Wind Storm

Cyclone Dana hit the Odisha coast today, uprooting trees, snapping power lines in several areas and killing a person in West Bengal. The storm made landfall between Bhitarkanika and Dhamra with wind speeds of 100-110 kmph.

Heavy rains and gusty winds battered southern West Bengal on Thursday as the state administration evacuated over 2.5 lakh people to safety in anticipation of the impending severe cyclonic storm 'Dana,' set to make landfall in Odisha after midnight.

"Dana" is likely to cross north Odisha and West Bengal coasts as a severe cyclonic storm with a wind speed of 100-110 kmph gusting 120 kmph.

Hurricane Milton: The storm made landfall on Florida's west coast on Wednesday night as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale, bringing maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (205 kph).

Hurricane Milton blasted ashore in Florida Wednesday night with furious winds, life-threatening rain and storm surge, as people who endured another hurricane just two weeks ago braced for a long, violent night.

Hurricanes derive their strength from warm ocean waters, with current theoretical wind speed limits around 200 mph. However, as global temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, experts predict hurricanes could intensify even further. This increase in ocean heat may push the limits, potentially resulting in stronger storms with winds exce...

Hurricane Milton, the Category 4 storm headed toward the southeastern United States, could be the worst to hit Florida in a century, US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday.

Weather-weary Florida girded Tuesday for a hit from Hurricane Milton, a monster storm packing furious winds and the threat of walls of water gushing inland.

Parts of Florida face "unsurvivable" conditions when Hurricane Helene hits later Thursday, the US weather service said, warning that howling wind will drive destructive waves and storm surge as high as 20 feet (six meters) onto the low-lying coast.

Heavy showers, accompanied by hail, are forecast for parts of Wales and southern England, with the possibility of significant rainfall.

The strongest storm to hit Shanghai in over 70 years made landfall on Monday, with flights cancelled and highways closed as Typhoon Bebinca lashed the city with strong winds and torrential rains.

Auroras are expected to be more intense around September's equinox due to the Russell-McPherron Effect. The phenomenon occurs when Earth's magnetic field temporarily aligns with the solar wind, allowing charged particles to penetrate and interact with our atmosphere. This interaction causes vibrant Northern Lights, especially during the equinox. Wi...

Japan braced Wednesday for its strongest typhoon of the year, with authorities advising tens of thousands of people to evacuate and issuing the highest warning level for wind and storm surges on the main southern island of Kyushu.

By 11 p.m. EDT (0300 GMT) on Sunday, the hurricane had sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph), growing from a slow moving tropical storm that gained strength from warm Gulf waters. It will likely just get stronger.

When Hurricane Beryl hit the Grenadine Islands on July 1, its 150-mph winds and awesome storm surge made it the earliest category 5 storm (the most destructive grade on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale) the tropical Atlantic has seen.
