#### Hurricane, Typhoon, Or Cyclone: How Each Region Ranks Storms

Region | Local name | Scale | Gets a name at | Strongest class
Atlantic and northeast Pacific | Hurricane | Saffir-Simpson (US National Hurricane Center) | 63 km/h (39 mph) | Category 5, 252 km/h (157 mph) or higher
Northwest Pacific | Typhoon | Japan Meteorological Agency scale | 63 km/h (39 mph) | Violent Typhoon, 194 km/h (121 mph) or higher
North Indian Ocean | Cyclone | India Meteorological Department scale | 62 km/h (39 mph) | Super Cyclonic Storm, 222 km/h (138 mph) or higher
Southwest Indian Ocean | Tropical cyclone | Météo-France La Réunion scale | 63 km/h (39 mph) | Very Intense Tropical Cyclone, 213 km/h (132 mph) or higher
Australia and South Pacific | Tropical cyclone | Australian Bureau of Meteorology scale | 63 km/h (39 mph) | Category 5, gusts of 280 km/h (174 mph) or higher
Each agency averages wind over a different time window: 1 minute in the Atlantic, 3 minutes in India, and 10 minutes in most other regions. The same storm can therefore get a different number from each agency.

#### FAQ

##### What's The Difference Between A Hurricane, A Typhoon, And A Cyclone?

All three are the same weather system, a tropical cyclone, named by the ocean where it forms. Storms in the Atlantic and northeast Pacific are hurricanes, storms in the northwest Pacific are typhoons, and storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific are cyclones. RainViewer shows all three on one live radar map. Read more in RainViewer's guide to hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons.

##### When Does A Tropical Storm Get A Name?

A tropical system gets a name once its sustained winds reach about 63 km/h (39 mph). Each region's weather agency names storms from its own list, maintained with the World Meteorological Organization. See how hurricanes are named.

##### Which Ocean Produces The Most Tropical Storms?

The northwest Pacific is the most active storm region on Earth, with about 25 named storms in an average year. The Atlantic averages about 14 named storms per season, based on the 1991–2020 record.

##### Is A Tropical Storm The Same As A Thunderstorm?

No. A tropical storm is an organized, rotating system hundreds of kilometers wide, built around a low-pressure center. A single thunderstorm cell usually lasts less than an hour and covers a few kilometers. A tropical storm contains many thunderstorms inside its rain bands. Learn how to identify thunderstorms on radar.

##### Can Storms Form Outside Hurricane Season?

Yes. Season dates mark the months when most storms form, not a hard limit. The northwest Pacific has recorded typhoons in every month of the year.

##### How Do I Find Storms Near Me On The Map?

Open the live radar map and tap the location button to center the map on your position. The RainViewer app adds notifications for tropical storms that form near your saved locations or bring warnings to them.

##### How Often Does The Live Storm Radar Update?

RainViewer adds each radar scan as soon as it arrives from the station, and most areas refresh about every 10 minutes. Storm positions and paths update as each new official advisory comes in.
