TYPHOON
A typhoon is a giant, rotating storm that brings wind, rain,
and destruction. Hurricanes and typhoons are both kinds of
tropical cyclones. 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, and is the most active tropical cyclone basin
on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of the world's
annual tropical cyclones.
