The effect of wind speed on climate

Storms are one of the manifestations of climate change that result from the rise in temperature, scarcity of rain, the extension of desert lands, the continuous erosion of soil, and the spread of sand dunes, as strong winds carry tons of this sand from the surface of desert soil to neighboring areas such as cities and farms, causing serious damage, whether at the human health level or at the economic level
If dust storms are associated with dry and semi-dry areas, especially in the Middle East and North Africa, today, due to the above reasons, they have extended to include many countries that belong to different climatic regions, as these winds, due to their intensity, have reached the southern coast of Europe.
In addition to storms, hurricanes are one of the most important manifestations of climate change, which causes enormous losses in affected areas. Many studies indicate that climate change and the continuous rise in global temperature have contributed to increasing the intensity of tropical hurricanes, especially in areas with low atmospheric pressure, such as the coasts of North and South America, Australia, Japan, and the islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. These hurricanes are often accompanied by waves of floods, rains, and torrents that sweep away coastal areas and cause many health risks to the population as a result of flood water pollution and the spread of epidemics and viruses that have become a serious threat to various human societies.
