HURRICANES, TYPHOONS & TROPICAL CYCLONES
Hurricanes, Typhoons and Tropical Cyclones are essentially the same weather phenomenon. They are all large tropical storm systems that revolve around an area of low pressure and produce heavy rain and wind speeds exceeding 74 mph (119 kph). The difference in their names is purely geographic.
Called 'Hurricanes' when they develop over the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, these rotating storms are known as 'Cyclones' when they form over the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, and 'Typhoons' when they develop in the Northwest Pacific.
