How does a thunderstorm differ from a typhoon?

A cyclone is a large-scale rotating low pressure system with a defined center of circulation. They can bring strong winds, thunderstorms, and various precipitation depending on the kind of cyclone. A thunderstorm is any rainstorm that produces thunder and lighting. Thunderstorms are a smaller scale phenomenon than cyclones and generally do not rotate. When a thunderstorm does rotate, it is still a smaller-scale pattern than a cyclones, and is instead called a supercell. A rotating complex of thunderstorms may be considered a cyclone, however.

How long does it take for a hurricane to form from a thunderstorm?

A hurricane does not form from a single thunderstorm. A tornado does. Often a thunderstorm has upper-level rotation for at least half an hour or more before producing a tornado, however, some storms develop and become tornadic in less than 15 minutes.Hurricanes form from large, usually disorganized clusters of storms. It may take days for these clusters of storms to organize intro a tropical depression (tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph). It will usually be several more days before such a system reaches hurricane strength (winds of at least 74 mph).
