Both have winds that rotate cyclonically around a low pressure center.
Cyclonic rotation is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
What else can I help you with?
Are hurricanes and tornadoes both types of cyclones?
No. A hurricane is a type of cyclone, but a tornado is not. A cyclone is a large-scale weather system. A tornado is a small-scale circulation.
Which tornado is more common anticyclonic or cyclone?
The vast majority of tornadoes are cyclonic, though it would be incorrect to call them cyclones. Anticyclonic tornadoes are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all tornadoes.
When did a cyclone hit Streator Illinois?
No, Streator, Illinois was hit by a tornado, which is different from a cyclone.
When do cyclones happen in America?
They can happen at any time. The United States gets two types of cyclones: tropical cyclones (tropiical storms and hurricanes) and mid-latitude cyclones. Tropical cyclones typically hit the United States in the later half of summer and early fall. Mid-latitude cyclones are more common and can occur at any time, but are most common and strongest in the colder half of the year.
What are other names for hurricanes?
Other names for hurricanes include cyclones and typhoons. These terms are used in different regions of the world - cyclones are found in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, while typhoons occur in the Northwest Pacific.
Which one of this is not a cyclone Bora Hurricane Tornado or Typhoon?

What is a nother name for a tornado?
Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters or (incorrectly) cyclones. Tornado is the term preferred by professionals.
Are most cyclones tornadoes?
No. Tornadoes and cyclones are different things. A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex within a thunderstorm. Most cyclones are mid-latitude cyclones.
What is a tornado called in the southern hemisphere?
A tornado in the southern hemisphere is still called a tornado.
Can lightning be near cyclones and tornadoes?

The vast majority of tornadoes are cyclonic, though it would be incorrect to call them cyclones. Anticyclonic tornadoes are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all tornadoes.
Is a cyclone a tornado too?
No. A tornado is a small scale but violent vortex that forms as a result of a thunderstorm and are dependent on a parent storm.A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system orders of magnitude larger than a tornado. Cyclones can be violent but do not have to be.Cyclones and tornadoes both have low pressure and cyclonic rotation, but they are classified separately as they operate on different scales and are powered by different mechanisms
Can tornadoes produce cyclones?
No. Cyclones can produce tornadoes, but not the other way around. A cyclone is a large scale system that can produce smaller storm cells. A tornado is a small scale vortex that results from such a cell.
