Why is it advisable not to shut all the doors and windowsduring a storm?

As we know that the storm is simply accompanied by strong winds(high speed) and as we know that the high-speed winds have low pressure , so if we close all the doors and windows when a storm occurs then the pressure inside the house will remain the same as before(high pressure than storm) but due to storm the pressure outside the house has changed and has lowered on the roof of the house, so the pressure difference created will try to neutralize by taking off the roof of the house, so that is why we should not close all the doors and windows when a storm comes.

The instrument that measures the wind speed is called an ____________ .

An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed and direction. It is also a common weather station instrument. The term is derived from the Greek word 'anemos', which means wind, and is used to describe any wind speed instrument used in meteorology.

Safety Measures Against Cyclones and Thunderstorms

Q: Fill in the blank.A Cyclone alert or cyclone watch is issued_____hours in advance of any expected storm and a Cyclone warning is issued ______hrs in advance.

A Cyclone alert or Cyclone watch is issued 48 hours in advance of any expected storm and a Cyclone warning is issued 24 hrs in advance.

Q: How has advanced technology helped to prepare better for the Cyclone ?

The advanced technologies, satellites and radars help us by giving a Cyclone alert, \\(48 \ hrs\\) in advance of any expected storm and a Cyclone warning is issued \\(24 \ hrs\\) in advance. The message is broadcasted every hour or every half an hour when a cyclone is nearer the coast.Hence both options A and B are correct

Safety Measures to Avoid Destruction Through Cyclones

Effective Safety Measures:

A cyclone forecast and warning service.
Rapid communication of warnings to the Government agencies, the ports,fishermen, ships and to the general public.
Construction of cyclone shelters in the cyclone prone areas, and Administrative arrangements for moving people fast to safer places.
We should not ignore the warnings issued by the meteorological department through TV, radio, or newspapers.
We should make necessary arrangements to shift the essential household goods, domestic animals and vehicles, etc. to safer places; avoid driving on roads through standing water, as floods may have damaged the roads; and keep ready the phone numbers of all emergency services like police, fire brigade, and medical centres.

Cyclone Alert, Watch and Warning

These days we are better protected. In the early part of the last century, coastal residents may have had less than a day to prepare or evacuate their homes from an oncoming cyclone.
The world today is very different.Thanks to satellites and radars, a Cyclone alert or Cyclone watch is watch issued 48 hours in advance of any expected storm and a Cyclone warning is issued 24 hrs in advance.
The message is broadcast every hour or half hour when a cyclone is nearer the coast.Several national and international organisations cooperate to monitor the cyclone-related disasters.
