In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are referred to as typhoons. The terminology varies based on the region, with "hurricane" used in the Atlantic and northeastern Pacific, while "cyclone" is used in the South Pacific and Indian ocean. Typhoons are essentially the same type of storm as hurricanes, characterized by strong winds and heavy rainfall. The classification is primarily geographic, reflecting the location where the storm occurs.
