1. Warm water around 26.5C 2. Water vapour is evaporated 3. As warm air rises, it expands, cools, condenses to form clouds. 4. Wind speeds increases towards the centre of the storm 5. Spun by the coriolis effect.

1. Low pressure belt around the equator 2. The ITCZ migrates between the tropics with the seasons.
