Rapid extratropical cyclone development, called explosive cyclogenesis, is often associated with major winter storms and occurs when surface pressure falls by more than about 24 millibars per day. |
Explosive cyclogenesis occurs when weather systems leave the relative stability of the US mainland and head east towards the Gulf Stream. |
Explosive cyclogenesis is defined as when the central pressure of a low falls by more than 24mb in 24 hours. |
The low developed off the coast of Japan, one of the areas of cyclogenesis that affects this area. |
A cyclogenesis system is moving far north of the UK and is expected to pass over Ireland as it moves slowly eastwards towards Iceland. |
