I am assuming you are getting ready for a cx interview.
-water surface temp at least 26.5 degrees celsius.
-between 5-15 degress latitude
-can cross the equator but will weaken very quickly upon crossing.
-temp. in the cyclone can be isa +25 or higher so performance degradation based on warmer temp.
-a google search, prune search or use of the AWARE wx manual on TC website should get you the rest of the info to fill in the blanks.
hope this helps and good luck.
