Extratropical cyclones, commonly known as mid-latitude cyclones, primarily occur in the temperate regions of the world.
Extratropical storms are influenced by the clash between cold polar air masses and warm tropical air masses, resulting in significant weather changes.
Unlike tropical cyclones, extratropical cyclones can generate varied weather patterns, including heavy rainfall, snowfall, severe thunderstorms, and strong winds.
As extratropical cyclones advance eastward, they often undergo a process called cyclogenesis, which intensifies their strength and organization.
