What weather system does the typhoon belong to?

Typhoons are a type of tropical cyclone. A tropical cyclone is a low-pressure vortex that occurs on the tropical or subtropical ocean. It is a powerful and deep "tropical weather system". China divides tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific into six levels based on the maximum average wind power (wind speed) near the bottom center. Those with wind power of level 12 or above near the center are collectively called typhoons. Typhoons often bring violent winds, heavy rains and storm surges, which not only bring disasters to mankind, but also bring benefits to mankind. Typhoons bring abundant freshwater resources to mankind, which is of great significance for improving freshwater supply and ecological environment. In addition, typhoons also maintain a relative balance of heat and cold in various parts of the world; the equatorial region has a hot climate. If typhoons had not dissipated this heat, the tropics would be hotter, the frigid zones would be colder, and the temperate zones would disappear from the earth.
