A cyclone is any type of large scale, rotating low pressure system. These include hurricanes, tropical storms, mid-latitude lows, and polar lows. A tropical storm is, therefore, only one type of cyclone. It is weaker than a hurricane, having wind speeds between 39 and 73 miles per hour. Tropical storms and hurricanes fall into the category of "tropical cyclone."

Can a tropical storm be upgraded into a tropical cyclone?
