Hurricanes can get HUGE, some even 600 miles across ways and can go up to kph Usually Hurricanes last up to a week and can go up to km in an hour over open oceans or seas DID YOU KNOW? Hurricanes start in the sea, but only if the water is 26c or warmer
Tornadoes are rotating rows of air sometimes coming after a thunderstorm They pretty much destroy anything in it’s way and they can go up to 300kph!! They are formed when a nice moist air and cool, dry air meet. When they do, they make instability in the air. There is a change of wind direction and wind speed. On Tuesday there was one in Auckland. Auckland tornado
Hail is formed when rain drops are caught in an updraft of a thunderstorm. They get lifted high into the sky and they get so high that they turn into ice They start to get heavy so that’s why the fall down. The little hail pieces get lifted up again so they get bigger. Biggest Hail piece ever
Floods are caused by a couple of days of heavy rain, making the rivers overflow and the water hits the nearest town Sadly there was a flood out in Waimarama and Ocean Beach. Waimarama Flooding
Thunder and Lightning storm in New Mexico SCARY!! Thunder is a big bang noise coming from the sky on a rainy day Sometimes, if thunder is really bad, it comes into a storm with lightning. And, as you all know, it is called a thunderstorm
Lightning is a flash of light in the sky, made by a thunderstorm All the thunderstorms that produce lightning are VERY dangerous Sadly, lightning can kill and can cause injuries. Each year, lightning kills more people than a Hurricane or Tornado
