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.
The Fujiwhara effect – which describes the rotation of two storms around each other – is one of meteorology's most exquisite dances. It's most common with tropical cyclones such as typhoons or ...
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 ...

Where an extratropical cyclone encounters another extratropical cyclone (or almost any other kind of cyclonic vortex in the atmosphere), the two may combine to become a binary cyclone, where the vortices of the two cyclones rotate around each other (known as the "Fujiwhara effect").
Maring began to interact with Tropical Depression 13W north of it and a small high-pressure in the middle of the two storms, exhibiting a Fujiwhara Effect. [5] On August 18, 12W strengthened into a tropical storm, which JMA identified it as Trami , while steadily tracking generally eastwards.
The rare occurrence, known as the Fujiwhara effect, intensified winds as the low-pressure areas danced around each other. ... or a “bomb cyclone,” which indicates a rapid drop in pressure.
The JTWC originally anticipated a fujiwhara effect of Nanmadol on Talas, a weaker tropical cyclone to the east of Nanmadol. [11] However, the two cyclones moved far away from each other with at least a 1,000 nautical miles (1,900 km; 1,200 mi) of distance between them.
