A "Super Typhoon" is a powerful tropical cyclone that has sustained wind speeds of at least 150 miles per hour (241 kilometers per hour). These storms form over warm ocean waters and can cause significant damage to coastal areas, including strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges. The term is primarily used in the western Pacific Ocean, where such storms are more common. Super Typhoons are classified using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which categorizes storms based on their wind speeds and potential damage. Meteorologists closely monitor these storms using satellites and radar to provide early warnings to affected regions, helping to ensure the safety of residents and minimize destruction.
