A tropical cyclone is a meteorological term for a storm system characterized by a low pressure system center and thunderstorms that produces strong wind and flooding rain. A tropical cyclone feeds on the heat released when moist air rises and the water vapor it contains condenses. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows, leading to their classification as "warm core" storm systems.

The adjective "tropical" refers to both the geographic origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively in tropical regions of the globe, and their formation in Maritime Tropical air masses. The noun "cyclone" refers to such storms' cyclonic nature, with counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere. Depending on their location and strength, tropical cyclones are referred to by various other names, such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, and tropical depression.

Warm water surface is the main source of energy for a hurricane.If it moves to higher latitudes and thereby enter into cold waters of sea or ocean ,there is a possibility of it getting weakened .So if the cold air covers a very large area over the oceans and cools the surface of the oceans sufficiently, the hurricane may get weakened.

when the hurricane hits cold water it will die not cold air unless it draws in cooler air from another pressure source. A hurricane needs warm water to form.
