My first cyclone

  • Cappateige by Cappateige

    Is this a cyclone that is forming or one that is disintegrating? To my untrained eye it's all a bit of a muddle

    This is indeed a bit of a difficult one. There is some curvature so its probably a curved-band but there may also be some shear. Its unclear where in the life-cycle this is. Could be at either end of the cyclone's lifetime although perhaps if the shear reduced it would rapidly intensify.
