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 ...
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 ...
A cluster of tropical activity has developed across the Pacific Ocean, as three features battle for dominance and hold the potential for a phenomenon called the Fujiwhara Effect to occur.
That data shows the El Reno–Piedmont tornado and a separate cyclonic tornado, originating from the same mesocyclone, rotating in a counterclockwise fashion about a single common center (in a demonstration of the Fujiwhara effect) for several minutes, before merging at approximately 4:35 p.m. [26]: 3033 The second satellite came just minutes ...
Around this time, the track of the newly named system was being affected by the stronger Fernanda to its west via Fujiwhara effect. Shortly thereafter, satellite photos showed an exposed atmospheric circulation in the northwest section of the storm with cloud cover lagging behind it, [4] and the storm was downgraded to a depression on August 8.

Hurricane Milton caused widespread flooding and left 3.3 million homes and businesses without power nearly two weeks after Hurricane Helene.
In addition, at 1700 UTC during the hurricane season, a medium-range coordination call takes place between the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center and the National Hurricane Center to coordinate tropical cyclone placement on the medium-range pressure forecasts 6 and 7 days into the future for the northeast Pacific and Atlantic basins.
