive force of the storm and put you at risk of injury from flying debris. It's important to stay indoors and take shelter in the safest area of your home during a hurricane.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The list of hurricane names for each season is determined by the World Meteorological Organization. As of now, there are no plans to include the name "Shay" in the list of future hurricane names. However, the list is subject to periodic updates, so it is possible that "Shay" could be included in a future list.

How does the sun energy cause hurricanes and wind?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The sun heats the land and oceans unevenly, creating areas of upwards and downwards moving air as well as pressure differences. This causes air to flow from one area to another. For hurricanes the sun heats the ocean, causing some water to evaporate. The water vapor powers convection in storms which can then strengthen and organize to form hurricanes.

No, there hasn't been a hurricane named Brittany. The Atlantic hurricane naming system does not include the name Brittany. Each year, a list of pre-determined names is used to identify tropical cyclones, and Brittany is not one of them.

Why is temperature important for a tropical storm?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Temperature is important for a tropical storm because it influences the formation and intensity of the storm. Warm ocean temperatures provide the energy and moisture needed for tropical storms to develop and strengthen. Higher temperatures can lead to more evaporation, which increases the formation of thunderstorms and the likelihood of a tropical storm forming. Warmer temperatures also allow tropical storms to maintain their strength and potentially intensify.

What tornado strength would equal 892 millibars of hurricane strength?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no direct conversion between tornado strength and hurricane intensity as they are measured on different scales. Tornado strength is typically measured on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, while hurricane strength is measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale based on wind speeds. These scales are not directly comparable, so there is no equivalent rating between a tornado's EF scale and a hurricane's pressure in millibars.

What is the difference in mph in a category 1 hurricane and a category 2 hurricane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The difference in maximum sustained wind speeds between a category 1 and category 2 hurricane is 15-25 mph. Category 1 hurricanes have maximum sustained winds of 74-95 mph, while category 2 hurricanes have maximum sustained winds of 96-110 mph.

How do you draw a typhoon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To draw a typhoon, start by sketching a large swirl shape to represent the cloud mass of the storm. Add curved lines radiating out from the center to indicate wind movement. Then, add jagged lines at the bottom to represent rain and waves. Finally, add details like lightning bolts and dark shading for a more dramatic effect.

What is the weather like after hurricane earl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The weather after Hurricane Earl can vary depending on the location and the path of the storm. In general, there may be residual rain and wind in the immediate aftermath. However, as the storm moves away and dissipates, the weather typically begins to improve, with clearing skies and decreasing winds.

What can you do about a storm?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Secure loose articles in pool area. If you have a pool blanket ensure it is entirely deployed. If unsure roll up blanket and remove roller to safer area with overcover fitted. Check baskets and skim pool of leaves after the storm has passed. Do not venture out until entire storm has gone. Beware the "eye" of the storm. Do not use your telescopic pool pole during a storm.

'what is the effect of sea temperature on hurricane'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Why is Myanmar so susceptible to the effects of tropical cyclones?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because it is an LEDC (Less Economical Developed) so it has little money meaning any damage can't be repaired and aid can not be given quickly. There are also no precautions in place beforehand to help prevent the damage. Also because it has a military government that controls the aid being given from other counties.
