Hurricanes are the most violent atmospheric phenomena of our nature. They are a natural process for planet Earth to transport excess energy from the tropical area to colder regions. These giant eddies or spirals of clouds and strong winds reach speeds of more than 74 mph traveling over the sea surface of the ocean until they make landfall or die in colder waters.

Warm water, moist warm air, and light upper-level winds are the key ingredients to the formation of hurricanes. Hurricanes begin when masses of warm, moist air from oceans surfaces starts to rise quickly, and collide with masses of cooler air. The collision prompts the warm water vapor to condense, eventually forming storm clouds and dropping back as rain. During the condensation process, latent heat is emitted. The latent heat warms the cool air above, leading it to rise and pave the way for warmer, humid air coming from below the ocean.
