That depends on the definition. By the Australian definition a cyclone is necessarily a tropical cyclone. However, that is not the case by North American and European standards. In higher latitudes extratropical, or mid-latitude cyclones are the norm. In short, though, both tropical and extratropical cyclones can be considered as "normal" cyclones.
