Warm sea

Low pressure air

Warm sea water evaporates

as it rises and condenses when it reaches

cool air higher up - called convection.

Warm air rising creates a

low-pressure area that draws

in high pressure air.

The clouds form rain bands that spin

and pick up speed around

the lower pressure “eye”.
