    Hurricane

    A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone that forms over tropical waters and has organized thunderstorms and rotation. It becomes a hurricane once sustained wind speeds reach 119 km/hr. Key characteristics include the eye wall with very strong winds in the center, rain bands spiraling inward, and storm rotation driven by the contrast of warm rising air in the center and cold falling air in the outer regions.

    What is a Hurricane?
    • • A hurricane is a type of storm called a tropical cyclone, which forms
    over tropical or subtropical waters.
    • • A tropical cyclone is a rotating low-pressure weather system that
    has organized thunderstorms but no fronts (a boundary separating
    two air masses of different densities).
    • • Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less
    than 39 miles per hour (mph) are called tropical depressions
    • • A tropical depression becomes a tropical storm if its winds reach 63
    km/hr (39 mph).
    • • A tropical storm becomes a hurricane if its winds reach 119 km/hr
    (74 mph).
    Points to Remember

    Hurricanes can be called as cyclones or typhoons. Scientists just call these storms
    different things depending on where they occur.
     In the Atlantic and northern Pacific, the storms are called "hurricanes," after the
    Caribbean god of evil, named Hurricanes
    In the northwestern Pacific, the same powerful storms are called "typhoons." In
    the southeastern Indian Ocean and southwestern Pacific, they are called "severe
    tropical cyclones.“
    In the northern Indian Ocean, they're called "severe cyclonic storms." In the
    southwestern Indian Ocean, they're just "tropical cyclones."
