It depends on 3 things.
Storms of the same type west of the date line are called typhoons and ones south of the equator are called cyclones. The only country in the world that has hurricanes on the Pacific Ocean is Mexico, no other, none, we have them all, you like everybody else have them over our gulf, The Gulf of Mexico, but we have the largest Pacific sea board in America, so we get all the storms which we always call Huricanes.
No, storms in the Pacific Ocean are called typhoons. Hurricanes are the term used for storms that form in the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific. Typhoons and hurricanes are essentially the same type of storm, but they are given different names based on the region in which they form.
In Japan, hurricanes are called typhoons.
The generic term correct term for a hurricanes is tropical cyclone. This is the generic term that covers tropical storms of both the northern and Southern Hemisphere. Strong tropical cyclones in the Americas are called hurricanes, and tropical cyclones in Asian waters and the China Sea are called typhoons.
hurricanes
Tropical storms with high winds and heavy rains are called hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean, and typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean.
A hurricane is called a typhoon in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean.
Actually, hurricanes are tropical cyclones that occur in the Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific Ocean. In the western Pacific Ocean, these storms are called typhoons, while in the Indian Ocean they are known as cyclones.
Yes, hurricanes that occur in the Southern Hemisphere are called cyclones or typhoons, depending on the region. These storms have the same characteristics as hurricanes but spin in the opposite direction due to the Coriolis effect.

A Hurricane or a Typhoon or a Cyclone.
Tropical storms with high winds and heavy rains are called hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean, and typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean.
They are called by the name "Typhoons". Until they are mature, they are cyclonic storms
Tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes and similar storms) are most common in the western portions of oceans in the tropics. Such storms are called hurricanes in the Atlantic ocean and the eastern Pacific hurricane.
A hurricane is called a typhoon in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean.
In different regions, hurricanes are known as cyclones (South Pacific and Indian Ocean) or typhoons (Northwest Pacific). The terminology depends on the location where the storm occurs.
Actually, hurricanes are tropical cyclones that occur in the Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific Ocean. In the western Pacific Ocean, these storms are called typhoons, while in the Indian Ocean they are known as cyclones.
No, hurricanes are only called hurricanes when they form in the Atlantic Ocean or the eastern Pacific Ocean. The same weather phenomenon is referred to as typhoons in the western Pacific and cyclones in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific.
In the Atlantic and eastern Pacific they north of the equator are called hurricanes. In the western Pacific north of the equator they are called typhoons. In the northern Indian Ocean they are called very severe cyclonic storms.
Yes, hurricanes that occur in the Southern Hemisphere are called cyclones or typhoons, depending on the region. These storms have the same characteristics as hurricanes but spin in the opposite direction due to the Coriolis effect.
They are called cyclones in the Indian Ocean and typhoons in the western Pacific and Philippines region.
