Why is Cangnan often hit by typhoons?

This is related to the special geographical location of Cangnan County.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the proportion of typhoons hitting the mainland in Cangnan County is quite high. Including this year's 13 typhoon, seven typhoons have chosen to "land" in Cangnan.

Why does the typhoon "prefer" to land in Cangnan County? This is related to the special geographical location of Cangnan County. "The landing sites are basically concentrated in Xiaguan Town and Jinxiang Town of Cangnan County. Geographically, the two towns protrude slightly from the land to the overseas. Xiaguan Town is located at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, reaching out to the sea like a hand, protecting Shacheng Port in Fujian, and often becoming the first place where typhoons come into contact. "

Another reason why typhoons like to land in Cangnan County is related to the low latitude of Cangnan. "The higher the latitude, the less typhoons land. In history, few typhoons landed in Shandong, Jiangsu and Shanghai, and only a few typhoons landed in northern Zhejiang. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been only five typhoons. "
