The temperate cyclones are associated with anticyclones which precede and succeed a cyclone. These cyclones are not very destructive. The tropical cyclones are not associated with surface anticyclones and they have a greater destructive capacity.
The tropical cyclone derives its energy from the latent heat of condensation, and the difference in densities of the air masses does not contribute to the energy of the cyclone. The energy of a temperate cyclone depends on the densities of air masses.
The center of a tropical cyclone is known as the eye. The wind is calm at the center with no rainfall. In a temperate cyclone, there is not a single place where winds and rains are inactive.
Temperate cyclone cover a larger area compared to tropical cyclone
Path of Tropical cyclones is east – West. Turn North at 200 latitude and west at 300 latitude.
Move away from equator.
The movement of Cyclones in Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal is a little different.
Here, these storms are superimposed upon the monsoon circulation of the summer months, and they move in northerly direction along with the monsoon currents. Whereas, temperate cyclones move west to east along with Westerlies and Jet streams.
