As we are discussing storms what is the difference between a Hurricane and a Typhoon

They are called one or the other depending upon where they occur as they are both tropical storms.

[Raider4]

Agreed. (very) Simply hurricane in the Atlantic, typhoon in the western Pacific. Wikipedia will have more details if you're that interested.

As we are discussing storms what is the difference between a Hurricane and a Typhoon (any answers involving 100kts, or 8 Rkts will result in instant expulsion !!!)

Then you should not have capitalised either "Hurricane" or "Typhoon"?

I see that now they've given a 'proper name' to the coronavirus......I'll be getting that wrong too.
I read it as Corvid, and wondered what they'd got against members of the crow family.

Dammit!

A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, and a typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean; in the south Pacific or Indian Ocean, comparable storms are referred to simply as "tropical cyclones" or "severe cyclonic storms".

That do you?

[Techno]

I understood that, up to "A hurricane". 

Ditto!

I'm glad someone else thought that, Martyn !!

Best "Miss-see" I had was when I was walking down a street in Newark (Notts)..just casually looking around. There was a big advertising billboard at the end of the street.
I glanced at it and looked away.....And thought "WHAT".....You can't print F*CK in four foot letters on that.

(That was the first time I ever saw an advert for French Connection UK.)

If I'd been driving past, I wouldn't have been able to do a double take, and would have gone home and told Von....."You'll never guess what I saw down town."

Cheers - Phil

That do you?

And by the time they reach New Zealand they're known as "ex-tropical cyclone"

I always mis-read Extreme Fishing in the TV book . . .

You didn't need to ask Ian, you could have just looked out the window; it was very visible

Can I help you with any more Hurricane questions, or are we just typhooning around?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

After that one I'd get a coat. Here is another one to contemplate - What is the difference between a boat and a ship....

You can put a boat on a ship but you can't put a ship in a boat.

[toxicpixie]

I dunno, is it a ship off the old block? I'll get me boat
