They are EX tropical cyclones, the tropical label gets dropped once it passes a certain latitude. They can still be a Cyclone, just not a Tropical one.

no, they are no longer a cyclone when the central pressure is above a certain level about 960 milibars, also wind strength which determines category 1 - 5, hence low wind and rain plenty of it

Tell the forest owners with millions of flattened trees it wasn't a cyclone.

That's where you are wrong the weather watch guy Philip Duncan keep saying that because it's lost it's tropical status it hasn't lost it's it's strength and one point when it was a New Zealand Waters after a come down past Auckland it got stronger than when it was at a tropical cyclone level that's what Philip Duncan message on the radio and on his website saying. Philip Dunn said when it comes ex-tropical cyclone it only loses it's tropical part not a cyclone part
