Well, a typhoon, just like a hurricane and any other tropical cyclone, forms when many conditions are met. For example, there must be an area of low pressure that moves over warm (around 80 degrees F or more) water. If the upper-level winds, called shear, are not strong enough to rip up the thunderstorms, this low pressure will increase in strength. Officially, a low pressure becomes a tropical depression when it has a surface circulation and a good amount of thunderstorms that stay together for a long time. In the West Pacific, where tropical cyclones are called typhoons, these depressions have plenty of room and warm water to strengthen into typhoons. This is how they, and other tropical cyclones, form.

Typhoons form in North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east, Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline, Southwest Pacific Ocean west of 160E or Southeast Indian Ocean east of 90E, in the North Indian Ocean and in south West Indian Ocean. They Form when several winds meet. A typhoon forms where there is warm water, an atmosphere that cools fast, has to be at least 500km away from the equator and has moist layers near the mid-troposphere
