Tropical Cyclone A tropical cyclone is a powerful low-pressure system forming over warm tropical oceans. When winds hit 62 kmph (34 knots) and pressure drops sharply, it evolves into a vast spinning storm — stretching 150 to 800 km across and moving up to 500 km a day! The term cyclone comes from the Greek word ‘cyclos’ meaning "coiling of a snake" coined by Henry Piddington in the 19th century. Region-wise, it's known as: Cyclone - Indian Ocean Hurricane - Atlantic Ocean Typhoon - Pacific Ocean

🌀 Earth’s First Category 5 Storm of 2026 Forms in the Indian Ocean 🌏 February 23, 2026 • South Indian Ocean Cyclone Horacio has just erupted into a Category 5 giant east of Madagascar, hitting one hundred and sixty miles per hour after a rapid climb from sixty five miles per hour in only one day.
