Counter clockwise wind flow at the time of a cyclone. The pressure when the tropical cyclone approaches. The eye of the tropical cyclone may be very small or very large in diameter. The strongest winds around an eye average from 90-150 knots. The storm is divided into semicircles for orientation. The right semicircle is considered to be the most dangerous semicircle because of its stronger wind. The left is considered to be relatively less dangerous because of somewhat weaker winds. A demonstration is done by considering ships stuck in both the parts. The ship stuck in the right semicircle revolving in the area. The ship stuck in the left one arrives towards the end and comes out of the storm. Ships underway at sea during a storm. Clouds in the sky. Rain begins to fall. A man checking a parametric center.
