Cyclone is the term that covers cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. Therefore, some areas of the world that are cyclone-prone include:

  • Australia's northern coastline, from north west to northeast (the Indian ocean to the Coral Sea)
  • The Solomon Islands
  • Fiji
  • the Philippines
  • India
  • Burma
  • the Caribbean
  • Bangladesh
  • Gulf of Mexico
  • Southeastern United States
  • Myanmar (Burma)
  • Taiwan

Actual cyclones are prone to occur in tropical regions, such as northern Australia, Southeast Asia and many Pacific islands. They sometimes drift into the temperate coastal areas, threatening more heavily populated regions to the South. Northern Australia has about four or five tropical cyclones every year during the summertime wet season.

Cyclones form and 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.

Cyclones are not prone anywhere, but tornado alley could be called 'prone' to tornadoes.

Cyclones are prevalent in humid, tropical, warm to hot regions. They require a minimum sea temperature of 26.5 degrees Celsius in order to form. They do not usually occur north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn as the sea temperature is not generally high enough to support the development of a cyclone. There are always exceptions, however, and in Australia they have been known to move south of the Tropic of Capricorn after forming further north. This is because they follow the warm water currents.
