    A cyclone is a rotating storm system that develops over warm tropical oceans between 8 and 15 degrees north and south latitude. Cyclones form where winds from opposite directions meet, causing an upward spiral and the formation of clouds as water vapor condenses and releases heat energy. The low pressure system features very high wind speeds revolving around a relatively calm eye. The diameter of the eye can range from 10 to 30 kilometers.
