Hurricane

A hurricane is a powerful tropical storm characterized by a spinning system of clouds and intense winds that form over warm ocean waters. It features a well-defined center called the eye, surrounded by a calm area, encircled by the eyewall with the storm's strongest winds and heavy rain. Hurricanes can cause severe weather impacts, including flooding, strong winds, and storm surges. They develop when atmospheric conditions such as warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear allow the storm to grow and intensify. Tracking and understanding hurricanes are vital for preparedness and minimizing their destructive effects.
