A typhoon is a type of tropical cyclone that forms over the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. It has winds that can exceed 155 mph (250 km/h). A hurricane is also a type of tropical cyclone, but it forms in the Atlantic Ocean and has winds that can exceed 125 mph (200 km/h). A cyclone is simply a generic term for any low-pressure system that rotates around a center of circulation.
