Why Hurricanes Hardly Ever Hit Europe

- Hurricane season can be a frightening time for people on and near the east coast of the United States. But in Europe, it's a different story. Europe rarely ever sees full-on hurricanes reach its shores. But that may not always be the case.

Why Hurricanes Hardly Ever Hit Europe
------------------------------------------------------
Following is a transcript of the video:
You don't have to live far inland to avoid hurricanes. Just move to Europe. It rarely sees full-on hurricanes. But that may soon change. Following is a transcript of the video.
Europe hasn't had a hurricane reach its shore in over 50 years. Now don't get the wrong idea. Hurricane season still brings a hefty dose of wind and rain. But Europe has something that North America doesn't, when it comes to protection against hurricanes. Location.
Hurricanes usually form off the coast of West Africa, where warm water near the Equator and high humidity create columns of rapidly rising rotating air. It's the perfect recipe for a storm. Now the more warm, moist air that the system picks up, the stronger it becomes. That's why a tropical storms can quickly grow into a full on hurricane as it marches across the Atlantic. Now normally hurricanes are propelled on a westward track by the trade winds, caused by the Earth's rotation. That's why Europe as well as the West Coast of the US, rarely experience full on hurricanes. But that's not the whole story.
After all, since the year 2000, remnants of around 30 hurricanes have reached Europe. For comparison, Florida has seen 79 real hurricanes over the same time frame. By the time these remnants make landfall, they've went from a hurricane force, to a tropical storm or weaker. And that's where Europe's location comes into play. In order for a hurricane to head towards Europe, something crucial has to happen. It has to travel really far North by about 200 miles. Once a storm system reaches 30 degrees north, it encounters the subtropical jet stream. Which moves in the opposite direction of the trade winds. And therefore, blows the storm East But because the storm is now farther North, the waters underneath are colder by up to about five to 10 degrees Celsius. Which means less energy available to feed the storm. And as a result, it starts to die down by the time it's headed for Europe. Even though it's no longer a hurricane, it still packs a punch when it hits shore. In fact, most of these hurricane remnants will combine with other nearby cyclones and weather fronts, that create high winds and rain that mainly hit Ireland and Great Britain. But have been known to reach as far as Greece or even farther in Northern Russia. Typical damages include power outages, flooding, and occasionally casualties. Most recently the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia made landfall in Ireland and Scotland in 2017. About 50,000 households in Northern Ireland lost power. Three deaths were reported and downed trees closed many of the public roads and highways. This was the worst storm that Ireland had seen in 50 years. And it may be a sign of what's to come.
As global surface temperatures rise, it will also increase the sea surface temperatures in the Northern Atlantic. Which researchers estimate could contribute to an increase in the number of hurricane force storms that reach Europe. Some experts predict that by the end of the 21st century, Europe could experience, on average, 13 powerful storms each year during hurricane season. Compared to the two per year it sees now. - Наука та технологія

If this vid is about europe can you use km and miles not only miles.
@Colin SINGSON [09M1] Still makes little sense that a science channel catering to an international audience wouldn't use metric units, regardless of the content. Metric is overwhelmingly used in science, and Americans already have tenuous grasp of this system partly because everybody including this channel, keeps catering to their ignorance of the system, rather than just putting it out there. I do see more and more using metric, though, so that's good.
Again forgetting about the UK I see😂
UK uses miles as well
@@George-li1yv And UK is on its way out of Europe in what's known as the economic and political suicide called Brexit, which is much due to their ingrained, infantile refusal to conform to anyone else, such as using kilometres when everyone else uses them, or accepting common regulatory standards of the EU single market.
Give it a couple of years and they'll come crawling back to both kilometres and the Euro, as they realise they have in fact not been screwed over, but been given special treatment this whole entire time.
Julian Nikolay Krogh-Fredriksen You're very misinformed.
Because our houses are built with bricks and mortar. So any hurricane knows there's no point
Very good point :))
True!! North American cardboard houses are a more affordable target
I'll never understand why so much of American housing is made of wood and chipboard, in states that are so vulnerable to hurricanes too?
Halapecia shaniqua because it's probably cheaper
Brick and mortar won't stop a hurricane genius....give those likes back.
Meanwhile in the Philippines:
2-3 typhoons at once
I never felt heat like it before Ophelia hit Ireland at that time of the year in 2017. Tropical stroms usually just come with heavy winds and rain but that storm was very different.
Because Europe uses newton meters and kilometers per hour not some foot pounds or miles per hour (except UK)
No we don't use Newton meters
we use Joule
Which country?
1 feet equals 2 foot
*most countries in Europe* the u.k does not use metric (generally)
We do more and more. Some people use imperial for some things.

