Great video. Just one note, I think you say "Hurricanes and other tropical storms can only be called these when their winds reach 74 MPH, otherwise they are just a really bad storm". To clarify, a tropical storm is called a "tropical storm" when a tropical depression (or system) becomes more developed and has sustained winds of 39 MPH. A "hurricane" is a tropical storm that has strengthened and has sustained winds of 74+ MPH. So a really bad storm in the Atlantic tropical system category would be a tropical depression with sustained winds less than 39 MPH.

@stuartaaron613

What doesn't make sense is that the 74+ MPH rule only applies to hurricanes and typhoons. As for cyclones (tropical cyclones) they are called cyclones once the 39+ MPH speed is reached (they aren't called tropical storms).

The international governmental weather services have divided the world into separate zones each with a particular agency in charge of monitoring, clasifying, and making official statements about the tropical storm in their respective zones. The USA is responsible for the North Atlantic Ocean and the eastern part of the North Pacific Ocean out to 180 degrees longitude. India us responsible for the North Indian Ocean, including the Bay of Bengal. Japan is responsible for the western part of the North Pacific Ocean. The western part of the South Indian Ocean is covered by France from their island possession La Réunion. Australia covers the eastern part of the South Indian Ocean and the part of the South Pacific immediately off its coast. Fiji and New Zealand share responsibility for the rest of the South Pacific Ocean. There are a few additional ones that cover smaller subset of these regions. Each of these regional authorities set their own policies on how to clarify and name the storms. That is why the definition of a Typhoon (set by Japan) is different from a Hurricane (set by the USA).

Well, not all of them must be formed in the tropics. Tropical cyclones can form as long as there is an existing turbulent weather/rotating clouds (a.k.a a tropical wave), if ocean temperature is above 26°C, and if there is little to no wind shears. So they can basically form all the way up north as the Azores if they want to.

@@user-ok1ks5ks9t ～ Because typhoon in 漢字 traditional Chinese characters is 颱風. 台风 is simplified (short-form), which is derived from the traditional (long-form). The ambiguity comes from simplifying the written characters of languages that contain a lot of homophones (which Mandarin and other dialects of Chinese are) by reducing a character to only the component that corresponds to its pronunciation. The “tai” in Taiwan is actually 臺 but often simplified as 台. The “tai” in typhoon is actually 颱 but gets simplified as 台 by Chinese Mainland, etc. Main reason for the two disparate characters (臺 vs. 颱) being simplified into the same character (台) is that all three characters have the same pronunciation (tái). In order to trace the etymology of Chinese terms, you must trace the meaning and composition, both of which can get lost if you only consider the terms in simplified forms!

No, I don't think so: the word Tufan comes from the Arabic root: T - W - F which means to rotate, and it also makes the word "Tawaf", and Tufan mostly means Flood rather than a windstorm.

Fun fact: German has adopted the romanisation of the Japanese "Taifun" because our pronunciation is quite similar. "Hurricane" is "Hurrikan" and "cyclone" is "Zyklon", which looks close to Greek. There is a German word "Orkan" which is related to "hurricane", but those storms are generally weaker and less organised (i.e. less defined rotation and no "eye", so probably more like a tropical depression or tropical storm in terms of intensity). That's what we most often get. Tornados occur here also, though usually far fewer and weaker than in the U.S. We call them "Tornado", or less often "Windhose" ("wind trousers"). Also, I've heard that hurricane-like storms on the Mediterranean are called "medicanes". While those are nothing to laugh at, the name does remind me of the U.S. "Medicaid" 😊

The Japanese/Chinese word for typhoon is 台風 or 大風 (both pronounced 'taifuu') and in a literal sense means 'big wind' so I suppose the word typhoon could come from these words since these are languages from the area where typhoons occur

Australia uses Cyclone for all tropical storms, though we have started using the terminology to explain more southern severe weather systems

Typhoon is the pseudo-Greek way of rewriting the Chinese term meaning "(the) great wind(s)"/"(the) big wind(s)"[AKA windy weather] from Cantonese. Cyclone was named after the Cyclone rollercoaster in Coney Island, a part of Brooklyn in New York City at the Coney Island Luna Amusement Park. Hurricane meant Hurry up with the sugarcane when a Vietnamese person is trying to sell sugarcane juice to a foreign tourist in Vietnam. That‘s how I would like to interpret it. LOL.

