A cyclonic storm having winds ranging from approximately 48 to 121 kilometers (30 to 75 miles) per hour.A wind with a speed greater than 74 miles (119 kilometers) per hour, according to the Beaufort scale is a hurricane. Also a cyclone in a tropical region that is more intense than a disturbance but less than a storm, with wind speeds of 38 mph or less is a tropical depression.

My answer to ur question is that a tropical storm is a tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind speed ranges from 34kt to 63kt and a hurricane is also a tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind is 64kt or more.The term hurricane is used in the Northern Hemisphere and typhoon is used in the Pacific tropical cyclones above the Equator.
