But have you ever wondered whether there could be some science hidden behind this saying, or is it just a saying. Let us know…
There is science behind the proverb
The Hindi proverb- ‘The calm before the storm’ is not just a proverb. There is strong science hidden behind this. This is the science of wind pressure, due to which there is silence before the arrival of any storm. However, science also says that this pattern is not followed in every storm. This means that it is not necessary that every time there is silence before the storm.
What is the science related to winds?
There can be many reasons for the calm before the storm. The first reason for this is the condition of the winds. Actually, before the storm, the wind speed decreases and their position changes. Any storm needs warm, moist air as fuel. In such a situation, these storms pull warm, moist air through the clouds from the surrounding atmosphere, even from the direction in which the storm is moving. These winds create a low pressure area behind them. And when these winds descend downwards, they become hot and dry and cover the surrounding area, and also stabilize the winds, due to which silence is felt.
change in cloud movement
Before the storm, there is a change in the movement of the clouds, their speed changes and the clouds cover most of the sky, due to which the sound changes and we feel silence.
