A tropical cyclone (or hurricane in North America, typhoon in Asia) is an intense tropical low-pressure weather system where, in the southern hemisphere, winds circulate clockwise around the centre. Tropical cyclone development is complex, but researchers have identified three components of a tropical cyclone that make up the total cyclone hazard: strong winds, intense rainfall and induced ocean effects including extreme waves, currents, storm surge and resulting storm tide.
