Topical cyclone, also called typhoon or hurricane, an intense

circularstorm that originates over warm tropical oceans and is characterized

by low atmospheric pressure, high winds, and heavy rain. Drawing energy
from the sea surface and maintaining its strength as long as it remains over
warm water, a tropical cyclone generates winds that exceed 119 km (74
miles) per hour. In extreme cases winds may exceed 240 km (150 miles) per
hour, and gusts may surpass 320 km (200 miles) per hour. Accompanying
these strong winds are torrential rains and a devastating phenomenon known
as the storm surge, an elevation of the sea surface that can reach 6 metres
(20 feet) above normal levels. Such a combination of high winds and water
makes cyclones a serious hazard for coastal areas in tropical and subtropical
areas of the world. Every year during the late summer months (July
September in the Northern Hemisphere and JanuaryMarch in the Southern
Hemisphere), cyclones strike regions as far apart as the Gulf Coast of North
America, northwestern Australia, and eastern India andBangladesh.
Tropical cyclones are known by various names in different parts of the world.
In the North Atlantic Ocean and the eastern North Pacific they are called
hurricanes, and in the western North Pacific around the Philippines, Japan,
and China the storms are referred to as typhoons. In the western South
Pacific and Indian Ocean they are variously referred to as severe tropical
cyclones, tropical cyclones, or simply cyclones. All these different names
refer to the same type of storm.

ANATOMY OF A CYCLONE
Tropical cyclones are compact, circular storms, generally some 320 km (200
miles) in diameter, whose winds swirl around a central region of low

atmospheric pressure. The winds are driven by this low-pressure core and by
the rotation of Earth, which deflects the path of the wind through a
phenomenon known as the Coriolis force. As a result, tropical cyclones rotate
in a counterclockwise (or cyclonic) direction in the Northern Hemisphere and
in a clockwise (or anticyclonic) direction in the Southern Hemisphere
The eye
Horizontal winds within the eye, on the other hand, are light. In addition,
there is a weak sinking motion, or subsidence, as air is pulled into the
eyewall at the surface. As the air subsides, it compresses slightly and warms,
so that temperatures at the centre of a tropical cyclone are some 5.5 C (10
F) higher than in other regions of the storm. Because warmer air can hold
more moisture before condensation occurs, the eye of the cyclone is
generally free of clouds. Reports of the air inside the eye being oppressive
or sultry are most likely a psychological response to the rapid change from
high winds and rain in the eyewall to calm conditions in the eye.

What to do before, during, and after a

Typhoon.
6 November 2013 at 19:29

Before the Typhoon:

Store an adequate supply of food and clean water

Prepare foods that need not be cooked.

Keep flashlights, candles and battery-powered radios within

easy reach.

Examine your house and repair its unstable parts.

Always keep yourself updated with the latest weather report.

Harvest crops that can be yielded already.

Secure domesticated animals in a safe place.

For fisher folks, place boats in a safe area.

Should you need to evacuate, bring clothes, first aid kit,

candles/flashlight, battery-powered radio, food, etc.
During the Typhoon:

Stay inside the house.

Always keep yourself updated with the latest weather report.

If safe drinking water is not available, boil water for at least

20 minutes. Place it in a container with cover.
Keep an eye on lighted candles or gas lamps.

Do not wade through floodwaters to avoid being electrocuted

and contracting diseases.

If there is a need to move to an evacuation center, follow

these reminders.

Evacuate calmly.

Close the windows and turn off the main power switch.

Put important appliances and belongings in a high ground.

Avoid the way leading to the river.

After the Typhoon:

If your house was destroyed, make sure that it is already

safe and stable when you enter.

Beware of dangerous animals such as snakes that may have

entered your house

Watch out for live wires or outlet immersed in water.

Report damaged electrical cables and fallen electric posts to
the authorities.

Do not let water accumulate in tires, cans or pots to avoid

creating a favorable condition for mosquito breeding.
