In the western Pacific, cyclonic depressions, when the winds reach a specific speed, are called "typhoons." The same phenomenon in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific is called a hurricane, and in the Indian ocean, just a cyclone.
A storm with winds of 35-64 km/h would not be a typhoon. The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a typhoon is 119 km/h. A tropical system with winds of 35-64 km/h would be a tropical depression.
The words "cyclone" and "typhoon" are used interchangeably when referring to this weather phenomenon in the Philippines.
The most deadliest typhoon to hit Hong Kong was Typhoon Wanda in 1962. Typhoon Wanda had killed millions of people and destroyed many houses. It was very difficult to recover the damage of Typhoon Wanda.
it was the super typhoon pongsona on December 8 2002. it ended at December 11 2002. the wind speed was 110 mph. it was the biggest typhoon Guam had ever had. the damagecosted more then any other typhoon in Guam. this typhoon hit the micronesia,Korea and part of japan.
A hurricane is a type of cyclone, so that's what Katrina would have been. A typhoon is the same thing as a hurricane, only occurring in the western Pacific Ocean.
The next typhoon after Typhoon Auring in the Philippines would be named Typhoon Bising.
No, Hurricanes are called typhoons in the east. So in Japan a hurricane would be called a typhoon.
Generally speaking, No. It is extremely rare for Greece to have a typhoon, but it is not, strictly speaking, impossible. Even then, if a typhoon-type storm were to strike Greece it would not be called a typhoon; it would be a tropical cyclone. The term typhoon is reserved for tropical cyclones that occur in the western Pacific Ocean.
How I wish there would be no typhoon coming in 2011, but if there is so... then.. will give me chance to name it.. il name it as "ZAUCHEQUCCINO"
typhoon
A Typhoon is a name used in East Asia for a hurricane. It is a type of tropical cyclone occurring in the western regions of the Pacific Ocean. A typhoon is similar to a hurricane in levels of destructiveness. The word typhoon comes from the Chinese term tai-fung meaning great wind. See "What is a cyclone?" for a fuller definition.A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean between 180° and 100°E
In the China area Hurricanes are called Typhoons. (so no, strictly a Hurricane could not hit Kunming). As regards a Typhoon, Kunming is quite a way inland from the sea and as the energy which powers a Typhoon (or Hurricane) comes form the sea, the strength of the storm would have dissipated by the time the centre came over Kunming (it would probably not be strong enough to be classified as a Typhoon by then). Therefore it is unlikely that a full power Typhoon would hit Kunming.
The Eurofighter Typhoon is a 'canard' , that is, an aircraft that has an elevator or small wing AHEAD of the main wing. This is particularly obvious in the Typhoon, and it's competitor, Rafale,
Typhoon originates in the Greek for their monster Typhoon the storm giant.
A storm with winds of 35-64 km/h would not be a typhoon. The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a typhoon is 119 km/h. A tropical system with winds of 35-64 km/h would be a tropical depression.
The noun 'typhoon' is a count noun, the plural form is 'typhoons'. There can be one typhoon, several typhoons, or a series of typhoons.
