ResponderEliminarAnswering your question, cyclogenesis is the development or strengthening of cyclonic circulation in the atmosphere (a low pressure area).
ResponderEliminarThe heavy rains over London have been the cause of all the floods the River Thames has produced and which are causing loads of problems in the sout-west of England. More than 150 people have been to be rescued by fire crews from their homes because of the depth of the waters. Another big effect has been in the Berkshire village of Datchet, where houses, shops, and businesses are underwater.
Recently the northern of Spain has had similar problems. The huge waves, some of which were eleven metres high, and the winds of 100 km per hour in Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country have caused problems like the break of some roads, even, a teenager was swept away by the waves.
Finally, I think floods are very dangerous, and even if we think we are right, we just have to obey what the people who deal with this type of things advise.

Cyclogenesis is similar to a cyclon. It produces strong winds and enormous waver. In the North of Spain there had been many, and, here, in Salobreña, there had been some too. The floods in the North are spectacular!!

Cyclogenesis, is the process of extratropical cyclone development and intensification. Cyclogenesis is initiated by a disturbance occurring along a stationary or very slow-moving front between cold and warm air. This disturbance distorts the front into the wave like configuration.
ResponderEliminarRecently, the last January there was a cyclogenesis near the North Sea that affected the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. This cyclogenesis caused winds of 100 kilometers per hour and also caused descend of temperatures in the majority of the Iberian Peninsula.
I think the floods that produced the cyclogenesis are very dangerous because they can break houses, buildings, palms and even they can catch people who walk near the coast.
