Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The centre of a cyclone is a calm area and is called the eye of the storm because this eye is an area of very low air pressure, and due to this, there are no clouds in the eye, and the wind is calm. The edge of this eye, called the eye wall, is the most dangerous part of the eye.
The eye of the storm is almost circular, usually 30-65 km wide. A cyclone is surrounded by the eyewall, a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather and maximum winds occur.
