What is a hurricane?
The hurricane is the severest of weather phenomena known as tropical cyclones. These are low pressure systems and electrical activity rainy whose winds rotate antihorariamente(= against clockwise) in the northern hemisphere. A tropical cyclone with winds less than or equal to 62 km / h is called a tropical depression. When winds reach speeds of 63 to 117 km / h is called atropical storm, exceeding the 118 km / h, the tropical storm becomes a hurricane.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION: Tropical cyclone in which the maximum mean wind at the sea surface (average speed in a minute)is 62 km / h or less.
TROPICAL STORM: well-organized tropical cyclone warm core in which the maximum mean wind at the sea surface (average speed in a minute) is 63 to 117 km / h.
Hurricane: Awarm-core tropical cyclone in which the average maximum wind at sea level (average speed in a minute) is 118 km / h or higher.
