The inner most region of a hurricane, known as the eye, is characterized by the lowest atmospheric pressure at the surface and the warmest temperatures at the surface within the storm.

The eye forms in the center of the hurricane where air sinks. This descending air suppresses cloud formation, leading to clear or partly cloudy skies and calm conditions in contrast to the violent eyewall surrounding it. As the air descends, it warms adiabatically, resulting in warmer temperatures, especially at the surface. The central pressure in the eye is the lowest in the entire storm, a defining characteristic of intense tropical cyclones.

The eyewall, surrounding the eye, is the most intense part of the hurricane, containing the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall. The transition from the violent eyewall to the calm eye is often abrupt and dramatic for anyone experiencing it.
