What are the families of meteorological depression?
The main families of meteorological depressions are extratropical cyclones, tropical cyclones, and mesocyclones. Extratropical cyclones are large weather systems that form outside the tropics, while tropical cyclones are intense storms that form over warm ocean waters. Mesocyclones are smaller-scale rotating updrafts typically associated with severe thunderstorms.
Do hurricanes and cyclones form in the tropics?
Hurricanes do, but not all cyclones do. Hurricanes fally into a class of weather phenomenon called a tropical cyclone. There are other types of cyclone, however, including mid-latitude or extratropical cyclones, and polar lows.
What are the two types of storms and how do they differ?
The two main types of storms are tropical storms and extratropical storms. Tropical storms form over warm ocean waters near the equator, while extratropical storms develop outside the tropics. Tropical storms have more organized circulation and primarily rely on warm, moist air for fuel, while extratropical storms are influenced by temperature and pressure gradients.
What is extropical cyclones?
Extratropical cyclones are large systems of low pressure that occur outside the tropics. They are often associated with fronts and can bring a variety of weather conditions, including strong winds, precipitation, and temperature changes. Extratropical cyclones can impact regions across the mid-latitudes and are important for driving weather patterns.
Which storms feature strong cyclonic winds spinning counterclockwise?
A number of storms in the northern hemisphere have such characteristics including tropical cyclones (hurricanes an typhoons), some extratropical cyclones, and most tornadoes (on rare occasions they are anticyclonic).

Mesocyclones are smaller-scale rotating updrafts typically associated with severe thunderstorms.
Are there cyclones or hurricanes in Denmark?
There are mid-latitude or extratropical cyclones in Denmark, but hurricanes are a tropical phenomenon and cannot get that far north.
Can a cyclone occur in Texas?
Yes. Texas can be affected by both tropical and extratropical cyclones.
Do tropical areas get hurricanes cyclones and typhoons?
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.
How is an extratropical cyclone different from a tropical cyclone?
Extratropical cyclones are typically connected to fronts and usually form along boundaries of air masses of different temperature and/or dew point. Tropical cyclones are different in that they have what is called a "warm core" and a fueled by a somewhat different mechanism.
Does a cyclone start at the water?
Not necessarily. Although tropical cyclones can only form over warm ocean water, extratropical cyclones can form over land.
Do storms turn?
Some do. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons etc.), extratropical cyclones/lows, Some thunderstorms (mostly supercells), and tornadoes are all storms that rotate.
Is there going to be a cyclone this year?
There have already been many cyclones this year, both tropical and extratropical, and there will almost certainly be more.
Do hurricanes and cyclones form in the tropics?
Hurricanes do, but not all cyclones do. Hurricanes fally into a class of weather phenomenon called a tropical cyclone. There are other types of cyclone, however, including mid-latitude or extratropical cyclones, and polar lows.
Are all hurricanes cyclones and tornadoes named?
No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.
