Tropical storm (7)

I think it could be either:

cyclone

typhoon

'tropical storm' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cyclone that I've seen before include "Whirlwind or twister" , "kind of weather?" , "Tornado" , "lots of wind" , "Spiralling wind" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, The Mirror, the LA Times, The Independent, The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard and The Times.
