The basin is demarcated within the Pacific Ocean from Asia, north of the equator, and west of the international date line.Storms from the Eastern and Central Pacific crossing the date line are re-designated as typhoons. This basin features the strongest cyclones on record.Typhoon seasons include the entirety of the calendar year. Most storms tend to form between May and November, although they can occur at other times of the year as well.

台风的英语是Typhoon。

台风（英语：Typhoon），属于热带气旋的一种。热带气旋是发生在热带或副热带洋面上的低压涡旋，是一种强大而深厚的“热带天气系统”。

我国把南海与西北太平洋的热带气旋按其底层中心附近最大平均风力（风速）大小划分为6个等级，其中中心附近风力达12级或以上的，统称为台风。

台风的危害：

台风风速大都在17米/秒以上，甚至在60米/秒以上。据测，当风力达到12级时，垂直于风向平面上每平方米风压可达230公斤。因此当超强台风来临时，其带来的狂风及其引起的巨浪可以把沿海船只抛起乃至拦腰折断,也可把巨轮推入内陆；也足以损坏甚至摧毁陆地上的建筑、桥梁、车辆等。