For some reason youtube wont let me respond to your response. The (th) in what I wrote doesn't represent the dental fricative like the english (th) it represents the aspirated stop like english (t) english stops distinguish aspirated vs voiced, spanish distinguishes voiceless vs voiced, most chinese varieties distinguish aspirated vs voiceless. Middle chinese from the middle ages distinguished aspirated (th) vs voiceless (t) vs voiced (d) but then merged (t) and (d). If a language dosent distinguish a pair then they are often used interchangeably in different contexts. in english t is aspirated except after s. exp. aspirated t in top, plain voiceless t in stop.

There is also the suggestion for these kind of storm in the mediteranean sea, as it grew warmer in the past few decades, and sometimes there are now storms that look similar to a small hurricane, so somebody suggested to name them 'Medicane' , a mediteranean Hurricane.

Wait, so does this mean that if a Tropical Storm is formed in North Or Central America, then travels West all the way to Eastern Asia, and then travels South-west to The Indian Ocean, then The Tropical Storm would have started off as a Hurricane, then become a Typhoon and then finally a Cyclone? And also if the direction of which way a Tropical Storm spins depends on which Hemisphere that it's in, then which way would it spin if it was directly on The Equator?

@AntoineLavoisier

Hi I’m an American meteorologist and can help explain this one. Great questions BTW. Tropical cyclones are very rare within 5-10 degrees of the Equator due to the lack of the Coriolis Force which simply put gives tropical cyclones their spin. This means that an organized tropical cyclone would not cross the Equator. Having said that, we have seen many examples of hurricanes in the northeastern Pacific crossing the International Dateline and being reclassified as typhoons in the northwestern Pacific. We’ve also seen tropical cyclones move from the northwestern Pacific to the northern Indian Ocean. It is much rarer because a typhoon would have to cross the low latitude Malay Peninsula to achieve this. There is at least one example of a typhoon becoming a cyclone in our records. Therefore, it is theoretically possible for a tropical cyclone to travel from Atlantic to Pacific to Indian earning all three names in the northern hemisphere only. Hope this helps!

Atmospheric rivers aren't strictly extratropical, but they aren't cyclones either. They're more like narrow straightish bands of moisture.

In Portuguese we have adaptations for the three words: Hurricane = Furacão; Cyclone = Ciclone; Typhoon = Tufão But apparently, even though we are nowhere near the Indian Ocean, when it happens here it's called a cyclone, like the 'Bomb Cyclone' that happened in 2020 near the coast of Santa Catarina (a Brazilian state).

In Swedish, "hurricane" is called "orkan", which also comes from the same word as "hurricane". On the other hand, "tornado" is called "tromb", which from what I can find comes from the Italian word for "trumpet", probably because of the shape. Also, if the tornado isn't touching the ground we call it a "tuba", which means, well, "tuba".

Thanks for the digression on tornadoes. I grew up in 'Tornado Alley' in Kansas. It's funny that the game Twister was introduced in 1966, because in June 1966, Topeka, KS experienced one of the worst tornadoes in Kansas history.

So how did the population suffering the ill effects of typhoons for thousands of years complain about the bad weather if they didn’t have their own native word for it?! 🤔 The technical/formal term in Chinese for typhoon is 颱風 which is pronounced “tai feng” in Mandarin. These two Chinese characters are made up of three components (linguistically known as radicals): 風 + 台 + 風 with the component meaning *wind* 風 repeated. IOW, wind being the definition of tropical storms is baked into the composition of these Chinese characters. I really find it extremely unlikely that 颱風 is the transliteration of a term borrowed from elsewhere. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏼‍♀️

In Eastern Europe it's very rare for a swirly rainy windy thing to be strong enough to bring about a literal storm (it takes a lot of passing expensive terrain rainwise), nevertheless they are also called cyclones, those turning CCL are called anticyclones

Here in the US, a "cyclone" is kind of used to refer to any storm that spins, including a proto-tornado or a spinning winter storm, while a "hurricane" is specifically a strong tropical cyclone with lots of rain and high wind speeds.

