Tropical cyclones are similar to engines that require hot, humid air as fuel to operate. Hurricane is a type of storm called a "tropical cyclone". Hurricanes are the most powerful and destructive storms in tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones rotate in a low-pressure weather system formed over tropical or sub-tropical waters. They bring the winds but the vatagras (a boundary separating two different airways of different densities) are not formed. The so-called "hurricane season" in the Caribbean Sea begins from 1 June and ends by 30 November. Although Hurricane can come before and after this deadline.
