Tropical cyclones or hurricanes are intense disturbances in the atmosphere with expressed spiraling air flow. They are the most intense natural disasters on Earth. The aim of this work is to show all elements related to tropical cyclones and hurricanes for their origin, movement, physical structure, classification and terminology, and to evaluate the possibilities of their forecasts and alerts to the population, especially seafarers.Tropical cyclones are classified into three main groups based on intensity. Hurricane Bloh, Dean, and Katrina are among the most developed hurricanes that have caused great damage. Intensive tropical cyclones represent a major challenge for observation. Precise predictions of the tropical cyclone path depend on determining the position and intensity of high and low pressure areas throughout the tropical cycle. Some world centers are responsible for seafarers' warning of the occurrence of tropical cyclones. The availability and quality of these warnings has a major impact on the safety of navigation.
