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.

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.

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.
