What is BOMB Cyclone ?
or Bombogene-sis
Bombogenesis is a storm (low pressure area) that undergoes rapid strengthening.

The storm can be tropical or non-tropical in nature.
The term bombogenesis comes from the merging of two words: bomb and cyclogenesis.
All storms are cyclones, and genesis means the creation or beginning.
In this case, bomb refers to explosive development. Altogether the term means explosive storm strengthening.
A cyclone (non-tropical storm or hurricane) is essentially a giant rising column of air that spins counterclockwise over the Northern Hemisphere.
Storms that undergo bombogenesis are among the most violent weather systems that affect a broad area
