Tropical storm
A cyclone or hurricane
A tropical storm with winds of 119 km per hour (approximately 74 mph) or higher is classified as a hurricane in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific regions, or a typhoon in the Northwest Pacific. In the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, it is referred to as a severe tropical cyclone. These storms can cause significant damage due to their high winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges.

The storm signal that indicates wind velocities between 100-180 kph is typically classified as Signal No. 3 in the Philippines. This signal warns of potentially damaging winds that can cause significant disruption, including downed trees and power lines, as well as danger to those in vulnerable structures. It advises residents to take precautions and prepare for severe weather conditions.
The term "frankenstorm" is used to describe a large, hybrid storm that combines characteristics of different weather systems, particularly when a hurricane interacts with other weather fronts, such as a nor'easter. The name evokes the idea of Frankenstein's monster, which is made up of various parts stitched together. This phenomenon can lead to severe weather conditions, including heavy rainfall, strong winds, and significant storm surges. The most famous example of a frankenstorm is Hurricane Sandy, which in 2012 combined with a winter storm to cause widespread devastation.
A hurricane or typhoon has a central calm area called the eye, with winds spiraling inwardly.

A storm surge is a large mass of water that is pushed ashore by the strong winds of a hurricane, causing flooding in coastal areas.
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its winds reach 74 mph.
A violent rotating windstorm spawned by a thunderstorm is a tornado.
This is the Coriolis Effect.
Yes. A tropical storm has sustained winds of 39-73mph.
The opposite of a cyclone is an anti-cyclone.
A narrow funnel shaped column of spiraling winds is called a tornado. Tornadoes are a type of severe weather phenomenon characterized by their violent swirling motion and destructive force.
A severe storm that develops over tropical oceans with strong winds of more than 120 km/h spiraling is called a hurricane. Hurricanes are powerful tropical cyclones that can cause widespread damage to coastal areas due to their high winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surge.
