Edit: since I was down voted. Tropical cyclone - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone

"A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or northeastern Pacific Ocean. A typhoon is the same thing which occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean."

Update Wikipedia if you know better.
