In different parts of the world, tropical cyclones are known as hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, typhoons in the northwestern Pacific, and cyclones in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
Very large tropical cyclones with high winds are called hurricanes in the Atlantic and northeastern Pacific, typhoons in the northwestern Pacific, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific.
Cyclones in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific are called hurricanes, in the Northwest Pacific they are called typhoons, in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean they are called cyclones, and in the South Atlantic and southeastern South Pacific they are called tropical cyclones.
There are no tropical cyclones that form in the Pacific Northwest and travel west. Tropical cyclones typically form in tropical regions and move towards the west, north, or northwest. The Pacific Northwest, which includes states like Washington and Oregon, is too far north for tropical cyclone formation.
The three tropical cyclones are hurricanes (Atlantic and eastern Pacific), typhoons (western Pacific), and cyclones (South Pacific and Indian Ocean). Each region uses a different name, but they are all essentially the same weather phenomenon.

In the Pacific they are called typhoons. Generically, hurricanes and typhoons are both tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal, synoptic scale, low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation.
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.

The Baja peninsula lies directly below the US states of California and Arizona. It is bordered by the Gulf of California to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is commonly struck by tropical cyclones.

hurricanes typhoons and cyclones........... your welcome
A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean.
Yes, Tropical Cyclones are popular all over the South Pacific. From November to April are cyclone predicted months.
Americans tend to call them Hurricanes and in Asia they usually call the Typhoons.
