Can you tell me what state has the least amount of severe weather and has a mild to warm climate?

Asked by Heather Ford-Chatterton about 11 years ago

Usually the warmer the climate, the more prone the area is to thunderstorms. If you don't mind extreme heat you might try Arizona or New Mexico. If you don't mind it a little cooler you might like Washington or Oregon. Thanks, Heather.

Why is it critical that all levels bliw in the same direction to form a tropical storm? Nd what happens when u have lowwe winds blowing a different than upper winds

Asked by Patricia over 10 years ago

If the wind changes direction with height it creates more friction, drag and chaos that impedes the development of the storm. Great question!

What causes a severe thunderstorm to roar like a jet plane hovering overhead... even after the worst of it has passed through.

Asked by ShannyM over 10 years ago

Great question. Lightning creates thunder and the sound will travel, sometimes about 15 miles. So you will hear the rumble as the storm continues away from your location. A single bolt can travel a long way so your are hearing the thunder as it reaches you from each point along the bolt.

How do scientist know that climate change is largely caused by human activities?

Asked by art rodriguez about 11 years ago

"Climate" is much different than "weather". Not really my area.

Hello I would like to move to Florida when I retire but I am concerned about hurricanes, my question, is their a city in florida that would less likely to get hit by a hurricane? I have been told to choose somewere that's located away from the coast,

Asked by Louie over 7 years ago

Great question, Louie. If you do a Google Image search for landfalling Florida hurricanes you'll let a lot of information. Here is a Wikipedia page that has great information. Just know that the speed and angle of approach makes a difference. For example a hurricane hitting Miami moving from east to west is a different outcome than one moving south to north. You might also poke around on the website for the National Hurricane Center. Happy retirement! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Florida_hurricanes and https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

If you were to move to a new city, what weather-related datapoints would matter to you?

Asked by Steven about 10 years ago

Hi Steven-If I understand the question you might try weather.gov. Click on the map for the region you are interested in. Each NWS office will have a link to local climate on the left nav bar. Weather Underground has good information for cities, or do a Google search for (city) climatology. Thanks!

I love photographing lightning. It's my big Hobby. This storm was insane. Lightning never stopped, & never made a sound. Here's a link to my YouTube video of it. Can you explain to me why this was? https://youtu.be/rZRjRolyxLg

Asked by Victoria about 10 years ago

Great video, very active storm. Thunder travels only about 15 miles on average so these storms were too far away to hear anything. Great stuff!
