Which is more severe, strong convective weather or typhoon?

At present, strong convective weather refers to convective gale, hail and short-term heavy precipitation accompanied by thunderstorms.

Strong convective weather occurs in small and medium-scale weather systems, and the spatial scale is small. Generally, the horizontal range is about ten kilometers to two or three hundred kilometers, and some horizontal ranges are only tens of meters to ten kilometers. Its life history is short, with obvious suddenness, about one hour to more than ten hours, and the shorter one is only a few minutes to an hour.

Typhoons are classified as tropical cyclones in Asia-Pacific countries or regions north of the equator and west of international date line.

Sudden, strong convective weather is more severe, but usually typhoons are more severe and destructive.