Good video overall. I just covered this topic during a school visit. As confusing as it may be for this video, the proper term for all tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones is “tropical cyclone”. The term cyclone is (as you stated) a tropical cyclone with winds greater than 73mph that forms in the Southern Hemisphere or Northern Indian Ocean. Hurricane and Typhoon are used exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere so a country like Australia would never use that term.

In Tagalog and Cebuano languages in the Philippines, we call it "bagyo".

As many comments pointed out, Typhoon possibly has a Kanji-sphere origin. Two more pieces of possible evidnece: Typhoon in Taiwanese and Hakka are formed using an older word formation of N+A: Hong-Tai (wind-tai) and Fung-Tsai (wind-tsai). This is very impossible if phonetic borrowing is the case.

In North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, a storm is a tropical depression until it reaches hurricane status. Then it becomes a category 1 thru 5 hurricane. So a tropical depression and a hurricane are both a tropical storm, but a hurricane is not a tropical depression.

Even to this day we still call it taufan. So it's possible that it was typhoon -> tufan -> taufan -> typhoon.

In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy called the tornado a cyclone.

In France we use Ouragan (hurricane) Cyclone But here it's a mater of hemisphere, ouragans if it's un the northern hemisphere, cyclone if its in the southern hemisphere. And occasionally we use typhon for South East Asia but ouragan is also used

it depends on the place in which those storms happen generally the Atlantic Hurricane season runs from June 1st to Nov 30th it's height being late July to October Hurricane Andrew for example lasted from August 16th to August 29th 1992

Tropical Storm is a good name. It's what NOAA calls a tropical depression system after the wind speeds are above a certain level, and although they refer to a cylone as either a hurricane or typhoon once the winds are above another certain speed, they're certainly storms, eh?

Like Lismore and the Northern Rivers in NSW Australia. Flooded twice in a month thanks to La Niña.

Interestingly enough, in the Pacific ocean there has been the occasional hurricane that officially became a typhoon because it wandered over the International Date Line.

In Dutch, a hurricane is called 'orkaan', which is a little different from hurricane, but they have the same root word. Also, in Japanese, typhoons are called 台風 (taifuu). There is a theory where the origin of the word comes from the Chinese word 大風 (literally: large wind, and would also be pronounced taifuu, and something similar to that in Chinese).

Tropical depressions can become tropical storms, which become hurricanes at certain wind speeds. They're not interchangeable. Tropical cyclone makes more sense as a collective name for these storms

Your "Kyklone" at 6:17 is spinning the wrong way. In the northern hemisphere (where India is) they spin anticlockwise. So that would mean all hurricanes spin anticlockwise too. Here in Australia, cyclones (as we call them) all spin clockwise. So, for us, it's kind of true that that cyclones spin clockwise and hurricanes anticlockwise. It seems that they are only called typhoons in the northern hemisphere, so it would also be true that all typhoons spin anticlockwise.

There is a kind of geographically-specific tornado though, deriving from that word. In Czechia, playing Twister Ice Fun will allow you to see the ear-destroying roar of the *TORNÀDO*

"Kamikaze". Yes, some people associate this with suicide bombers, but the word (literally "divine wind") was used for the typhoons that halted Genghis Khan's invasions of Japan.

If you are referring to named storms, they are tropical storms once they reach sustained wind speeds of 35 knots, and tropical cyclones/hurricanes/typhoons once they reach sustained winds of 65 knots. Any organized, warm core system below tropical storm status is called a tropical depression. These are meteorological designations, and they are important. A subtropical cyclone is a weather system created under very different circumstances. It is usually less organized, stretches out much further, and produces a squall line of thunderstorms on its cold front/leading edge, with snow and blizzard conditions near its top in the winter. Tropical cyclones thrive out at sea and dissipate over land. Whereas subtropical cyclones can thrive over land or at sea. A subtropical cyclone that moves out over water can take on characteristics of a tropical cyclone, but retains its cooler core. A tropical cyclone that moves out of the tropics and develops a cold core is called a post-tropical cyclone or storm, depending on wind speeds. If it was still a hurricane or typhoon when making this transition, it becomes just a cyclone. There is no such thing as a post-tropical hurricane. It's a post-tropical cyclone.

In Kannada (a south indian language) we call it a ಚಂಡಮಾರುತ(chanDa-maarutha) It's not mythical by itself, but includes the names of 2 gods. maarutha means wind in sanskrit. chanda means aggressive in sanskrit.
