A cyclone is any low-pressure system that rotates counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Cyclones often bring rain or stormy, but not necessarily violent weather.A hurricane is more strictly defined as a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph that occurs in the northern hemisphere either in the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean east of 180 degrees longitude.
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.
Every kind of weather happens on earth, from droughts and heat waves to blizzards and cyclones.
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.

Cyclones occur in a variety of areas around the world. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the southern hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes.
Yes. Cyclones often produce thunderstorms, and tornado occur during thunderstorms. So both are commonly accompanied by lighting.

A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean.

They are called cyclones or tropical cyclones
The most destructive cyclones are tropical cyclones, which in various parts of the world are called hurricanes and typhoons. Extratropical cyclones can also be destructive by producing strong winds and flooding. Both can produce severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Note that while tornadoes are destructive they technically are not cyclones even though they are often referred to as such.
No, anticyclones are high-pressure systems and are generally associate with fair weather. Tornadoes are more often associated with fronts and low pressure systems or cyclones.
