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.

What is another word for the eye of a cyclone?
the center of the cyclone p.s.cyclonescan also be called hurricanes or typhoones :) (:
What is a eye in a tropical cyclone?
The "eye" is a calm and clear area at the center of a tropical cyclone, surrounded by the eyewall where the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall occur. The eye typically has light winds and partly cloudy skies, but can vary in size from a few kilometers to over 100 kilometers wide.
Why is it dangerous to relax during the passage of the eye of a cyclone?
It is dangerous to relax during the passage of the eye of a cyclone because the calm conditions can be misleading. The second half of the storm, with its fierce winds and heavy rain, will follow the eye, catching people off guard and potentially causing harm.
Why is it important not to think that a cyclone is over when the initial storm stops?
It's possible that you are simply in the relatively calm eye of the cyclone, about to be hit with the other half.
How big was the eye of cyclone yasi?
The eye of Cyclone Yasi was approximately 90 kilometers (56 miles) wide when it made landfall in Australia in 2011. It was a large and powerful storm, causing significant damage across the region.
Is the eye of the cyclone calm or destructive?
The eye of a cyclone is calm.

What is eye of the cyclone?
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.
What is the centrual of a cyclone called?
The central part of a cyclone is called the eye. The eye is typically a calm, clear area with light winds located at the center of the storm.
Which weather phenomenon has an eye?
CYCLONE
Why does the eye of a cyclone get smaller as the cyclone get bigger?
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.
What is lowest at the eye of a cyclone?
the storms winds
Where is the worst place to be when a cyclone hits?
The worst place to be in a tropical cyclone is outside in the eye wall.

Calm area of a cyclone?
In the center of a cyclone is a region called the "eye," where the weather is calm with clear skies and light winds. The eye is surrounded by the eye wall, which contains the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall in the storm. The calm area of the eye provides a temporary respite from the intense conditions experienced in the rest of the cyclone.
Could you live if you were in the eye part of a cyclone?
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.
