A cyclone is a rotating storm. In the center of the cyclone, the air is generally calm, with fairly low air pressure. So the "eye" of a cyclone (other words are hurricane or typhoon) has much lower winds. For very large storms like hurricanes, the "eye" can take 10-15 minutes to pass over a spot. People are often injured by leaving their shelters as the "eye" passes over; the winds will return in full force in a few seconds when the eye moves away, and you won't have time to get back inside if you are outside.
For tornadoes, which are another example of cyclonic storms, the "eye" is quite small, but the pressure is VERY low.
The eye of a tropical cyclone is an area of calm, usually clear weather at the center of rotation.
the center of the cyclone p.s.cyclonescan also be called hurricanes or typhoones :) (:
Because of the other side of the cyclone will hit with winds coming from the opposite direction. That is why it would be dangerous to relax when the eye passes over.
It's possible that you are simply in the relatively calm eye of the cyclone, about to be hit with the other half.
It has 1 eye. A cyclone is a swirling air mass generated by heat while over tropical waters. The convection spins it counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere it spins clockwise. But it only has 1 eye.
The eye of a cyclone is calm.
The eye of the cyclone is the calm weather found at the centre of the cyclone. It is the only part of the cyclone where clear skies are visible. The eye can range from 10km in diameter to 100km in diameter.
MAYBE ;) Yes if it did not have an eye it probly isnt a cyclone!
Not very hard at all. The eye of a cyclone is fairly calm.

CYCLONE
It's not necessarily that the eye gets smaller as the cyclone gets bigger so much as the eye gets bigger when the cyclone gets stronger. There is no direct correlation between the size of a cyclone and its intensity. All cyclones are low pressure systems. The lower the pressure, the stronger the cyclone. The eye wall, which immediately surrounds the eye, marks the point where the inward force of the low pressure is balanced with the tendency for air to get flung outward by the rotation. A lower pressure means a stronger inward pull and thus a smaller eye.
the storms winds
The worst place to be in a tropical cyclone is outside in the eye wall.

Yes. The eye of a cyclone is actually calm. Its getting in and out that is the dangerous part, as the eye is surrounded by the eye wall, the strongest part of the storm. It is still survivable, as many people have survived this.
