Characteristics of typhoons:

Strong winds and extremely destructive power. A typhoon is a type of tropical cyclone. It is a low-pressure vortex that occurs on the tropical or subtropical ocean. Its wind force is usually level 12 or above. Typhoons are mainly divided into six levels according to their intensity: tropical depression, tropical storm, severe tropical storm, typhoon, severe typhoon and super typhoon. Typhoon weather often occurs in summer.

Broadly speaking, the word "typhoon" is not a tropical cyclone intensity. Tropical cyclones with sustained central wind speeds of 17.2 meters per second or above, including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons defined by the World Meteorological Organization, are all called typhoons. Informally, "typhoon" even refers to the tropical cyclone itself.
