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.
Hurricanes occur in the North Atlantic and East Pacific Ocean where ever water is warm enough (generally around 80 degrees) and a few degrees north of the equator. Cyclones and typhoons are found farther west in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, though they are exactly the same type of storm. Hurricanes occur in the North Atlantic and East Pacific Ocean where ever water is warm enough (generally around 80 degrees) and a few degrees north of the equator.
