Cyclones:

  • A cyclone is a rotating of winds anti-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere around a low-pressure center area seas and oceans. The air rises over and cools, creating clouds and precipitation.
  • The winds of this are blows in a circular manner in the anticlockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere and clockwise direction in the Southern hemisphere.
  • On the other hand, in tropical regions, they occur due to intense heating up of air in some regions causing very low pressure in these locations. Tropical seas and oceans are most conducive to the development of Tropical Cyclones.
  • Low pressure and atmospheric instability turn to cyclone if the temperature of water at the sea level rises above 26.5 degrees Centigrade and there is the high relative humidity of the atmosphere at a height of more than 700 m.
  • The low-pressure areas, the pressure of air increasing outward, and closed air circulation from outside towards the central low pressure in such a way that air blows inward in the anticlockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere and in the clockwise direction in the Southern hemisphere.

Eye of the cyclone:

The eye of the cyclone lies in the center of the cyclone. It has abnormally high temperatures and the lowest pressure. The general direction of cyclones in the Bay of Bengal is from east to west.

Classification of Cyclone according to Speed:  

  1. Low-Pressure Area:Less than 17 knots ( < 31 kmph)

  3. Deep Depression:28 to 33 knots ( 50 to 61 kmph)
  4. Cyclonic Storm:34 to 47 knots ( 62 to 88 kmph)

2.Temperate Cyclone:

  • Normally found between 30 to 65 degrees North and South in the subpolar frontal zone, where cold polar air mass meets the warm tropical air mass.
  • It moves from West to East embedded in the Westerly wind belt.
  • They form over a much large area with a diameter of 300 to 1500 km.
  • Temperate cyclones are frontal in nature.
  • They can form both in summer as well as in winter.
  • It is formed either over continents or over the oceans.

Cyclone Asani :
