Explain the weather conditions associated with tropical cyclones. 

The weather conditions associated with tropical cyclones are winds, pressure, humidity, clouds and rain

• These weather conditions vary with vortices. Those in the advance vortex may be similar to those in rear vortex. But those in the eye of the storm, they are different
• Before the arrival of the storm; they are characterized by; high pressure, calm and still air, hot temperatures.

Weather conditions in the advance vortex

• There is decreasing atmospheric pressure
• Increasing wind speed and winds tend be violent i.e. surge upwards at high speed of an average of 150- 200km /hour
• Developments of dense clouds cover due to up surging of humid winds that they condense.
• Heavy rainfall, with lightning and thunder storms which may exceed 500mm in only 24 hours
• Reduced visibility due to low and dense cloud cover as well as stormy conditions
• Temperatures tend to be hot, a counting for the great evaporation and consequent humidity

Weather conditions in the eye or the storm

• There are calm winds /light winds/stationary or still winds.
• Temperatures are generally hot
• There are bright and dry conditions
• The skies are clear with hardly any cloud

Weather conditions in the rear vortex

• These is low, but rising atmospheric pressure
• There are strong winds with high speed between 120-200.km/hr
• Winds are also marked by vertical instabilities i.e. rising air currents.
• It tends to be cloudy i.e. there are dense clouds
• There is high humidity
• There is heavy rainfall, accompanied by thunder storms
