🌪️ You’ve probably heard of hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, cyclones, and monsoons, but do you know the differences between them? 🌊 Let’s break it down! Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones are actually the same phenomenon—massive tropical storms that form over water. The only difference is where they form: hurricanes in the Atlantic and northeastern Pacific, typhoons in the northwestern Pacific, and cyclones in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. Interestingly, cyclones rotate in the opposite direction because they form in the Southern Hemisphere. Tornadoes, on the other hand, are smaller but incredibly powerful rotating columns of air that form only over land, with the United States being a hotspot. 🌪️ And then there are monsoons—seasonal winds that bring heavy rains, especially in South Asia, where they play a crucial role in shaping the climate and agriculture. 🌧️

  1. Yeah. In Nepal, whenever it's like summer or stuff like June, July, August, we call it monsoon season because it rains. It mostly rains during the ends of June and beginning of July. My birthday is in July so I did get to go anywhere or invite anyone to my party this year because it was raining so heavily. There were floods and a lot of properties and houses got destroyed. And some streets were filled sewer water because they overflowed since there was just that much rain.

  2. Just to add: a cyclone is any kind of large scale low pressure system. So cyclones, typhoons, and hurricanes are all tropical cyclones meanwhile you have extratropical cyclones which are called windstorms in Europe or Nor’easters in the Northeast United States
