This is a question i need to answer in a essay I have to write. I have looked everywhere for this info but i cant find it. Anyone have any idea?
<strong>Cape Verde best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Michel Verheughe</i><br/>In a sense, all of them. You see, the Coriolis effect in the northern hemisphere makes all air mass systems to turn to the right. All hurricanes being born over the southern part of the north Atlantic move toward the US, then turn north, then east and end up like frontal lows in northern Europe.
The question then is: When does it cease to be called a hurricane? In principle, when the wind force is under that of a hurricane (Force 12 in the Beaufort scale). But when only medium low pressures in the north Atlantic, those former hurricanes are still called by their original names.
This being said, some hurricanes have been known to move across central America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Although it is not the usual path, remember that in meteorology everything is possible. Once I was on the Cape Verde islands. The first night there, it rained ... it was the first time it rained in four years!</p>
