Ciclones, also known as cyclones, are powerful storm systems characterized by low atmospheric pressure and strong winds. They form over warm ocean waters and can lead to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and severe weather conditions. Ciclones are classified into different categories, including tropical cyclones, which occur in tropical regions, and extratropical cyclones, which form in temperate zones. These storms can cause significant damage to coastal areas, leading to flooding and destruction of infrastructure. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is often used to categorize the intensity of tropical ciclones, helping to predict their potential impact on affected regions.
