Hurricanes and typhoons are the same weather phenomenon: tropical cyclones. ... The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a typhoon. Meanwhile, in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the generic term tropical cyclone is used, regardless of the strength of the wind associated with the weather system.

Typhoons are tropical cyclones - low pressure systems that form in seas near the equator - that form in the Western Pacific. The term comes from a Chinese word that means “Great Wind,” which is fitting, for obvious reasons. The term “hurricane” partly derives itself from the name of a Caribbean storm god.

Well, they are all basically the same thing, but are given different names depending on where they appear. Hurricanes are tropical storms that form over the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific. Cyclones are formed over the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. Typhoons are formed over the Northwest Pacific Ocean.

A characteristic feature of tropical cyclones is the eye, a central region of clear skies, warm temperatures, and low atmospheric pressure. Typically, atmospheric pressure at the surface of Earth is about 1,000 millibars.

A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone that has maximum sustained surface winds ranging from 39-73 mph (34 to 63 knots). A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that has maximum sustained surface winds of 74 mph or greater (64 knots or greater).

A Tropical Storm Watch is issued when a tropical cyclone containing winds of 34 to 63 kt (39 to 73 mph) or higher poses a possible threat, generally within 48 hours. These winds may be accompanied by storm surge, coastal flooding, and/or river flooding. The watch does not mean that tropical storm conditions will occur.

0-38 mph — Tropical depressions are weak tropical cyclones with maximum sustained winds up to 38 miles per hour. ... Tropical storms can cause damage due to high winds and flooding rains. > 73 mph — Hurricanes are tropical cyclones with maximum sustained winds from 74 miles per hour or higher.

They are all the same thing: tropical storms. ... In the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific, they are called hurricanes. But if the same type of disturbance takes place in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, it is known as a typhoon. And in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, cyclone is the correct term.

In the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific, the term 'hurricane' is used; whereas the same disturbance is called a 'typhoon' in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and a 'tropical cyclone' - or sometimes a 'severe tropical cyclone' or 'severe cyclonic storms' - in the South Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Of the 36 deadliest tropical cyclones in the world, 27 have arisen to India's East. Wind patterns in the Arabian Sea to India's West keep oceans cooler, resulting in fewer storms. ... The stretch between Puri and Bhadrak in Odisha juts out a little into the sea, making it vulnerable to any cyclonic activity.

The Equator is the hottest part of the Earth. When air rises at the Equator, this leads to low pressure and rainfall. ... Global atmospheric circulation creates winds across the planet and leads to areas of high rainfall, like tropical rainforests, and areas of dry air, like deserts.

Hurricanes rarely make landfall on the Hawaiian islands, but tropical cyclones in the Pacific Ocean occasionally come close enough to make an impact. Hurricane Hector passed 200 miles south of Hawaii in August 2018, but still produced 20-foot waves and dangerous surf in Oahu.

A tropical cyclone generates winds that exceed 119 km (74 miles) per hour, while super cyclones have wind speeds that cross 220km per hour. They are "multi-hazard" occurrences where strong winds cause physical damage, and tidal waves and heavy rains cause flooding.