that’s because, unlike every country there, there is almost no way for a hurricane to hit russia, even if it could, it wouldn’t do much damage, it would of already weakened having to go through the rest of south eastern europe,(as the mediterranean is the only one I could see ever actually supporting a hurricane that would come close to russia) and russia itself is pretty poor, not the giant million dollar buildings you see all over west europe, russia’s buildings do get pretty expensive...in moskva and perhaps a few other places i’m unaware of, also, if a hurricane hit russia, putin would use his soviet magic and make it attack all of west europe and north america

1:26 please dont be fooled, there are a lot of mistakes and/or lies on this video, the actual distance for the hurricanes distance to traverse from Africa to Europe is actually 3822 miles not 200
200 miles to reach the sub tropical winds that then push the storm eastwards..
Edward Malone the picture he showed was a dotted line from the Coast of Africa to Europe, not a dotted line from the Coast of Africa to the sub tropic winds, if he was talking about what you said he was then he would of actually said it and showed a picture for it but he didn't so I would infer that he didn't actually know what he was talking about because he didn't explain it well or show a good picture for it
(I'm talking about the picture in the video, you are talking about a completely different subject about real events, I'm talking about the video, please pay attention)
edit: I just researched where the sub-tropic winds are, they definitely aren't 200 miles north off the coast, more like 800, the sub-tropic winds are roughly in the same latitude as The Rock of Gibraltar, it might be 200 miles to the tropics of Cancer though
which is larger than 2 football fields

Totinen Tonttu Before saying „Everywhere in the world“, please search about the North-African Slave Route, where millions of europeans were enslaved in northern Africa. Also, you don't know because your ancestors weren't brutally killed by the ottomans. They didn't allow the people of the balkan peninsula any religious freedom. Either were you a muslim ( and didn't pay taxes ), or stay christian or jewish ( and pay taxes ). They took the young boys and made them be in the army. People would cut their young sons' fingers so the government wouldn't take them, because they were useless. Please, please... The Balkan people are nowadays in good relations with the people whose grandparents did those things. The history is finished, let's write the future, but this time without any hate or discrimination... Sorry for the mistakes in the writing! ❤️🇲🇰❤️🇪🇺❤️🗺❤️

Hurricane Ophelia:hold my beer
I'm gonna subscribe just because I feel nice
(And I like Rosalina)
Funny thing is it wasn't even that bad it only affected a few miles in from the coast. I've seen stronger winds before, there was the tail end of a storm here a week ago and it had more severe gusts than Ophelia
Actually it was a Extratropical according to the NHC
That was a tropical storm when it hit Europe, but as a resident of a city in the west of Ireland which was hit the hardest, it sure was an extremely strong wind storm
Storm Ophelia* I’m from Ireland and it was literally just very windy , the only people that died were very unlucky and (one died 5 minutes away from where I live) died to trees falling on them. So definitely no hurricane at least
Nice update for 2019
A few i can name in the last 15 years. Vince hit Portual as a TD...Ophilia was barely EX when it hit Ireland, It also increased Portugal's Fire's....Lorenzo leftovers went to Ireland/GB/UK...Then there's Leslie after weakening as a tropical system, it strengthened when it became EX-Leslie & hit Portugal & Spain as an EX with Cat 1 winds...Though small Pablo hit Ireland/GB/UK. 7years before Ophilia the leftovers of Michael hit the same area....as for the SW US..The closest i seen was Linda unless they hold together when they come up the bay between Baja & MX. They either hit AZ or NM from there
How is that distance 200 miles? Add a zero and you might be closer 😂
Kristian i know i though exactly that he says “by about 200 miles” and it’s so much more
Whats ridiculous about all this is he keeps going back and forth on using Standard Measurements and Metric Measurements.
"Standard measurements and Metric measurements"
My dude, I have some bad news for you. The waste majority of the planet is using the metric system over the imperial, so can't really call the imperial system the standard.
Also those 200 miles might be metric miles, so 2'000 km. Sure almost no one seems to be using the metric mile outside of Sweden as far as I've seen, but it is still a thing.
@Cain Lolsson Schools teach us here that it's called the Standard Measurement, although i agree with you and im sure it's strange as hell for you guys seeing us using mph, acres, pints, quarts and gallons, usually when someone calls it the Imperial System, they're usually foreigners, no one here calls it the Imperial, infact tool kits even say "Standard and Metric tool set" when buying one. i'll be honest, i can't orientate myself when someone says 1km, or 5cm, or 32C degrees, have to convert it to Standard to know what it's even all about, it's pretty bad.

