A cyclone is a large-scale system of spiral winds in a region of low atmospheric pressure, which rotates in a center of low atmospheric pressure at the equator north of the equator and in a clockwise direction toward the south. Cyclones occur primarily in the middle and high latitude belts of both hemispheres, and cyclones typically occur with violent storms and inclement weather. The cyclone rapidly circulates air around the low-pressure area. The word cyclone is derived from the Greek word cyclo meaning coils of snakes.
