Pronunciation: [sʌbtɹˈɒpɪkə͡l sˈa͡ɪklə͡ʊn] (IPA) 
A subtropical cyclone is a weather phenomenon that is characterized by its combination of tropical cyclone and mid-latitude storm characteristics. Some synonyms for subtropical cyclones include subtropical storm, hybrid cyclone, and sub-tropical low-pressure system. Other related terms include tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane, which are all more purely tropical cyclones. Subtropical storms are typically weaker than tropical cyclones, but can still produce dangerous wind and precipitation conditions.

Understanding the behavior and characteristics of these storms is key to preparing and protecting communities at risk.
