Calling a storm a typhoon isn’t as clear-cut as you’d think—talk about a meteorological soap opera! The article reveals that the strict definition of 'typhoon' is muddier than your last family argument. There’s no precise checklist; apparently, the weather’s deciding on its own DMV registration rules. This ambiguity makes 'typhoon' less a scientific term and more a weather influencer’s mood swing. So next time you hear a storm labeled 'typhoon,' remember it might just be bragging—it’s not officially confessed yet. Nature’s own awkward teenager phase, where even the clouds refuse to commit.
