What is a
weather
disturbance?
WEATHER DISTURBANCE
is a general term that describes any pulse of
energy moving through the atmosphere.
They are important in that they can act as
focusing mechanisms for storm formation, or even
to intensify low pressure systems.
They are typically mid or upper atmospheric
troughs of low pressure that are embedded in the
general wind flow of the atmosphere
What is a
Thunderstorm?

shaped cumulonimbus cloud. ?
It is also known as an electrical storm, a lightning

What is a
Tropical
Cyclone?
TROPICAL CYCLONE
A tropical cyclone is a generic term for a storm
with an organized system of thunderstorms that
are not based on a frontal system.
It is a low pressure system that generally forms
over tropical ocean areas, and brings wind and
thunderstorms.
Comes from the Greek word "kyklos", which
means "coiling snake.
TROPICAL CYCLONE
It rushes in a spiral motion and have a low pressure
center called "eye of the storm".
Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds
of less than 62 km/h are called tropical depressions.
When the winds reach 62 km/h, becomes a tropical storm.
Winds that reaches at least 118 km/h, then they are called
hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the Pacific.
Typhoons are strongest over the ocean where they get
their energy and weakest in the land.
