What is a hurricane?


What is a hurricane?

A hurricane is a severe storm system with heavy rain accompanied by extremely violent winds. Several low pressure systems join together to suck up huge quantities of warm wet air that cause driving rain and thunderstorms.

As more and more air is sucked up, the winds become stronger and stronger. Hurricanes occur mostly in the tropical regions of the Atlantic Ocean. They are called typhoons in the Pacific Ocean, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean.
