Cyclones are deadly storms characterized by strong winds that can exceed 30 mph. They typically form between 5 and 3 degrees latitude and move westward towards Australia, where the cyclone season occurs from October to May. Cyclones can destroy everything in their path, taking lives and causing billions of dollars in property damage. While natural disasters cannot be prevented, improving early warning systems and encouraging protective shelters could help mitigate cyclones' harmful impacts on human life and communities.
