Tropical cyclones, also called typhoons and hurricanes, usually occur at predictable times of year in distinct parts of the world. Tropical storms lose their strength as they move over land. The range of error in the forecast of the path of a tropical storm can be significant.
A âSuper Typhoonâ is the equivalent of a very strong category 4 or a category 5 Hurricane. Despite being the same as individual storms, there are also some important differences for the people living in these different regions. Because of the very large expanse of warm, tropical ocean in the western Pacific and other global atmospheric patterns, typhoons are more common than hurricanes. On average, there are 25 to 30 storms that rise to the status of a named typhoon every year, and only 6-10 that become named hurricanes. The likelihood of a storm gaining strength to become either kind of named storm depends in part on large-scale atmospheric patterns as well as ocean temperatures.
