Hurricane Ian, Cyclone Biparjoy, and Typhoon Mawar filmed from space - but what's the difference?

The physical characteristics of these storms are relatively similar, as demonstrated in our satellite video. They all form over warm ocean waters near the equator, and their structure comprises a calm centre known as the 'eye,' surrounded by bands of thunderstorms spiralling outward - the distinction and name are based on where they occur.

Hurricanes form in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific regions, near the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the United States.

Cyclones occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, impacting countries like Australia, Madagascar, and India.

Typhoons are the equivalent in the Northwest Pacific, primarily affecting Eastern Asia, including Japan, the Philippines, and China.

The severity of these storms includes high-speed winds, storm surges and flooding. Climate change is increasingly becoming a wild card in these events, as warming ocean waters have the potential to intensify tropical cyclones, making them even more dangerous.
