Tropical cyclone frequency

Tropical cyclones, or hurricanes or typhoons, are storm weather systems, characterised by a low pressure centre, thunderstorms and high windspeeds.

Cyclones can, after they have formed in the oceans, move in over populated areas, creating much damage and even natural disasters.
