A cyclone is a powerful storm that is accompanied by circular winds and heavy rainfall. It develops over the warm waters of a sea or ocean.

The rising of warm moisture-laden air and the entry of cooler air from the surrounding areas leads to the formation of a weak circulation. This becomes stronger under certain conditions and is called a depression, which can eventually strengthen into a cyclone.

The centre of a cyclone (eye) is a calm area with low atmospheric pressure and winds whirling around it.

Cyclones are known by different names in different parts of the world. They are called hurricanes in North and Central America and typhoons around East Asia.

The effects of a cyclone are due to the high speed of winds, storm surge and heavy rainfall. These can cause damage to property and loss of life.

• Strong cyclonic winds uproot trees. Branches may break off trees and crash into homes and vehicles. Telephone and electricity lines may snap. The snapping of electricity lines can lead to the danger of electrocution.

• Rough waves can lead to flooding and cause damage along the coast.

• As a cyclone approaches the shore, cyclonic winds push the seawater in front of them into a huge mound, called a storm surge.

• Strong winds and rough seas pose a danger to fishing boats.

• Heavy rainfall can cause flooding. Rivers and streams may overflow. Landslides may occur in mountainous regions.
