The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.
A Hurricane or a Typhoon or a Cyclone.
No. The name Brandon has not appeared on any naming lists for tropical cyclones.
First we must cover the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon, which is only one of location. A hurricane occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or in the northern Pacific Ocean east of the International Date Line. A typhoon occurs in the northern Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line. A major hurricane is a hurricane of at least category 3 strength on the Saffir-Simpson scale, that is with winds of at least 111 mph. Super typhoon is an unofficial category for a typhoon with winds of at least 150 mph, which is equivalent to a strong category 4 hurricane.
There actually isn't a hurricane season in the far east. In the Asian Pacific it is called the Pacific typhoon season. The typical occurrences of tropical cyclones happen between May and October.
The term typhoon is reserved for intense tropical cyclones occurring in the western Pacific ocean. Such a storm occurring in the Atlantic basin, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, is called a hurricane.
A Hurricane or a Typhoon or a Cyclone.
A Bora is not a cyclone. Tornadoes more features in common with cyclones, but they are technically not cyclones either.
a tornado, typhoon, cyclone, twister, and hurricane are pretty much the same.
No. The name Brandon has not appeared on any naming lists for tropical cyclones.
A tsunami is a wave resultant from a storm. However, cyclones and typhoons are very similar with cyclones occurring in the western hemisphere and typhoons in the eastern. The major difference is that the eye of a cyclone is round, whereas the eye of a typhoon is slanted.
Yes. Hurricane and typhoon are just special names for intense tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones occur in both the northern and southern hemisphere, though the terms hurricane and typhoon are only used for storms in particular ocean basins in the northern hemisphere.
Typhoon Tip was categorized as a Category 5 super typhoon, which is the highest intensity level on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It is considered one of the most intense tropical cyclones on record.

Typhoon Tip was larger than Hurricane Ivan. Typhoon Tip holds the record for the largest tropical cyclone ever recorded, although there may have been a larger storm before there was reliable instruments and records of hurricanes and tropical cyclones. Typhoon Tip was about the size of half of the continental United States, while Hurricane Ivan was actually more typical sized for a strong category 5 hurricane.
No. A typhoon is essentially the same thing as a hurricane, the difference is where in the world they occur. A hurricane is a storm that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific. A typhoon is the same type of storm in the western Pacific. Making landfall does not make a difference. However, a hurricane that crosses into the western Pacific becomes a typhoon and a typhoon that crosses into the eastern Pacific becomes a hurricane, though this is less common.
A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone ,which is a generic term for a low pressure system that generally forms in the tropics.A hurricane is an intense, rotating oceanic weather system.
Typhoon is another name for a hurricane. Both terms refer to tropical cyclones that form over warm ocean waters and can cause strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surges. The term used depends on the region where the cyclone forms.
