An extratropical cyclone can transform into a subtropical storm, and from there into a tropical cyclone, if it dwells over warm waters sufficient to warm its core, and as a result develops central convection. [37] A particularly intense type of extratropical cyclone that strikes during winter is known colloquially as a nor'easter.
A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a warm-cored, non-frontal synoptic-scale low-pressure system over tropical or subtropical waters around the world. [4] [5] The systems generally have a well-defined center which is surrounded by deep atmospheric convection and a closed wind circulation at the surface. [4]
The South Pacific tropical cyclone basin is located to the south of the Equator between 160°E and 120°W. [1] The basin is officially monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service and the New Zealand MetService, while other meteorological services such as the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Météo-France as well as the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center also monitor the basin.

Tropical cyclone naming – once a tropical cyclone reaches winds of 34 kt (39 mph), a name would be given to that specific cyclone. Names are usually given by their respective RSMCs when the cyclone reaches tropical storm status. History of tropical cyclone naming – history of tropical cyclone naming from the late 18th century onward.
The exports and imports are halted in sea ports due to the cyclone. Some people lose their jobs as well. A mature tropical cyclone can release heat at a rate upwards of 6×10 14 watts. [1] Tropical cyclones on the open sea cause large waves, heavy rain, and high winds, disrupting international shipping and, at times, causing shipwrecks. [2]
In the peak of Atlantic hurricane season, words matter. And using the right ones at the right time can be the difference between alerting of a far-out rotating storm system to a nearer full-blown ...
A very intense tropical cyclone is the highest category on the South-West Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone scale, and has winds of over 115 knots (213 km/h; 132 mph). [24] [25] At the tenth RA I tropical cyclone committee held during 1991, it was recommended that the intensity classifications be changed ahead of the 1993–94 tropical cyclone season.
The 1999 Odisha cyclone (IMD designation BOB 06, [1] JTWC designation 05B [3]) was the most intense recorded tropical cyclone in the North Indian Ocean and among the most destructive in the region. [ note 1 ] The 1999 Odisha cyclone organized into a tropical depression in the Andaman Sea on 25 October, though its origins could be traced back to ...
