Get the early-stage fascism mug.An extremely rare hybrid low-pressure system that occurs in the mid-latitude Mediterranean Sea. Medicanes are similar in virtue to a tropical cyclone but have the characteristics of a mid-latitude storm. Medicanes possess a warmer core than most Mediterranean low-pressure systems. Typically the cooler waters of the Mediterranean don't have warm enough water to generate the energy necessary to fuel tropical waves and related thunderstorms that spawn a tropical cyclone. Medicanes have the potential for tropical-storm-force winds, heavy rainfall, and coastal flooding .
Rare storms like a Medicane may become more common if climate change makes the Mediterranean Sea warmer.
