Is a typhoon a cyclone or an anticyclone?
Anticyclones do not exist.
Typhoons are cyclones. The cause is the occurrence of low pressure in the tropical region, which concentrates cloud bands in one place, making it a tropical storm. When it reaches a certain temperature The United Nations Weather Reporting Center upgraded it to a typhoon.
Popular science: The lower the air pressure, the higher the intensity of the typhoon. Typhoon Taipei (Tip), which has the largest known impact, also has the lowest air pressure - 870hPa.
Please adopt it, thank you!
