How Do Typhoons Occur? A typhoon is a region-specific term given to a type of tropical cyclone, usually occurring within the northwestern region of the Pacific Ocean, west of the International Date Line. These same systems in other regions are referred to as either hurricanes, or more generally, tropical cyclones.
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.
