An extratropical cyclone is a cyclone connected with fronts. It also contains cold air at its core, making it different from tropical systems, which contain warm air. These storms can contain winds up to hurricane-force in strength and give mid-latitude areas much of their annual precipitation. A subtropical cyclone is a storm that contains both tropical and extratropical characteristics. In particular, it is non-frontal, and starts absorbing energy from latent heat.^[1]
