Typhoon Parma (left) and Melor (right) interacting with each other in the Philippine Sea on October 6, 2009.. The Fujiwhara effect, sometimes referred to as the Fujiwara effect, Fujiw(h)ara interaction or binary interaction, is a phenomenon that occurs when two nearby cyclonic vortices move around each other and close the distance between the circulations of their corresponding low-pressure areas.
An example of the Fujiwhara effect occurred in 1974, when Hurricanes Ione and Kirsten spun about each other in the eastern Pacific. This satellite image shows Ione on the left and Kirsten on the ...
When two hurricanes collide, the phenomenon is called the Fujiwhara effect. If two cyclones pass within 900 miles of each other, they can start to orbit. If the two storms get to within 190 miles ...
The Fujiwhara effect – which describes the rotation of two storms around each other – is one of meteorology's most exquisite dances. ... “This is expected to be a large hurricane with a ...
The storm interacted with Hurricane Connie to its northwest in a process known as the Fujiwhara effect, in which Diane turned toward the north. Quick intensification ensued, potentially due to interaction with a cold-core low that increased atmospheric instability. [2] On August 12, the storm rapidly intensified into a hurricane. [3]
Much of the East Coast of the United States, in Mid-Atlantic and New England regions, had a good chance of receiving gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and possibly snow early in the week of October 28 from an unusual hybrid of Hurricane Sandy and a winter storm producing a Fujiwhara effect.

The total of named storms was above the 1991–2020 average, while the number of hurricanes was average, and the sum of major hurricanes was below average. [24] The official start date was preceded by the formation of Tropical Storm Andres, the earliest named storm on record in the East Pacific. [ 25 ]
Fujiwhara effect. On Tuesday afternoon, as the storm approached the Bay Area, the system developed two "eyes," or areas of low pressure, resulting in a "doubled-barreled blow" to San Francisco and ...
