Arab weather - Hurricanes are a natural phenomenon that sweeps certain regions of the world and at certain times of the year as well, affecting areas near the oceans and near the low and subtropical latitudes.

 

Where do hurricanes form?

Cyclones form over warm warm waters that have temperatures above 26 ° C and above. These hurricanes may reach higher latitudes "areas beyond the equator", including the Arabian Sea, which is part of the Indian Ocean.

 

 

How are hurricanes named?

 

  • The hurricane label has gone through several phases since Australian meteorologist Clement Raj (1852-1922) created the "systemic naming" of hurricanes, to avoid confusion and confusion in people, especially in some areas where tropical cyclones abound.
  • There was no mechanism or methodology for naming hurricanes in the past. Hurricanes were called either by the names of some saints such as Hurricane Hercules, St. Paul, Hurricane St. Louis and Hurricane Santa Maria, or by the names of the years they occurred, such as Hurricane 1898. Hurricane 1906, or where it happened as Hurricane Miami and Hurricane Houston, or by region such as "Hurricane Galveston."
  • Clement Raj was the first to organize the naming process. Hurricanes were called the names of parliamentarians who refused to vote for loans to finance meteorological research, and sometimes hurricanes were called the names of the women they hated.
  • During World War II, the US armed forces named hurricanes. The US Air Force and Navy were closely monitoring hurricanes in the Pacific Northwest and to prevent multiple names and differences, military meteorologists called hurricanes the names of their wives or friends.
  • In 1953, the US Weather Administration decided to adopt hurricane names for women in alphabetical order, with the exception of letters (Q, U, XY & Z).
  • Male names were introduced to the hurricane designation in 1978, with the method being named: In the years ending with an even number, the name begins with a masculine name. In the years that end with a single number, the beginning is in the name of Month.
  • The names agreed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) are divided into six lists, each with 21 names that will be repeated six years after their use. The rule excludes hurricane names that have caused significant damage such as Catherina and Rita.

 

Naming hurricanes in countries of East Asia and the Arabian Sea

  • East Asian countries chose to stay away from American names, starting to call their own hurricanes, and abolishing imported names from America, such as Ted and Frankie, American names given to Asian cyclones on the pretext that they do not understand their people. Humanity, such as Typhoon Damri, means "elephant" in Cambodian, and Typhoon Kirouji, the name of a rare species of wild duck in North Korea.
  • Cyclones formed in the North Indian Ocean are also designated by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center based in New Delhi, India on behalf of the member countries of the International Meteorological Organization (ECO) of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
  • The last hurricane formed in the Arabian Sea, the "Indian Ocean," was originally named Burmese origin, meaning tiger or tiger. In the urban dictionary, the word cyar is a term used by pirates for greeting or peace.
