Every year, major storms cause major problems around the world. There’s nothing people can do to stop the powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where the big ones will occur.

While we cannot prevent a storm, scientists have developed technologies that help them predict the advent of a storm. Nevertheless, there is plenty left to learn. Even when scientists can figure out where a storm is headed, winds can change at the last minute, carrying the storm in a new direction. Scientists predict hurricanes with the help of computer simulations, or models, and knowledge of the past. Scientists have been collecting data about storms for decades. They’ve noticed patterns that suggest what it takes for a strong storm to form in the first place.
