This is how typhoons form: what is the difference with hurricanes?

Maite Knorr-Evans — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 09:15:37 GMT

The US is currently in the midst of hurricane season, which typically spans from June to November, bringing powerful storms that can cause extensive damage along the coastlines. Meanwhile, countries across Asia are experiencing typhoon season, with peak activity usually occurring from July to October. These formidable storms share many similarities, such as their formation over warm ocean waters and their potential to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding. However, they also differ in key ways, including their naming conventions, the areas they typically affect, and the specific atmospheric conditions that lead to their development.

Location

Typhoon: The term “typhoon” is used to describe tropical cyclones that form in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. This region includes areas such as the western Pacific Ocean, the South China Sea, and the Philippine Sea.

Hurricane: The term “hurricane” is used to describe tropical cyclones that form in the North Atlantic Ocean, the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, and the South Pacific Ocean. In the North Atlantic and central/eastern Pacific, hurricanes are referred to as “hurricanes,” while in the South Pacific, they are known as “cyclones.”

Terminology

Typhoon: The term “typhoon” is derived from the Cantonese word “tai fung,” meaning “big wind.” It is used predominantly in the western Pacific region.

Hurricane: The term “hurricane” comes from the indigenous Taino people of the Caribbean, who referred to a storm god called “Huracan.” This term is used mainly in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific regions.
