Cyclones are centers of low pressure that are surrounded by closed isobars. The pressure is extremely low at the center and increases outwards. Thus the wind flows from the rim to the central core. Due to the Coriolis Effect, the winds move in anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere and in a clockwise direction in southern hemisphere. From the locational point of view
cyclones are classified as:
- Tropical Cyclone (originating between the tropics)
- Extra-Tropical Cyclones (originating beyond the tropics)
