This document discusses signs of impending hydrometeorological hazards like tropical cyclones. It defines tropical cyclones as rotating storm systems that originate over tropical oceans and move westward. Tropical cyclones are classified based on wind speed into tropical depressions, tropical storms, severe tropical storms, typhoons, and super typhoons. Satellite images can track tropical cyclones based on their characteristic spiral shape and development of an eye, while weather radars track storm movement by detecting reflected signals from rain and clouds. Forecasters issue public storm warnings to notify citizens of expected wind strength.
