    Tropical storms, typhoons, and hurricanes are all tropical cyclones that form over the ocean.

    Tropical Storms: 1A tropical cyclone that formed in the Bay of Bengal.

    2.Tropical cyclones are classified according to their classification:

    Tropical Depression (Category 7) - Tropical Storm (Category 8-9) - Severe Tropical Storm (Category 9-11) - Typhoon (Category 12-13) - Severe Typhoon (Category 14-15) - Super Typhoon (Category 16 and above).

    Typhoon: Broadly refers to a tropical cyclone that occurs over the northwest Pacific Ocean, and narrowly refers to a tropical cyclone of magnitude 12-13.

    Hurricane: A tropical cyclone that occurs in the North Atlantic, and hurricanes are classified according to their classification.

    In fact, they are all weather phenomena that can bring violent storms, but people around the world have different names for it (including the difference in the magnitude of the wind).

    Different countries have different names for tropical cyclones, with China and East Asia as typhoons, Atlantic as hurricanes, Indian Ocean as tropical storms, and Australia as typhoons"willie"Wind.

    The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) defines and classifies tropical cyclones as Category 4 based on the maximum mean wind near their centre

    Wind force < 8 is a tropical depression; Wind force 8 9 is a tropical storm; Wind force 10 11 is a severe tropical storm; Wind force 12 is classified as a typhoon or hurricane.

    Typhoons and hurricanes are tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere, but because they occur in different seas and are called by different names in different countries. In the Northern Hemisphere, cyclones that form over the oceans east of the International Date Line to the Greenwich meridian are called hurricanes, while tropical cyclones that form over the oceans west of the International Date Line are called typhoons. Generally speaking, tropical cyclones that form in the Atlantic Ocean are called hurricanes, while tropical cyclones that form in the Pacific Ocean are called typhoons.

    In fact, typhoon rain and tropical storms are a kind of tropical cyclone, and tropical storms are also a type of typhoon, but the difference is that the intensity is different, and tropical cyclones will only be numbered when they develop into tropical storms, and the average maximum wind strength at the bottom near the center of the tropical storm is 8--9, and the typhoon is 12--13.

    A typhoon is a type of tropical cyclone. A tropical cyclone is a low-pressure vortex that occurs over the tropical or subtropical oceans and is a powerful and deep "tropical weather system".

    China divides tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and the Northwest Pacific into six categories according to the magnitude of the maximum average wind force (wind speed) near the center of the bottom layer, of which the wind force near the center is 12 or above, collectively referred to as typhoons.

    Broadly speaking, the term "typhoon" is not a tropical cyclone intensity. Tropical cyclones (including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons as defined by the World Meteorological Organization) with sustained winds of metres per second or more at their centre are referred to as typhoons.

    Officially, the term "typhoon" even refers directly to the tropical cyclone itself. Tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific reach tropical storm intensity, they are given a name. Names are provided by 14 countries and territories of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee.

    According to the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the number of typhoons in the Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea between 1959 and 2004 was related to the month, with an average of one typhoon per year, with the most typhoons occurring in August of the Gregorian calendar, followed by July and September.

    Typhoon is the name given to a tropical cyclone in an Asian country or region in the northwest Pacific Ocean. According to the World Meteorological Organization, typhoons are meteorologically the highest classification of tropical cyclones.

    Classification is based on the maximum winds near the centre of the tropical cyclone.

    According to the international practice, the maximum wind force near its center is divided into:

    Tropical depression, maximum wind speed 6 7, ( m s);

    Tropical storm (tropicalstorm), maximum wind speed 8 9, (;

    Severe tropical storm, maximum wind speed 10 11, (;

    Typhoon (ty-phoon), maximum wind speed 12 13, (;

    Severe typhoon with a maximum wind speed of 14 and 15 (;

    Super typhoon with a maximum wind speed of 16 ( .

    The difference between a tropical storm and a typhoon is the magnitude of the wind. Tropical storm: wind speed 17 2 m sec to 24 m 4 m sec, maximum wind force 8 to 9 near the center; Typhoon:

    Wind speed 32 7 m sec to 41 4 m sec, maximum wind force 12 to 13 near the center; Tropical storms and typhoons are included and contained, and tropical storms are a type of typhoon. Typhoon Kaijing is actually a strong tropical cyclone. A tropical cyclone is a severe weather system that occurs in the tropical oceans and moves forward with the surrounding atmosphere like a vortex in a flowing river.

    Yes, a tropical storm is a type of tropical cyclone that is a tropical cyclone with a maximum wind force of 8-9 (meters and seconds) on the ground near its center. Tropical storms are the starting level of the "typhoon number".

