The basic difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane lies in the intensity of the cyclone. â¢ If the wind speeds of the cyclone are greater than 39 mph, it is referred to as a tropical storm. â¢ When the wind speeds become greater than 73 mph, the same cyclone becomes a hurricane (or a typhoon). â¢ When the wind speed remains below 38 mph, the cyclone is referred to as a tropical depression only.
