They are all the same. They are called differently in different region. In the pacific ocean they are called a typhoon, in the indian ocean, they are called a cyclone and in the atlantic ocean/carribian they are called a hurricane.
However, some people say that hurricane and typhoon are a names for a stronger cyclone.

The order is cyclone,typhoon and hurricane.
Associated wind speed of a cyclone should be a minimum of 34 Knots,that of typhoon 56 knots and that of the hurricane 64 Knots.

definite I agree that those words could be difficult. at first Hurricanes, Typhoons and Cyclones are each and every of the comparable. all of them are available in from the sea and are powered with the aid of the warmth waters, that's the reason why we don't get them in the united kingdom. Hurricanes are what English people call them. Typhoons are jap and Cyclones are the different Asians. Tornadoes are thoroughly distinctive they arrive whilst warm air and funky air meet and puncture a layer above and then a tornado starts off to seem and come out of the clouds and hits the Earth Please don't get mixed up between those 2 they are like opposites to a minimum of one yet another.

They are all names for intense storms that develop in warm waters around the globe. Hurricanes develop in the Atlantic and would probably be less powerful since the area of warm water is smaller. The other 2 are found in the Indian and Pacific (not sure which occurs where) and have much more warm water to work with. So, they tend to be stronger.

Typhoon and hurricane are different words for the same thing.
A typhoon is in the pacific and a hurricane is in the Atlantic.