    1. Typhoon: maximum wind speed 12 13, (m seconds).

    2. Tropical storm: maximum wind speed 8 9, (m s).

    3. Severe tropical storm: maximum wind speed 10 11, (m s).

    4. Tropical depression: maximum wind speed 6 7, (m s).

    5. Strong typhoon: maximum wind speed 14 15 (m s).

    6. Super typhoon: maximum wind speed of 16 (meters and seconds).

    Typhoon Warning Signal:

    There are three levels of typhoon warning signals, which are indicated by blue, yellow eggplant pomace, and orange.

    The Blue Typhoon Warning Signal indicates that a tropical cyclone may be or has been affected within 24 hours, with an average wind force of 6 or higher along the coast or land, or gusts of 8 or more and may continue.

    The Yellow Typhoon Warning Signal indicates that a tropical cyclone may be or has been affected within 24 hours, with loud winds of 8 or more or more along the coast or on land, or gusts of 10 or more and may continue.

    The Orange Typhoon Warning Signal indicates that a tropical cyclone is likely to be or has been affected within 12 hours, with winds of 10 or more or more along the coast or on land, or gusts of 12 or more and may continue.

    First, there are differences in the causes of formation.

    1. Tropical storm: formed from the development of a pre-existing tropical depression disturbance.

    2. Hurricanes: The warm sea water that causes the sea surface low pressure area is the key factor for the formation of hurricanes; Warm ocean surface with sea temperatures above.

    3. Tornado: Wind shear and significant vertical movement or unstable energy in the near old buried ground, thunderstorm (liquid thunderstorm) is an ideal environment that can meet the above conditions; Low-intensity atmospheric discharges, similar to lightning, are not the same as typhoons.

    4. Typhoon: The sea surface water temperature is above; a certain initial perturbation of positive vorticity; The ambient wind has less shear in the vertical direction; Low pressure or cloud disturbances at least a few degrees of latitude from the equator.

    Second, the characteristics are different.

    1. Tropical storms: During the season of active tropical cyclones, tropical depressions often occur on the ocean surface at low latitudes, but only a few of them can develop into tropical storms.

    2. Hurricanes: There is an eye in the center of the hurricane, and the smaller the eye of the storm, the greater the destructive power.

    3. Tornadoes: Tornadoes are usually extremely fast, and the wind speed of 100 meters per second is not surprising, even reaching more than 175 meters per second, which is greater than a 12-level typhoon.

    Five, six times. 4. Typhoon: strong and extremely destructive.

    3. The occurrence area is different.

    1. Tropical storms: tropical oceans.

    2. Hurricanes: Atlantic and Indian Ocean regions.

    3. Tornado: Tornadoes can be found in tropical and temperate regions, including the interior of the Americas, western Australia, and the northeast of the Indian Peninsula.

    4. Typhoon: tropical or subtropical ocean.

    Typhoons are more powerful than tropical storms.

    Because a tropical storm with a magnitude of 8-9 and a typhoon above 12 magnitude. A tropical storm is a type of tropical cyclone that refers to a tropical cyclone with a maximum wind force of 8-9 meters and seconds on the ground near its center. Tropical storms are the starting level of the "typhoon number".

    For ease of application and external service, tropical storms, severe tropical storms, typhoons, severe typhoons and super typhoons are sometimes referred to collectively as "typhoons".

    Tropical storms and typhoons have different characteristics and can be distinguished according to the characteristics of both.

    1. Typhoon characteristics:

    A typhoon is a classification of tropical cyclones in countries or regions north of the equator and west of the date line. In meteorology, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization, a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 12 at its centre is called a hurricane. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMAA) have adopted this as the highest level for tropical cyclones, but some meteorological departments have established higher levels as needed.

    2. Characteristics of Tropical Storms:

    A tropical storm is a type of tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 63 to 87 kilometres per hour near its centre, i.e. winds of gale force. It is the most destructive of all natural disasters. A tropical storm is a type of typhoon that refers to a tropical cyclone with a maximum wind force of 8 to 9 at its centre.

    Ways to protect against tropical storms

    Tropical storms often occur in coastal areas, causing strong winds, heavy rains, and high waves, which have a strong destructive effect on coastal urban facilities, ships going to sea, and agricultural production in coastal areas.

    1.Pay attention to the weather forecast and prepare for it.

    2.The parts of the house that need to be reinforced should be strengthened in time, and the doors and windows should be closed.

    3.Prepare food, drinking water, lighting, rain gear and necessary medicines to prevent accidents.

    4.Dredging drainage and drainage facilities to keep them unobstructed.

    5.When a tropical storm arrives, stay indoors as much as possible and limit going out.

    6.In case of strong winds and lightning, use electrical appliances with caution to prevent electric shock.

    7.Pay close attention to the surrounding environment, and move in time when there are floods, landslides and other situations that endanger the safety of housing.

    8.After the storm, it is necessary to pay attention to hygiene and epidemic prevention to reduce the spread of diseases.
