Le cyclone comprend un centre, l'œil du cyclone, généralement clair dépourvu de nuages. L'œil est entouré d'une région très active, le mur de l'œil, constitué de cumulonimbus. L'agitation à l'intérieur de l'œil est minime, les vents y sont très faibles. Plus on s'écarte du centre, plus les vents sont intenses, ils atteignent leur maximum à 30 km du centre pour parfois souffler à une vitesse de 300 km/h, puis ils décroissent lentement vers la périphérie. 4, record 2, French, - %26oelig%3Bil%20du%20cyclone
