The natural disaster characterized by strong winds and heavy rain is known as a hurricane. These powerful storms form over warm ocean waters and can result in significant damage through high winds, storm surges, and torrential rain. Hurricanes are categorized by their intensity on the Saffir-Simpson scale, which measures sustained wind speeds. The aftermath can lead to devastating flooding, infrastructure damage, and loss of life, emphasizing the need for disaster preparedness and recovery strategies in affected regions. Their seasonal patterns and potential for destruction highlight the impacts of climate change on weather phenomena.
