The benefits of hurricanes

Hurricane Katrina

Although it is not usually said much about it, Hurricanes They are meteorological phenomena that, in reality, have two faces: one that shows its destructive force, and another, to which we do not pay much attention, which is the one that shows us a much more pleasant side of this cyclone. In fact, thanks to these phenomena, water can reach areas where rainfall is low, such as North Carolina (United States).

Discover what are the benefits of hurricanes.

Hurricanes move a lot of water

Not only do they bring torrential rains, but the wind is also strong enough to move the water from one place to another. In doing so, the precious liquid can reach areas where there is a shortage, so that even farmers can benefit from it.

They control the temperature

They stabilize the temperature from the equator to the poles (both South and Note), so they are natural climate regulators. Further, contribute to lowering the temperature in the tropics which would otherwise be higher.

They contribute to taking care of the jungles and tropical forests

And it is that these plants need high ambient humidity and abundant rainfall to continue growing. So, hurricanes help keep rainforests and tropics green, full of life.

You also have to keep in mind that the wind knocks down those sick or old trees, allowing others to take their place.

Release heat

Hurricanes originate in the tropical oceans, whose temperature is high (around 20-22ºC). When the atmospheric pressure is low, the warm sea releases steam into the atmosphere forming updrafts that rotate counterclockwise.

Hurricanes can be viewed from two very different perspectives. But, even so, they must be watched as they can cause significant damage.
