typhoon vs. hurricane vs. monsoon?

Question

What are the differences in these storms? or are they different names for the same thing?

Answer 1

A 'MONSOON' is the same for a seasonal wind. It had its origins around the Arabian Sea, where winds blow from the northeast for six months of the year, then from the southwest for the other six months of the year.
The term is now used in other parts of the world.

In the United States, the 'MONSOON SEASON' occurs when summer's upper-level ridge of high pressure sets up over the Great Plains, and the clockwise flow around it sends humidity from the Gulf Coast region back into and across the Desert Southwest. Suddenly, normally arid places such as Phoenix, Las Vegas and Palm Springs have just enough humidity in the air for thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon hours which then last into the evening hours. This normally takes place from late July through August, lasting into September. Some years, it's more noticeable than others. Some years it lasts longer than others. This year, with the upper-level ridge so huge and strong it has started earlier than normal.


a typhoon is just what they call a hurricane in the pacific. Both hurricanes and typhoons are tropical cyclones. Hurricanes are a bit more specifically defined than typhoons. The American Heritage dictionary defines a hurricane as a severe tropical cyclone originating in the equatorial regions of the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea, traveling north, northwest, or northeast from its point of origin, and usually involving heavy rains. The same source describes a typhoon as a tropical cyclone occurring in the western Pacific or Indian oceans

Answer 4

Monsoon=cyclone=hurricane=tropical storm=typhoon

Answer 5

Typhoon and hurricane are different terms for tropical cyclones. Typhoons are often larger beause they have the larger Pacific Ocean to draw energy from.

Properly speaking, monsoons are winds which come onto continental masses at certain times of the year because of differential heating. Because they come off the ocean, these winds are laden with moisture and cause heavy rains and often flooding. The rain itself is often called a 'monsoon' even though this is technically incorrect. It isn't a storm, it's a weather pattern.

Answer 10

typhoons and hurricanes are the same thing, and the only difference between them and monsoons is that they come with VERY strong winds and resulting tornadoes and the storm surge coming off the ocean, monsoons just come off the ocean rather slowly and dump torrential amounts of rain.
