Typhoons and hurricanes are basically the same and are both tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones have very low atmospheric pressure in the calm clear centre or the eye, where a circular structure of rain, cloud and very high winds take place. In the Caribbean and Atlantic they are called hurricanes and in the Pacific they are called typhoons. Because of how the Earth rotates, tropical cyclones rotate clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Nothern and can be 80-800 km in diameter with sustained winds in excess of 160kph
