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.
Tropical cyclone is a generic term. In the northern hemisphere, where tropical cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean, and eastern Pacific Ocean they are called hurricanes and those in the Pacific Ocean west of the 180th meridian are called typhoons. Those in the southern Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean are simply called cyclones.
