Learn the basics
A tropical cyclone is a rotating storm that forms over warm ocean water, organized around a low-pressure center. Depending on its strength and where it forms it’s called a tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane, typhoon or simply cyclone — all the same kind of storm under different regional names.
StormGlobe tracks active storms as paths: where a storm has been, where it is now, and the official forecast track and cone of uncertainty. Its intensity scale is maximum sustained wind, the basis of the Saffir–Simpson categories.
How tropical cyclones form and strengthenWarm water, moisture and low wind shear — the ingredients, the naming ladder from depression to hurricane, and what fuels rapid intensification.Reading the forecast track and coneWhy the cone shows the center’s likely path — not the storm’s size or its hazards — and the single biggest mistake people make with it.Wind isn’t the deadliest partStorm surge, inland rainfall flooding, wind and tornadoes — and why water, not wind, causes most deaths.
