Cyclones can only form in certain temperatures, and their formation is dependent on the ocean temperature being quite high. It is highly unlikely that there would be high ocean temperatures with cold air temperatures, but it is remotely possible.

How do cyclones and anticyclones affect weather?

Cyclones - air cools and clouds form and may cause rainy or stormy weather. Anticyclones - it brings dry and clear weather.


Extratropical cyclones typically form?

Extratropical cyclones typically form along the boundaries between cold and warm air masses in the mid-latitudes. These cyclones are characterized by a mix of warm and cold air, and they often develop over the oceans before moving toward land. Extratropical cyclones can bring significant weather changes, including strong winds, heavy rain, and sometimes snow.


What are cyclones called in Europe?

Cyclones in Europe are known as cyclones. They are not called hurricanes - this is a term generally reserved for cyclones in the Americas.


Do typhoons form at cold continents?

No. Typhoons are tropical cyclones, and as such can only form over warm ocean water.


Do tornadoes form in a cyclone?

No, tornadoes typically form in severe thunderstorms, not cyclones. Cyclones are large rotating weather systems that develop over warm ocean waters and can bring strong winds and rain, but tornadoes are more commonly associated with severe thunderstorms in a different type of weather system.


Do cyclones occur on the moon?

No, cyclones do not occur on the moon. Cyclones are large-scale rotating storms that are driven by temperature differences in the Earth's atmosphere, which the moon lacks due to its lack of atmosphere.


Do hurricanes and cyclones form in the tropics?

Hurricanes do, but not all cyclones do. Hurricanes fally into a class of weather phenomenon called a tropical cyclone. There are other types of cyclone, however, including mid-latitude or extratropical cyclones, and polar lows.


What is meant by a family of cyclones?

"More than one tornado at a time." The term "family" of cyclones does not necessarily have to deal with tornadoes. The meteorological term has to do with mid-latitude cyclones. Basically meaning a particular number wave cyclones (low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere) that move in succession. Example: During the winter (in the Northern Hemisphere), when you get cold front after cold front. This is referred to as a "family" of cyclones.


What are the families of meteorological depression?

The main families of meteorological depressions are extratropical cyclones, tropical cyclones, and mesocyclones. Extratropical cyclones are large weather systems that form outside the tropics, while tropical cyclones are intense storms that form over warm ocean waters. Mesocyclones are smaller-scale rotating updrafts typically associated with severe thunderstorms.


What Meteorologists track cyclones and anticyclone because they?

Meteorologists track cyclones and anticyclones because these are dangerous weather situations. If a meteorologist can warn the public that cyclones are going to be in their area, then it may stop people from getting hurt.
