A tropical storm can be defined as a meteorological phenomenon in which there is the presence of strong gusts of wind and abundant rainfall. These are called tropical storms since their formation usually occurs in the regions adjacent to the tropics of the earth. These are characterized by being cyclonic storms, that is, the wind moves in a circular way and it recharges with energy when there is condensation of humid air. In the southern region of the planet, tropical storms rotate clockwise and in the northern hemisphereit does it in the opposite way. For a storm to be classified as tropical it is necessary for it to have winds ranging between 60 and 118 kilometers per hour for at least one minute.
Apart from the high speeds and strength of its winds, a tropical storm is also characterized by low atmospheric pressure and by being a closed wind circuit where both precipitation and wind move, it can be called in different ways depending on the region, since for example in some places it is known as a typhoon, while in others it is called a hurricane or cyclone. Usually more tropical storms were recognized level world are those that form in the Caribbean region.
Over the years, meteorologists have taken on the task of developing a kind of annual pattern, in which they indicate the approximate dates on which this type of phenomenon could occur. It indicates that in the regions of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, tropical storms can start from June 1 to November 30 of each year, this is because during the summer the water heats up. Despite this, it does not mean that storms can form throughout the year. The Asian continent is the one that is generally most affected by rainfall caused by tropical storms, since they can cause the land of the mountains to slide, as well as can generate large floods.
