Tropical cyclones with at least 74 mph winds are only differentiated as hurricanes, typhoons or the generic term "tropical cyclone," because of where they occur. If two storms with similar properties developed over the North Atlantic and Southwest Pacific Oceans, the former would be called a hurr...
Hurricanes, which are more broadly called "tropical cyclones" because they originate over Earth's tropical oceans, are some of nature's largest and fiercest storms. They get their name from Hurican, the Carib god of evil, according to theNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Wo...
A tropical cyclone represents one of the most mature stages in the development of a tropical disturbance. However, it is well-known that out of the numerous low pressure disturbances which form every year in different parts of the tropics, only a very small percentage develops into a mature ...
Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones carry a variety of acute and long-term public health risks. However, unlike some disaster scenarios where patterns of morbidity and mortality are relatively predictable, hurricanes have many variables, making it difficult to predict health outcomes with any ...

Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones strike Central American, Caribbean, Southeast Asian and Pacific Island nations even more frequently than the U.S. The global losses of life and property from the floods, landslides and debris flows caused by cyclonic storms are staggering. One of the keys to re...
Typhoons and hurricanes are the same weather phenomenon: tropical cyclones (热带气旋). However, they go by different names 1 where they occur. Typhoons develop in the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean. They most 2 occur from late June to December. When winds blow into warm seawater, a ...
Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones (hereafter TCs) refer to intense storms that start at sea over warm water and sometimes reach land. Since 1970, around 90 of these storms occur annually, causing large amounts of damage (Schreck et al.2014). The expected annual global damage from ...

No matter what they are called—cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons—the giant tropical storms that form in oceans near the Americas and Asia can be deadly, destructive and terrifyingly capricious.
