Why is Typhoon No.5 called "Du Surui"

Typhoon No.5 is called "Du" because its name was pre-named by 14 country and used repeatedly. According to the naming sequence table provided by South Korea, "Du" is the fifth name used.

From the beginning to the middle of the 20th century, the Japan Meteorological Agency gave typhoons a four-digit number, with the first two digits indicating the year and the last two digits indicating the typhoon serial number. Later, China also adopted this method when naming typhoons. The country will make a naming table in advance and then recycle it year after year in sequence. The naming table *** 140 names are provided by 14 countries and regions, including Cambodia, Chinese mainland, North Korea, China, Hongkong and Japan, and each country or region puts forward 10 names.

For example, on the website of China Meteorological Bureau, you can see that there is a four-digit number 2305 in front of Du, indicating the No.5 typhoon formed in 2023.

Typhoon countermeasures:

1. Pay attention to weather forecast and early warning: Typhoon warning is generally issued in advance, so that there is enough preparation time before the disaster begins. Paying close attention to weather forecasts and warnings every day is the first step to protect yourself.

2. Reserve enough food and water: Before the typhoon comes, you must reserve enough non-perishable food and drinking water for several days. This can avoid the shortage of food and water resources in bad weather.

3. Safe evacuation: People living in typhoon-prone areas should know how to evacuate to a safe place. It is very important to determine the nearest shelter or temporary safe place in advance and be familiar with the evacuation route.

4. Indoor protective measures: reinforce family buildings, and seal doors and windows with thick tape or wooden boards to prevent glass from breaking. Move easily damaged furniture and appliances to avoid extra danger in the storm.
