Hurricane path prediction seems straightforward, until it is not – that’s because hurricanes can encounter atmospheric effects that turn their paths into erratic nonsense.

Does your toilet water drain differently than in the other hemisphere? Is it because of the Coriolis effect? Hank has some things to clarify about these questions, and more in this edition of I Don't Think It Means What You Think It Means.

Do you ever think of what could cause the next big extinction? How about a super massive tropical storm that sweeps over continents? Hey, it could happen! Check out this SciShow Dose to see how a hypercane would be possible.

3 Ways to Prevent Hurricanes (Maybe)

Do you ever think of what could cause the next big extinction? How about a super massive tropical storm that sweeps over continents? Hey, it could happen! Check out this SciShow Dose to see how a hypercane would be possible.

Hurricanes are just made up of clouds and wind moving in a certain pattern…so could we use a nuclear weapon to disrupt that wind enough to stop them?

Jupiter's storms cover the planet, but the ones at the planet’s poles have mystified astronomers for years: why haven’t they merged together yet?

Today we’re going to talk about two types of cyclones: mid-latitude cyclones and tropical cyclones. Mid-latitude cyclones are huge weather systems that bring day-to-day weather in the mid-latitudes. They're the reason the weather is...

This video explains the formation and characteristics of hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones or typhoons. It highlights how warm air rises, creating low pressure systems that rotate due to the Earth's spin. The video also...

Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are formed due to violent storms that originate over oceans and seas and move towards land, potentially causing extensive damage to both life and property. But there is a very interesting thing related...

Dr. Forrester explains how wind and thunderstorms drive tornadoes and hurricanes.

Hurricane Katrina describes how geography affects climate and weather by examining Hurricane Katrina as an example.

Catastrophic Events defines catastrophic events and describes examples of both natural and man-made events.

Hurricane Ian was a powerful, devastating and deadly storm, especially for Florida, in 2022. With wind over 150mph, rain over 20” in some areas, and storm surge over 12 feet, Ian impacted millions of people, while taking over 150 lives....

Hurricane Andrew was one of the few hurricanes to strike the United States as a Category 5. At the time, in 1992, it was the most expensive natural disaster in the nation's history. After devastating Homestead, Florida, and surrounding...

The Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 was the second strongest hurricane to strike Miami at that time. It was a Category 4, landing on September 18, 1926, after battering the Bahamas. The tremendous impact in Miami and South Florida was not...

A Bomb Cyclone is a middle-latitude low pressure storm system. It must have falling air pressure, measured by a barometer, losing at least 1 millibar per hour for 24 hours. When the pressure in a storm falls, the wind increases. You hear...

A Category 3 hurricane made landfall near the Mississippi-Alabama State line on July 5, 1916, with record wind and storm surge impact in Mobile, Alabama, and then inland flooding throughout several states. Newspapers reported, “The...

The Hurricane of 1900 striking Galveston, Texas, is known as the deadliest weather disaster in the United States. An estimated 8,000 people were killed by a hurricane that arrived with little notice, leaving over 10,000 people homeless,...

Learn about a meteorological phenomenon called the Fujiwara effect, which occurs when two nearby cyclones interact with each other and close the distance between their low pressure areas.

Why does this water bird go to the desert to mate? What behavior do scientist observe?<br/>
Water Birds Mating In The Desert, Part 2

The BBC reports that a new study in the journal Nature Geoscience argues that if the planet’s average temperature keeps rising, hurricanes and typhoons will start to move farther northward and southward, entering the world’s most...

Explore the fascinating and destructive phenomenon of tornadoes. From how they form to the rating scales used to measure their strength, we learn about the science behind these powerful storms. We also discuss important safety measures...
