Is A typhoon the same as a hurricane?
In the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific oceans, the term 'hurricane' is used, whereas in the Northwest Pacific Ocean they are called 'typhoons. ' The name 'tropical cyclone' – or sometimes 'severe tropical cyclone' or 'severe cyclonic storm' – is used in the South Pacific and Indian oceans.
