tropical cyclone genesisWhile the Atlantic basin experienced the busiest hurricane season in 2020, the typhoon activity over the western North Pacific (WNP) was also record-setting with no tropical cyclone (TC) formation in July 2020, which is the first time in available historical records. The ...
In the Southwest Pacific or Southeast Indian Oceans, storms with hurricane or typhoon-level wind speeds, exceeding 74 mph, are called severe tropical cyclones. Those that form over the North Indian Ocean are called severe cyclonic storms. Technically, how the strength of a tropical cyclone that ...
Hurricanes are tropical cyclones. When a tropical cyclone's sustained winds reach 39 to 73 mph (63 to 118 km/h), it is considered a tropical storm and it gets a name from a list put out by the World Meteorological Organization. Once those sustained winds reach 74 to 95 mph (119 to 1...

This study investigates the interannual variability of rapid intensification (RI) magnitude of western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclones. There is a significant correlation between basin-averaged RI magnitude during July–November and the simultaneous Western Pacific (WP) teleconnection index from 1982...
Giving Tropical Cyclones a name helps meteorologists track a system as it moves across large areas of ocean. These systems can bring severe weather to large areas and impact several countries so keeping track of where they are is really important. The name means that the many different weather ...

Similarly, winds descending from a steep slope that is not very craggy in nature are more intense as compared to a rougher topology. Other supporting climatic conditions like storms and cyclones, rains, snowfall, precipitation, and the overall ensuing weather itself have significant impacts on the ...
Climate simulations and analyses of Atlantic hurricane activity indicate that the record number of tropical cyclones that occurred in 2005 (28 storms) is close to the maximum number that might occur in this region, given existing climate conditions.
There are a number of such regions, ranging from the tropical climate at the equator to the polar climate in the northern and southern extremes. Weather is also influenced by the seasons, which result from the Earth's axis being tilted relative to its orbital plane. Thus, at any given ...