To be completely honest, that storm did frighten me a little- trees were down, some buildings were faintly damaged.
One came very close to Ireland a few years back, but it weakened into a extratropical storm due to the cool ocean surface temperatures.
Now that was down right interesting!
I remember some years back, a typhoon developed near Micronesia, almost hitting the Philippines, moved near Taiwan, travelled north to Japan, turned into a subtropical cyclone in the Siberian Coast, moved east onto the Alaskan Coast, and made landfall into Northern Canada and moved south in the Coastal Rockies bringing torrential rainfall/ice.
It was an Extratropical cyclone at that point, not really surprising

Because Europe is the best place to live on earth
@@Mo-wv4ru good luck with that $150,000 hospital bill then sweetie
Where do you live Mo? Lmao
cirrus don’t mind him. US education is even a bigger joke than their heath care.
Why do Europeans always act like Europe is great,? There’s no freedom at all... government’s involved in everything
@@jfpost Because life in Europe is better than in the US. We have free education, free health care and all other privileges. You might wanna check the best countries to live in, and the happiest countries according to studies and surveys. All of the top ones (top 10) are European. And most important of all, we are not brainwashed by our media.

Yoooo Dorian's rain was juicy, Greetings from The Netherlands
Meanwhile, Philippines get between 20-25 typhoons a year ✌
That was not 200 miles more like 2000
The real question is, why are you making turkey europe (which only 5% actually is while the rest is Asia) and not Russia at all?
Because of “Treaty of Paris” 1856
because heavy european influence on the culture of the turks since the ottoman empire... it was common that some turkish (ottoman) women married german aristocrats, and it isn't a secret that there was an existing cultural experienice between the preußisches Reich and Ottoman Empire.... after calling Turkey... there was a heavy french influence in the turkish language, culture and fashion... still western culture is influencing turkish culture more and more... thats why Turkey is cultural as european as any other south european balkan states or russia... its like the european country bosnia herzogovina (the majority is muslim but still european) its the same with Turkey the majority is muslim but they are a european/western thinking society mostly
@Illuminati well Israel and New Zealand attempt on Eurovision Song Contest made by European Countries FOR European Countries... don't blame me XD

@@mirellesahin5003 This is how I know you know jackshit about Asia lol middle east countries ARE in Western Asia and so is Turkey.
Hurricane Lorenzo:
IGHT IMMA HEAD OUT
Don't worry folks, Trump has talked about nuking hurricanes. That will show mother nature who's boss.
If je nukes them, nothing Will happend. Hurricans are huge storm so damage Will be small. Second Europe wouldn't let that happend cuz of radiation and explosion would kill thousands od animals and imagine dropping luke 40 nukes at year. That would totally destroy air, animals and ocean...

@Fmono • 38 years ago • Updated well yes... But actually no
Fmono • 38 years ago • Updated Ouch.... Central America
google,whats the weather?
@Fmono • 38 years ago • Updated If you actually travel outside the US you would know America = North and South America. US is US.
I like how a few days after this video was uploaded a Category 1 hurricane made landfall in Portugal xD
Leslie (2018) was predicted to make landfall in the south of Portugal as a category 1 hurricane, but in last few hours deviated towards north and finally made landfall in the north of Portugal as a tropical storm. However, Ophelia (2017) provoked unprecedented wildfires which killed 47 people, without even making landfall in the country. It is appaling the ignorance in respect of the worst portuguese natural disaster in the last 50 years.
Bro have u ever been in ireland.. we have lorenzo coming tommorow
I guess we are pretty lucky to be where we are. Yeah, we get heavy rain which causes flooding but it could be a lot worse
Including Turkey but not Russia in your map of Europe seems rather strange, apart from that very interesting video
There is kaliningrad in Map so Russia here but they make Greece has European part of Turkey . Amateurs
Europe has some weird borders. Look at America, it is just straight paralel lines.
@@galadhremmin Europe's borders are naturally forming borders based on geography and cultural and political divides throughout history.
The US's borders are artificial straight-lined borders made more recently, you see the same in borders the Middle East and parts of Africa from during Colonial times.
It's fine for the US (being 1 single country) but nonsense straight-line borders make no sense for dividing countries and cause all sorts of strife within and between said countries.
Turkey is not part of Europe dumbass
@@hhhhergc224 yes it is
