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.
Hurricanes (by whatever name) are by far most common in the Pacific Ocean, with the western Pacific being most active. In some years, the Philippines are struck by more than 20 tropical storms and typhoons. The term applied to various storms depends on their location.ESTERN PACIFIC: The Western Pacific basin's hurricane season is mostly from July 1 to November 30, peaking in late August or early September, though storms can occur year-round.
