Midlatitude cyclones typically form in the midlatitudes, between 30° and 60° latitude, in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They usually develop along the polar front, where cold polar air masses collide with warmer air from the tropics. This interaction creates areas of low pressure that lead to the characteristic swirling storms associated with midlatitude cyclones. They are often associated with frontal systems, leading to cloud formation, precipitation, and varying weather patterns.
Which is most correct. Where do midlatitude cyclones typically form?
