The tropical close is the time when the last tropical storm of the season has dissipated. In the Northern Hemisphere, this typically occurs in late October or early November. In the Southern Hemisphere, it generally occurs in late April or early May.
As the sun sets in the tropics, so does the chance for tropical storms. The National Hurricane Center defines “tropical cyclone formation chance” as the probability that a tropical cyclone will form in a specified area during a specified time period. This is generally expressed as a percent.
For example, if there is a 60% chance of tropical cyclone formation within 48 hours, it means that 60 out of 100 similar events would produce at least one tropical cyclone within 48 hours.

Tropical Hours
Tropical hours are a measure of time used in tropical countries. The tropics are the region of the Earth between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This corresponds to latitudes 23.5° north and south of the equator.
Tropical hours are shorter than solar hours, because the sun is overhead for a longer period each day near the equator than it is at higher latitudes.
The length of a tropical hour varies depending on latitude, but is always less than 60 minutes (1 hour). At 0° latitude (the equator), a tropical hour is exactly 60 minutes long.
As you move away from the equator, toward either pole, the length of a tropical hour decreases. At 23.5° latitude (the Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn), a tropical hour is 58 minutes long.
Why use tropical hours?
In general, solar time (using solar noon as 12:00pm) works well enough for most purposes. However, there are some activities that are better suited to using tropical hours. For example, farmers in tropical countries often plant their crops based on the position of the sun, rather than using a clock or calendar.

Which Tropical Smoothie is the Healthiest?
When it comes to choosing a healthy tropical smoothie, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, aim for a smoothie that is mostly fruit-based, with a limited amount of added sugar. Second, make sure your smoothie contains plenty of fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables – the more colorful the better!
And lastly, consider adding some healthy fats or protein to your smoothie to help keep you feeling satisfied.
With these guidelines in mind, let’s take a look at three popular tropical smoothies and see how they stack up.
Tropical Sunrise Smoothie: This refreshing smoothie gets its beautiful color from orange juice and mangoes.
It also contains banana for creaminess and sweetness, as well as almond milk and chia seeds for an extra boost of nutrition. Overall, this is a fairly healthy option – just be mindful of the added sugar from the orange juice and banana.
Green Goddess Smoothie: As its name suggests, this green goddess of a smoothie is packed with nutrient-rich ingredients like spinach, kale, avocado, pineapple, and ginger.
