Cylcon

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a really big storm with lots of rain and wind? That's called a cyclone!

It happens when warm air from the ocean meets cooler air from the land. This mix of hot and cold air creates a big spinning storm that can be very dangerous.

The strongest part of the cyclone is called the eye, kind of like the center of a tornado. It's usually calm and peaceful there, but all around it is lots of wind and rain.

Cyclones can cause flooding, landslides and even knock down buildings. It's important to stay safe and prepared if you ever hear that a cyclone is coming to your area.
