Tropical Storm Info

When is a tropical storm given a name?
When its wind speeds exceed 39 miles/hour (62 kmph)

----------------------------

Tropical Cyclones are formed over the ocean in the area around the equator, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
In order for a cyclone to form, the ocean waters need to be warm, at least 26°C. Above the warm ocean, water evaporates and form clouds. If there is low air pressure where the clouds are formed, it pulls them in and they begin to rotate. It is the Earth’s rotation and spinning on its axis that causes the cyclone’s clouds to rotate. Clouds will continue to form and begin spinning more.
This is the stage when it can develop into a mature cyclone, or lose its momentum. Even if it has developed into a mature cyclone, it can still grow in size and increase its wind speed.
In order for it to be categorised as a cyclone, its average sustained wind speed needs to exceed 63 kilometres per hour. To be classified as severe, the average sustained wind speed needs to exceed 118 kilometres per hour.
Once they arrive over land, their strength weakens and they begin to fade out. This is due to the lack of moisture and heat compared to the ocean over which it was formed.

SOME DOPE ON CYCLONES

Let me tell you how cyclones are born. They start off as a low pressure area. Then they get stronger and develop into a depression. Then intensify into a deep depression. If it gains further strength, a cyclone is born.It is also called a hurricane, typhoon or a severe tropical storm.
