Arab Weather - Meteorologist Khaled Al-Zaaq said that a hurricane is a low pressure area that usually forms deep in the ocean. He explained that this decrease leads to air molecules being attracted from all directions to fill the vacuum, resulting in a collision.

Al-Zaaq pointed out during his talk on the “Taqeem” program that the hurricane is characterized by strong winds accompanied by heavy rains. He explained that hurricanes only form if three elements are present: the incubator, the pressure drop, and then the movement. He added that the incubator is the ocean, as hurricanes only form in the oceans. Due to the presence of high air humidity and constant hydrothermal heat, unlike seas such as the Red Sea or gulfs such as the Arabian Gulf.
