Typhoons are known as tropical cyclones (or just "cyclones") in Australia.
Cyclone is the generic name for all of these tropical disturbances forming from intense low pressure systems. They are called "cyclone" in Australian waters, and rotate clockwise. Typhoons are actually just cyclones which form in Asian waters and the China Sea, whilst the same phenomena in the Americas are called hurricanes.

∙ 10y agoA tornado is still a tornado in Australia. The difference is that they occur far less often and with far less force than those found in North America.
A small non-tornadic whirlwind is known as a willy-willy. This is just a harmless, twisting wind which picks up dust, leaves and debris.

Australia has cyclones, not typhoons. They are the same weather phenomenon, except that the word 'cyclone' is used around Australia, in the water of the South pacific and the Indian oceans, while the term typhoon is generally used in the Asian region.
