typhoon:

Typhoon is a kind of tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclone is a low-pressure vortex occurring on the tropical or subtropical ocean surface, which is a strong and deep tropical weather system. China classifies tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and the Northwest Pacific into six grades according to the maximum average wind speed (wind speed) near the bottom center. Those near the center with a wind force of 12 or more are collectively called typhoons. In a broad sense, typhoon is not a tropical cyclone intensity. Tropical cyclones (including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons defined by the World Meteorological Organization) with sustained wind speeds of 17.2 meters per second or more in the center are called typhoons. In informal occasions, typhoon even directly refers to tropical cyclone itself. When a tropical cyclone in the northwest Pacific reaches the strength of a tropical storm, it is given a name. The name is provided by 14 countries and regions of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization.
