The Fujiwhara effect is a phenomenon that occurs when two nearby tropical cyclones, such as hurricanes or typhoons, interact with each other. Named after the Japanese meteorologist Sakuhei Fujiwhara, who first described the effect in the early 20th century, it involves a mutual gravitational attraction between the two storms. When the cyclones are close enough, they can influence each other's paths and intensities.
