A Hurricane is a severe, swirling storm that usually forms over warm water. They can produce gusts 119 kilometers per hour (74mp) or higher. Wow! that is speedier than a cheetah! who would’ve thought that there is something that is actually faster than the quickest land animal on earth? gusts produced by hurricanes can cause severe damage to forests, as well as turn cities, landmarks and houses into ruins. Hurricanes do form over warm, tropical waters and normally make their way onto land. When a hurricane reaches land it thrusts large walls of ocean water to our shores. Hammerings of rain and striking storms can stem from hurricanes, causing double trouble for you, me and our wildlife.
Don’t be afraid though, professors, scientists and meteorologists alike can track when and where hurricanes are using a modern piece of technology known commonly as the radar. There are many different types of radars, but the one used for situations including tracking threatening storms, is the weather radar. Users can track the position and intensity of a hurricane, and it can be used to discern cloud top heights, which is an additional useful measure for overall storm strength. Not commonly, tornadoes and hurricanes alike can be detected by the shape of an echo, and Doppler radar can discover wind shear that is normally linked with hefty wind conditions. meteorologists can only detect hurricanes once or after their formation, which usually takes place near warm waters.
Another way that meteorologists predict when hurricanes are on the way, is observing colder weather in different seasons. If the current climate is cold and it is Autumn, the chances are that a large storm is creeping along the way to your neighbourhood, but often these hurricanes can turn out to be just little tornadoes formed by a combination of cold and warm gusts. But a meteorologist can definitely detect a hurricane by observing seasonal weather, you just have to listen to what he or she says about the strength of it, if it’s minor, then don’t worry, you’ll survive.
A meteorologist can not truly predict a hurricane without technological equpment unless he or she could see into the future, but we should be thankful that they can even track where hurricanes are, weather it’s by observing seasonal weather or using a climate/weather radar. One very important thing to remember is to always have a pile of clothes, canned food and safety supplies/equipment prepared with you in case of a real emergency, you won’t be sorry.
