It depends on 3 things.
Storms of the same type west of the date line are called typhoons and ones south of the equator are called cyclones. The only country in the world that has hurricanes on the Pacific Ocean is Mexico, no other, none, we have them all, you like everybody else have them over our gulf, The Gulf of Mexico, but we have the largest Pacific sea board in America, so we get all the storms which we always call Huricanes.
In Japan, hurricanes are called typhoons.
The generic term correct term for a hurricanes is tropical cyclone. This is the generic term that covers tropical storms of both the northern and Southern Hemisphere. Strong tropical cyclones in the Americas are called hurricanes, and tropical cyclones in Asian waters and the China Sea are called typhoons.
It depends on what part of the Pacific they are in. North of the equator such storms are called hurricanes in the northeastern Pacific and typhoons in the western Pacific. South of the equator they are called tropical cyclones or severe tropical cyclones depending on their intensity.
Over the eastern Pacific, they are called hurricanes.
Over the northwest Pacific, they are called typhoons.
Over the southwest Pacific, they are called cyclones.
Severe Tropical Storm Talas approached Japan on September 1, 2011.
They are called 'taifuu'.
tropical storm
it often occurs during september.
Typhoon
Storms that are similar to hurricanes are called typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean north of the equator.
The hurricanes, are also know as typhoon's, but the word hurricane, is western, it comes from the ancient Olmecs, who had a wind god, called huracan, so when the Spanish saw the storm, they used the local word for it, and it is in use to this day.
From June through November, with September being especially active.
Such storms are overall called tropical cyclones. They go by different names in different regions. In the Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific they are called hurricanes. In the western Pacific they are called typhoons. In the southern Pacific and Indian Oceans they simply are called cyclones.
Hurricanes in the western Pacific are called typhoons. Due to the manner in which ocean currents spiral, water tends to be warmer and therefore more favorable for storms such as typhoons in the western part of an ocean. Since they occur in the tropics, hurricanes tend to move toward the west which, in the western part of an ocean, would bring them toward land and populated areas. Many of these storms encounter countries that feature a combination of high population density and poor construction, which is a recipe for disaster.
A Hurricane or a Typhoon or a Cyclone.
Pacific Ocean intense tropical storms are called cyclones. In the Atlantic they are called hurricanes.
Tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes and similar storms) are most common in the western portions of oceans in the tropics. Such storms are called hurricanes in the Atlantic ocean and the eastern Pacific hurricane.
They are called by the name "Typhoons". Until they are mature, they are cyclonic storms

Such storms are overall called tropical cyclones. They go by different names in different regions. In the Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific they are called hurricanes. In the western Pacific they are called typhoons. In the southern Pacific and Indian Oceans they simply are called cyclones.
Violent tropical storms in the western Pacific Ocean are called Typhoons. The same type of storm in the West Indies and Caribbean Sea are called hurricanes.
In the Far East, a hurricane is called a typhoon. Hurricanes and typhoons are types of tropical cyclones. In other regions of the world, such as the Caribbean area or parts of the North Atlantic Ocean, these storms are called hurricanes.
