Tropical cyclone [is a] cyclone of tropical origin of small diameter (some hundreds of kilometres) with minimum surface pressure in some cases less than 900 hPa, very violent winds and torrential rain; sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms.

Tropical cyclones are experienced in several areas of the world. In general, they form over the tropical oceans (except the South Atlantic and the eastern South Pacific) and affect the eastern and equatorward portions of the continents. They occur in the tropical North Atlantic (including the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico), the North Pacific off the west coast of Mexico and occasionally as far west as Hawaii, the western North Pacific (including the Philippine Islands and the China Sea), the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, the southern Indian Ocean off the coasts of Madagascar and the northwest coast of Australia, and the South Pacific Ocean from the east coast of Australia to about 140°W. 6, record 3, English, - tropical%20cyclone

By international agreement, tropical cyclones have been classified according to their intensity as follows: 1) tropical depression, with winds up to 17 m s-1(34 knots); 2) tropical storm, with winds of 18-32 m s-1(35-64 knots); and 3) severe tropical cyclone, hurricane or typhoon, with winds of 33 m-1(65 knots) or higher. It should be noted that the wind speeds referred to above are 10-min average wind speeds at standard anemometer level (10 m), except that in the United States, 1-min average wind speeds are used. 6, record 3, English, - tropical%20cyclone

Toujours associés à une profonde dépression, les cyclones tropicaux sont accompagnés de vents violents dépassant généralement 100 kilomètres à l'heure et de pluies diluviennes pouvant dépasser 300 millimètres en 24 heures. La zone couverte par un tel phénomène est quasi circulaire avec un diamètre de quelques centaines de kilomètres à un millier de kilomètres et les masses nuageuses très épaisses qui l'accompagnent atteignent la tropopause, soit à ces latitudes, une quinzaine de kilomètres d'altitude. Les vents violents engendrent dans la zone affectée par le cyclone une mer démontée tandis que se développe, jusqu'à des milliers de kilomètres du centre, une houle caractéristique constituant souvent un signe précurseur de l'approche du phénomène. Autres signes, la chute brutale de la pression, parfois plusieurs dizaines d'hectopascals par heure et l'apparition de nuages caractéristiques. 5, record 3, French, - cyclone%20tropical
