What will Chennai witness in the EYE of Vardah

December 12, 2016 17:52

The eye of a cyclone is generally between 20-50km in diameter.

The eye is the focus of the cyclone, the point about which the rest of the storm rotates and where the lowest surface pressures are found in the storm.

Skies are often clear above the eye and winds are relatively light. It is actually the calmest section of any cyclone.

A common mistake, especially in areas where cyclones are uncommon, is for residents to wander outside to inspect the damage while the eye passes over, thinking the storm is over.

They are then caught completely by surprise by the violent winds in the opposite eyewall.
