Approximately half of all tropical storms reach hurricane/typhoon strength. Whether a storm will intensify to such a level depends on what conditions it encounters. In some cases the water is not warm enough, dry air is present, or wind shear is too strong, all of which can limit a storm's strength. Sometimes a storm encounters such conditions or hits land before it has a chance to strengthen.
