Wind shear is defined as the change in the speed and direction of the wind in both the vertical and horizontal directions, as these winds weaken and limit the vertical growth of cumulonimbus thunderclouds, that is, they hinder the process of increasing their thickness. The clouds thus become shallow and stratified and thus weaken the tropical system. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-05-12%20at%209.08.15%20PM.jpeg" style="width: 960px; height: 1200px;" /></p>
