Cyclones and hurricanes are both strong storms that form in the tropics. How they form, what they do and how they affect the land and people around them are quite different things, though. Cycles of tropical cyclones are formed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and there are many different possible names for these storms. These include tropical cyclones, named cyclonic storms, and typhoons.

What is a Cyclone?

• Cyclone is a powerful low-pressure storm that usually forms in the tropics. Cyclone is the name used for these storms in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and many parts of the southern and south-eastern parts of the Arabian Peninsula. In the western Pacific, these storms are colloquially known as hurricanes.
• Cyclone is a high-pressure area with a central eye surrounded by winds that rotate counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Cycles of wind and water from the eye of these powerful storms can form a track known as a super cyclone. Cyclone is a common term used for different-sized cyclones. While there are many distinct types of cyclones (including the different types of hurricanes), there are some similarities in their structure and behaviour. For example, most cyclones form along the equator in the middle latitudes of the Earth’s surface.
• Cyclones are low pressure systems that rotate counter clockwise in the Northern hemisphere. They are associated with an area of warm water in the western Pacific Ocean. With a diameter of around 1,000 miles, cyclones can be quite devastating.

What is a Hurricane

• A hurricane is a huge area of low pressure that spins in the same direction as the Earth’s rotation, like a miniature tornado. Since hurricanes spend so much time spinning, the wind constantly changes directions. The result is a storm with winds that can blow at speeds of over 90 miles per hour and gusts that can reach more than 150 miles per hour.  Because their winds are constantly changing direction, hurricanes tend to devastate areas in their path without providing much-sustained wind.
• A hurricane is a type of intense tropical cyclone. The word hurricane comes from the Spanish word huracán, which came from the Carib word huracán, which from the Arawakan word hurakan, which came from the native American term hurakan, which is related to the Tupi language and means “the illness that invades the water.”

Though a cyclone and hurricane are two different types of storms, the one thing they have in common is that they are both significant storms that cause damage, lose lives, and a host of other problems.

As said, there are many different types of storms in nature—hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, and dust devils. Even though these terms may seem similar to those in other cultures—like the Indian Ocean’s cyclone—they are actually different. The main difference between a hurricane, a typhoon, a cyclone, and a dust devil can only be found in the eye of the storm.

Cyclones and hurricanes are two of the most dangerous storms globally, yet they do not really look alike. They may be two of the deadliest storms, but that does not mean that they are the same thing. Hurricanes are caused by warm ocean water and wind, while a tornado is a spinning column of winds. Cyclone is also a term for different types of cyclones – from what causes one to what causes the other. So, if you’re looking for a good storm name for your next blog post, don’t call it a hurricane.

As we all know, there is a phenomenon called a ‘hurricane’ in the southern hemisphere. It’s a cyclone that forms in the southern hemisphere, and when it reaches tropical storm status, it can travel north, pummelling land with torrential rain, winds above hurricane strength, and even a storm surge. The name is not the same as the West, only with a tropical cyclone.

They are both destructive but different. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone, a system of winds and ocean currents that collides with land, which causes damage and death to whatever is in its path. Cyclone is a smaller weather system, a localized area of low pressure that starts in the ocean, moves over land, and eventually dissipates.
