Question

Name the weather conditions associated with the cyclones.

Answer 1

The weather conditions associated with cyclones are as follows:

1. Before the cyclone arrives, the air is still with high temperature and humidity, and there is a sudden drop in air pressure.
2. When the cyclone’s front approaches, strong winds and thick clouds develop, followed by violent winds and heavy rainfall that reduce visibility.
3. The eye or center of the cyclone is calm with light or no winds.
4. After the eye passes, violent winds and heavy rain return, with the wind direction reversing.

Tropical cyclones bring turbulent weather with thick cloud cover, strong winds, and heavy rain, causing damage to life and property. Temperate cyclones are larger with lower wind speeds, produce lighter and longer-lasting rainfall, and do not usually cause much damage compared to tropical cyclones.
