Tropical storm
A cyclone or hurricane
A tropical depression has sustained winds of 38 mph or less.
74
You need to know its direction. Put that togetherwith the speed, and you'll have the velocity.
A tropical storm has winds between 39 and 73 miles per hour.
Yes. When A tropical storm's winds reach or exceed 119 km/h it is considered a hurricane.
Tropical storm
Tropical storm if it is a tropical cyclone. Otherwise it is called a gale.
A tropical depression is a low-pressure system with sustained winds of less than 39 mph. Once the winds reach 39 mph, it is classified as a tropical storm.

A tropical storm.
A hurricane is classified as a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour (119 kilometers per hour) or higher.
The determining factor is the sustained wind speed. If the tropical system has sustained winds of less than 39 miles per hour, then it is a tropical depression. If sustained winds are in the range of 39 to 73 mph, then it is a tropical storm. If sustained winds are 74 mph or faster, then it is a hurricane.
A tropical storm is classified as a hurricane once its sustained wind speeds reach 74 miles per hour (119 kilometers per hour) or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
A cyclone or hurricane
Tropical Depression: An area of low pressure, rotary circulation of clouds and winds of 38 mph or less (33. kts or less)Tropical Storm: A storm characterized by counter-clockwise circulation of clouds and winds of 39 to 73 mph (34 to 64. kts)AnswerUnless you live in the Southern hemisphere where high pressure regions circulate in an anticlockwise fashion. In the Australian severe weather region a tropical cyclone must have 63 km/hrsustained winds and gusts to 90 km/hr. A severe tropical cyclone is 118 km/hr sustained 165 km/hr gusts.
