Description

This Geo Factsheet explains the nature and causes of cyclonic storms, often referred to as “medicanes,” that affect the Mediterranean Sea and its coastal areas. It compares and contrasts medicanes with tropical cyclones to identify similarities and differences. The Factsheet considers examples of medicanes to understand the threats they can pose and their impacts on communities and economies, and it assesses how climate change (global warming) might affect future medicane risk.
