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 LA Times, The Times, The Mirror, the New York Times, The Guardian, The Independent and The Telegraph.
