A cyclone is a large-scale rotating low pressure system with a defined center of circulation. They can bring strong winds, thunderstorms, and various precipitation depending on the kind of cyclone.
A thunderstorm is any rainstorm that produces thunder and lighting. Thunderstorms are a smaller scale phenomenon than cyclones and generally do not rotate. When a thunderstorm does rotate, it is still a smaller-scale pattern than a cyclones, and is instead called a supercell. A rotating complex of thunderstorms may be considered a cyclone, however.

∙ 11y agoA cyclone is virtually any large scale low pressure system with a definite circulation. A typhoon is a type of cyclone, specifically a tropical cyclone that occurs in the Pacific Ocean north of the equator and west of the International Date Line, and possessing sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
"Storm" is a vague term that can refer to virtually any weather event that produces strong winds, thunder and lightning, significant precipitation, or some combination of those. In this sense typhoons and, in fact most cyclones can be regarded as storms.

Supercells differ from ordinary in a few important ways. The updraft of a supercell is stronger than that of an ordinary thunderstorm. That updraft also rotates, which is not see in ordinary storms. Finally, a supercell as separate updraft and downdraft areas.

How does a typhoon formed?
A typhoon forms over warm ocean waters, typically above 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit). As the water evaporates, it creates a low-pressure area, leading to the formation of thunderstorms. If conditions are favorable, with low wind shear and sufficient moisture, the thunderstorms can organize and develop into a tropical depression, which can then intensify into a typhoon as wind speeds reach 119 kilometers per hour (74 miles per hour) or more.
What is a condition required for all thunderstorms to form?
The formation of a thunderstorm requires an area of unstable air, its motion due to convection currents. The moisture in this heated air will be carried aloft and condense, releasing heat to power the thunderstorm. A thunderstorm needs a lifting force, and moisture in the lower to mid-levels of the atmosphere.
