[78] Tropical cyclones also help maintain the global heat balance by moving warm, moist tropical air to the middle latitudes and polar regions.
In cities this source typically contributes 15-50 W m−2 to the local heat balance, and several hundred W m−2 in the center of large cities in cold climates and industrial areas. Compare urban heat island.
