In the eye of a storm, such as a hurricane, the air generally sinks. This sinking air creates a region of low pressure and clear skies, which is characteristic of the eye. Surrounding the eye, however, air rises rapidly, contributing to the storm's intensity. The contrast between the rising air around the eye and the sinking air within it is what helps maintain the storm's structure.
