    A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops between 180° and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere, in the region referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, which is the most active tropical cyclone basin. The northern Pacific Ocean is divided into three regions for forecasting purposes: eastern, central, and western. While the RSMC in Japan names each typhoon, 18 countries in the affected region coordinate the main name lists. A typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, while hurricanes occur in the Atlantic or northeastern Pacific and tropical cyclones occur in the South Pacific or Indian Ocean.

    A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops between 180° and

    100°E in the Northern Hemisphere. This region is referred to as the


    Northwestern Pacific Basin,[1] and is the most active tropical cyclone
    basin on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of the world's annual
    tropical cyclones. For organizational purposes, the northern Pacific
    Ocean is divided into three regions: the eastern (North America to
    140°W), central (140°W to 180°), and western (180° to 100°E). The
    Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) for tropical cyclone
    forecasts is in Japan, with other tropical cyclone warning centers for the
    northwest Pacific in Hawaii (the Joint Typhoon Warning Center), the
    Philippines and Hong Kong. While the RSMC names each system, the
    main name list itself is coordinated among 18 countries that have
    territories threatened by typhoons each year.[2] A hurricane is a storm
    that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or the northeastern Pacific Ocean, a
    typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, and a tropical
    cyclone occurs in the South Pacific or the Indian Ocean.[2

    Agency monitor typhoon

    Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical


    Services Administration (PAGASA) PAGASA is an agency under the
    Department of Science and Technology (DOST). It provides real-time
    updates about the weather and typhoon alerts.

    What is the Philippines prone to typhoons

    Why is the Philippines prone to typhoons? It is because the Philippines


    is geographically located along the Pacific region near the Equator
    which is prone to tropical cyclones and storms.
    What condition favour the formation of
    tyhoons
    Like any tropical cyclone, there are a few main requirements for
    typhoon formation and development: (1) sufficiently warm sea surface
    temperatures, (2) atmospheric instability, (3) high humidity in the lower
    to middle levels of the troposphere, (4) enough Coriolis effect to
    develop a low pressure center, (5) a pre- ...

    The conditions favor for a typhoon to form is it needs the f.f. warm
    water winds colliding and air pressure

    What are the diffenrent tropical cyclone categories


    1 Tropical Cyclone. Less than 125 km/h. Gales. Minimal house
    damage. ...
    2 Tropical Cyclone. 125 - 164 km/h. Destructive winds. ...
    3 Severe Tropical Cyclone. 165 - 224 km/h. Very destructive winds. ...
    4 Severe Tropical Cyclone. 225 - 279 km/h. Very destructive winds. ...
    5 Severe Tropical Cyclone. More than 280 km/h. Extremely
    destructive winds.

    What is PAR
    Philippine Area of Responsibility. The Philippine Area of Responsibility
    (PAR) is an area in the Northwestern Pacific where PAGASA, the
    Philippines' national meteorological agency monitors weather
    occurrences.
