Typhoons, or tropical cyclones, are storms of low atmospheric pressure at the center where large amounts of latent heat of condensation are being carried upwards and distributed in a circular pattern, thus creating several thunderstorms, powerful wind and torrential rain. The tropical disturbances can create damaging storm surges and tornadoes on land if given enough time to develop at sea. Once the typhoon has reached land, it begins to weaken and dissipate.
