A community portal about Tropical cyclones with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: A tropical cyclone is a storm system fueled by the heat released when moist air rises and the water vapor in it condenses. The term describes the storm's origin in the tropics and its cyclonic nature, which means that its circulation is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Tropical cyclones are distinguished from other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows by the heat mechanism that fuels them, which makes them "warm core" storm systems. Depending on their location and strength, there are various terms by which tropical cyclones are known, such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, and tropical depression.
A tropical low centred near Darwin is expected to reach cyclone intensity in the next 36 to 48 hours. The low currently has wind gusts of up to 85 kilometres per hour and is moving away from the Territory coast.
