When winds exceed 93 miles per hour what does a tropical depression become?
A speed of 93 miles per hour has no significance in tropical systems. At 74 miles per hour a tropical storm becomes a category 1 hurricane. At 96 miles per hour a hurricane is considered to be a category 2.
What is the wind speed of a tropical depression tropical storm and hurricane?
Tropical Depression: An area of low pressure, rotary circulation of clouds and winds of 38 mph or less (33. kts or less)Tropical Storm: A storm characterized by counter-clockwise circulation of clouds and winds of 39 to 73 mph (34 to 64. kts)AnswerUnless you live in the Southern hemisphere where high pressure regions circulate in an anticlockwise fashion. In the Australian severe weather region a tropical cyclone must have 63 km/hrsustained winds and gusts to 90 km/hr. A severe tropical cyclone is 118 km/hr sustained 165 km/hr gusts.

What factors determine whether a storm is considered a tropical depression tropical storm or hurricane?
The determining factor is the sustained wind speed. If the tropical system has sustained winds of less than 39 miles per hour, then it is a tropical depression. If sustained winds are in the range of 39 to 73 mph, then it is a tropical storm. If sustained winds are 74 mph or faster, then it is a hurricane.
