What is a tropical cyclone?
And tropical cyclone It is an atmospheric system whose wind circulates in a cyclonic direction, that is, counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
It originates from tropical regions and can be tropical depression, tropical storm and hurricane, according to the speed of its winds.
How does the child affect the cyclone season?
Conagua agrees with the National Meteorological Organization in that it is very possible that ‘The boy’ is present for the month of May, which would cause havoc until the end of the year. If the forecast is correct, ‘El Niño’ will cause the rainy season to be much longer and for some areas it will extend until December.
The phenomenon known as El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can have a significant effect on the cyclone season in Mexico. During an El Niño event, sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean become warmer than normal, which can increase the number of tropical cyclones in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean, including Mexico.
This increase in the number of tropical cyclones can be especially noticeable in the area of the Pacific coast of Mexico, which includes the states of Guerrero, Oaxaca, Michoacan, Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit. During an episode of The boythese states may experience an increase in the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones.
On the other hand, during an episode of The girl, characterized by colder than normal sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean equatorial, a decrease in the number of tropical cyclones can be observed in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean, including Mexico.
It is important to note that the effect of ENOS in the cyclone season it can vary according to the intensity of the phenomenon and other environmental factors. Therefore, it is important that authorities and the general public are attentive to weather forecasts and alerts issued by local and national weather services during the cyclone season.
Adrian, the name of the first Atlantic cyclone
The first cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico will be called Adrián.
The following will be called: Beatriz, Calvin, Dora, Eugene, Fernanda, Greg, Hilary, Irwin, Jova, Kenneth, Lidia, Max, Norma, Otis, Pilar, Ramón, Selma, Todd, Verónica, Xina and Zelda.
Hurricanes are classified into five categories, based on the Hurricane Scale Saffir-Simpson. This scale is based on the hurricane’s wind speed and provides a general guide to the potential damage a hurricane can cause.
The hurricane categories are as follows:
Category 1: Sustained winds 74 to 95 miles per hour (119 to 153 kilometers per hour). These hurricanes generally cause minor damage to structures and trees, but can cause coastal flooding and power outages.
Category 2: Sustained winds 96 to 110 miles per hour (154 to 177 kilometers per hour). These hurricanes can cause moderate damage to structures, trees, and power lines, as well as coastal flooding.
Category 3: Sustained winds of 111 to 129 miles per hour (178 to 208 kilometers per hour). These hurricanes are considered major and can cause significant damage to structures, trees, and power lines, as well as coastal flooding.
Category 4: Sustained winds of 130 to 156 miles per hour (209 to 251 kilometers per hour). These hurricanes are considered extremely dangerous and can cause catastrophic damage to structures, trees, and power lines, as well as coastal flooding.
Category 5: Sustained winds greater than 157 miles per hour (252 kilometers per hour). These hurricanes are considered the most dangerous and can cause catastrophic damage to all types of structures, trees and power lines, as well as coastal flooding.
It is important to note that the category of a hurricane is based solely on the wind speed and does not account for other factors such as rainfall, storm surge, and storm intensity.
