Cyclones form over warm ocean waters near the equator when sea surface temperatures exceed 26.5°C. A pre-existing weather disturbance, like a tropical wave, initiates the process. Warm, moist air rises, creating an area of low pressure. The Coriolis effect causes this rising air to spin, essential for cyclone formation. Low vertical wind shear is crucial, allowing the system to maintain its structure. High humidity in the mid-troposphere supports cloud and precipitation development. These conditions collectively facilitate the formation and intensification of cyclones, which can then move and impact coastal regions.

The formation and development of cyclones depend on several atmospheric conditions:

1 Sea surface temperatures- 26.5°C

2. Atmospheric Instability

3. Coriolis Force
