South indian ocean Tropical cyclone November to april
Factors necessary for tropical cyclone formation
Water temperature of at least 27 degrees Celsius
Rapid cooling of rising air laden with water vapour
and subsequent condensation allows for the release
of latent heat powering the tropical cyclone
High humidity
Low amount of wind shear
Form more than 5 degrees north and south allowing
Coriolis force to deflect winds to blow towards low
pressure centre and creating a vortex. In clockwise
circulation in the southern hemisphere
Forming tropical cyclones requires pre existing time of
undisturbed weather to allow for the air to start
circulating
Air flowing westwards (tropical easterly belt)
Stages of development
INITIAL STAGE ( TROPICAL LOW)
Stage 1: Formative Stage In the formative stage the
cyclone has very strong up draughts and the low
pressure intensifies. The cyclone is not very large yet
and there is no clear eye yet. The winds start spiralling.
Air pressure above 1000 hPa
DEVELOPING STAGE (tropical storm)
UPPER atmosphere divergence takes place
pressure drops to about 990hPa
wind speed increases to about 120km/h
low pressure centre form and huge cumulonimbus clouds
swirling around the vortex
MATURE STAGE (TROPICAL CYCLONE)
Stage 2: Mature Stage The pressure gradient is very strong and wind speeds reach
hurricane strength. The calm, clear eye is well developed and the air pressure is less
than 950hPa. The South Western quadrant is the most destructive as the winds and
the Tropical Easterly winds are coinciding. The cyclone can cover distances of up to
300km from the eye. The cyclone moves in a South Westerly direction from the
equator and then turns South East at about 20º South. The low pressure and the fast
wind over the ocean masses cause a storm surge (bulge of sea water) which leads to
further flooding of the coastal areas hit by the cyclone.
DECAYING STAGE
Dissipating Stage When the tropical cyclone moves
over land, the wind is slowed down by friction and
there is less evaporation to cause unstable air
conditions. The cyclone also moves into cooler sub-
tropical areas and the air pressure increases. The
weather clears up.
Class activity
 1.1 State ONE condition that would have favoured the initial development of
tropical cyclone Fanele. (1 x 2) (2)
 1.2 Give ONE piece of evidence from the satellite image to suggest that tropical
cyclone Fanele is in its mature stage. (1 x 2) (2)
 1.3 Why does tropical cyclone Fanele generally move from east to west? (1 x 2)
(2)
 1.4 Explain why tropical cyclone Fanele weakens when it moves over the southern
highlands of Madagascar. (2 x 2) (4)
