A cyclone is any mass of air that spirals around a low pressure center. It is an organized collection of thunderstorms embedded in a swirling mass of air. In general, both typhoons and hurricanes are tropical cyclones but differ in their locations. The difference between hurricane and typhoon is that tropical cyclones in the west Pacific are called Typhoons and those in the Atlantic and east Pacific Ocean are called Hurricanes. It's the longitude that matters.
Tropical cyclone is a generic term. In the northern hemisphere, where tropical cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean, and eastern Pacific Ocean they are called hurricanes and those in the Pacific Ocean west of the 180th meridian are called typhoons. Those in the southern Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean are simply called cyclones.
