Today, Typhoon Hagibis struck Japan. I became curious about the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon. It turns out, the difference is only that a typhoon is a hurricane in the Far East and East Asia. It is believed that a typhoon is a gradually developing hurricane, but there are significantly fewer destructive typhoons than destructive hurricanes, so this is kind of an exception. Meteorologists call them both tropical cyclones.
