The correct answer is:

✅ Northwest Pacific

Typhoons are tropical cyclones that form in the Northwest Pacific Ocean (east of Asia), primarily:

Near the Philippines, Japan, and China.

Between 5°–20°N latitude, where warm ocean waters (≥26.5°C/80°F) fuel their development.

Peak Season: July–October.

Local Names: Called "typhoons" in this region; identical storms are called hurricanes (Atlantic) or cyclones (Indian Ocean).

❌ Siberia: Far too cold—no warm ocean to spawn typhoons.

❌ Indian Ocean: Storms here are cyclones, not typhoons.

Fun Fact: The word typhoon comes from Cantonese "tai fung" (big wind)! 🌪️🇨🇳

Note: The Northwest Pacific sees ~30% of the world’s tropical cyclones—more than any other basin! 🌊🌀
