Cyclones form and occur in a variety of areas around the world. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the Southern Hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes.
Cyclones are prevalent in humid, tropical, warm to hot regions. They require a minimum sea temperature of 26.5 degrees Celsius in order to form. They do not usually occur north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn as the sea temperature is not generally high enough to support the development of a cyclone. There are always exceptions, however, and in Australia they have been known to move south of the Tropic of Capricorn after forming further north. This is because they follow the warm water currents.
What else can I help you with?
What month of the year tropical cyclones occur most?
it usually occur from september to november.
What month of the year do tropical cyclones occur most?
it usually occur from september to november.
Does a hurricane or a cyclone involve us more?
Cyclones occur more. This is because all hurricanes are cyclones, but not all cyclones are hurricanes.
When does a cyclone most commonly occur?
A cyclone most commonly occurs in the summer months, extending into early Autumn. In the waters around Australia, cyclones therefore can occur anytime between November and April, with the most common occurrences being December, January and February. As sea temperatures of at least 26.5 degrees Celsius are required, more cyclones occur later in summer.
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 month of the year do tropical cyclones occur most?
it usually occur from september to november.
What month of the year tropical cyclones occur most?
it usually occur from september to november.
What countries do tropical cyclones occur in most?
Australia (Western Australia and Queensland)
Where do cyclones occur the most?
Tropical cyclones are most likely to occur over warm and moist, (tropical) seas and oceans. they do move across seas and builds up, but when the cyclones hits the land it will slow down and will loose energy :) hope this helped :)
What year do cyclones hit?
Cyclones occur every year.
Does a hurricane or a cyclone involve us more?
Cyclones occur more. This is because all hurricanes are cyclones, but not all cyclones are hurricanes.
Where do cylcones happen?
Cyclones occur in the Pacific. Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic
When do tropical cyclones occur in Australia?
Cyclones occur in the summer wet season. This means they tend to occur between November and April, with the greatest probability being between December and February.
Do cyclones occur on the moon?
No, cyclones do not occur on the moon. Cyclones are large-scale rotating storms that are driven by temperature differences in the Earth's atmosphere, which the moon lacks due to its lack of atmosphere.

What is the spatial distribution of tropical cyclones in Australia?
Most tropical cyclones in Australia actually occur in Chinatown. This part of Australia has dodgy air-conditioning so there is an extremely high chance of tropical cyclones to form in the poorly ventilated buildings of Chinatown
What are the similarities of cyclones and floods?
They both occur on water
