Severe Cyclonic Storm

A Severe Cyclonic Storm is a powerful weather system characterized by strong winds, heavy rain, and low pressure, typically forming over warm ocean waters. It is a category of tropical cyclone that can cause significant damage through high winds, flooding, and storm surges. These storms are classified based on wind speeds; a severe cyclonic storm usually has sustained winds between 100-119 km/h (62-74 mph). They develop when warm, moist air rises and creates rotating storm systems, often impacting coastal regions with destructive effects before gradually weakening over land or cooler waters.
