This is due to increasing Coriolis force closer to the poles, and which is zero at the equator. [2] [3] [4] One associated phenomenon often seen with low-latitude cyclones is the equatorial westerly wind burst, which allows for sufficient shear vorticity on both sides of the equator to support tropical cyclogenesis.

Hurricane Alice is the only known Atlantic hurricane to span two calendar years, and one of only two named tropical cyclones to do so in the North Atlantic basin. This image of the PPI scope of SPS-6 radar on the USS MIDWAY shows the rare January hurricane northeast of British Virgin Islands .

A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a warm-cored, non-frontal synoptic-scale low-pressure system over tropical or subtropical waters around the world. [4] [5] The systems generally have a well-defined center which is surrounded by deep atmospheric convection and a closed wind circulation at the surface. [4]
The claim: Video shows Hurricane Helene in Florida A Sept. 26 Instagram post ( direct link , archive link ) shows an array of storm footage that includes tornadoes, large waves and whipping winds ...
The National Hurricane Center’s forecast map Thursday showed five separate lemon-yellow circles for potential storm formation. But none of those storms listed a development potential over 30% ...
Tropical cyclone observation has been carried out over the past couple of centuries in various ways. The passage of typhoons, hurricanes, as well as other tropical cyclones have been detected by word of mouth from sailors recently coming to port or by radio transmissions from ships at sea, from sediment deposits in near shore estuaries, to the wiping out of cities near the coastline.
A hurricane is a sort of atmospheric engine, spinning about its axis—counterclockwise north of the equator, clockwise south of the equator—thanks to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the ...
