The Saffir-Simpson scale

Hurricanes are rated 1 to 5 by their strongest sustained winds.

Category	Winds		Damage
1	74–95 mph	119–153 km/h	Very dangerous winds will produce some damage
2	96–110 mph	154–177 km/h	Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage
3	111–129 mph	178–208 km/h	Devastating damage will occur (a major hurricane)
4	130–156 mph	209–251 km/h	Catastrophic damage will occur
5	157 mph or higher	252 km/h or higher	Catastrophic damage; most of the area uninhabitable for weeks or months

Hurricane, typhoon or cyclone?

They are the same kind of storm: a spinning, warm-core system that feeds on warm ocean water. Over the North Atlantic and the eastern and central North Pacific it’s a hurricane; over the western North Pacific a typhoon; over the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific a cyclone. Below 39 mph (63 km/h) it’s a tropical depression.

For official forecasts and warnings, follow your national weather service (in the U.S., the National Hurricane Center).

Did you know?

Hurricane, typhoon, cyclone. They're the same kind of storm. The name depends on the ocean: hurricanes in the Atlantic and NE Pacific, typhoons in the NW Pacific, cyclones elsewhere.
