What to do

If you encounter a typhoon during your trip or there is a forecast of a possible typhoon. Well, first of all, check the weather forecast in advance to see the predicted intensity of the typhoon, the cities it may hit, and the conditions of departure, stopover, and destination. Important information includes local experience and foundation for typhoon prevention, such as drainage facilities, reinforcement facilities, citizens’ disaster prevention awareness, etc. Also reserve more knowledge yourself so that you are prepared for any emergencies.

Second, raincoats and rain boots are necessary. If you give up your umbrella, the wind may be so strong that it turns into a parachute. Bring extra clothes to avoid running out of clothes when the typhoon makes you wet. The temperature will drop when a typhoon approaches. Bring some long sleeves, a jacket, etc. to keep out the cold.

Third, as mentioned in geography textbooks: Typhoons are also called tropical cyclones. They move counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and vice versa in the southern hemisphere. Typhoons refer to strong winds of Category 12 and above. People on the Atlantic coast also call them hurricanes, as does the treasure island of Taiwan.

Fourth, typhoons form at sea and will cause violent storms when they land on land. After a typhoon makes landfall, the wind force will gradually decrease due to friction from the ground. If you feel that the wind and rain have temporarily become lighter, it does not necessarily mean that the typhoon has passed.

You must know that the center of the typhoon - the eye of the typhoon - is neither rain nor wind. It is very likely that your place is affected by the eye of the typhoon at this time. Pay attention to weather station information and wait until the typhoon has completely passed before traveling normally.

In short, if you encounter a typhoon while traveling, it is best to choose indoor projects, reserve water and food in advance, charge the battery, and be careful. But don’t miss the fun of watching typhoons up close. For example, there are traditional typhoons called “Dragon King” and “Dian Mu”, dreamy typhoons called “Dandelion” and “Galaxy”, and some called “Compass”. ", "Haima" such funny typhoons. Every time a typhoon comes, the sound made by the wind blowing on the windows is specially designed to be used as a dubbing for movie special effects. A messy rush.
