Why are typhoon names all female names?
"That sounds reasonable, but why not do something else?" Teacher Wu is an amateur meteorologist, so his questions are definitely unprofessional, but meteorologists seem to be quite patient.
"We named typhoons in the hope of personalizing them so that people can notice their whereabouts. If we use a man's name, no one will notice, and this will not serve as an alarm. You can think about it, if we call Typhoon Tom, or Ichiro Matsumoto, or Wang Xiaoqiang, people will ignore it, but when we say Typhoon Alice is coming, people will immediately check whether the doors and windows are closed. "
"You mean women are more terrible than men?"
"Sometimes, especially in the case of a storm. Angry women are like typhoons. When the air pressure drops, she will exert her strength in all directions. "
Mr. Wu didn't say a word. He was silently comparing his wife's anger with the arrival of the typhoon. He had to admit that what the experts said was really similar.
"The same storm effect is unlikely to happen to men. When men are angry, they look fierce at first, but they are often blown into the sea before a typhoon forms. " Having said that, the expert added, "This phenomenon is particularly obvious among men in Shanghai."
"What do you think is going on?"
"This only shows that in today's business society, modern women are under greater pressure than men. They often have to run between home and work. They have to face great professional pressure when they go to work during the day. They should do their job well, look at the boss's face and get on well with their colleagues. When they get home in a hurry, they will immediately throw themselves into the next battle, cooking, washing clothes, paying the gas bill and checking their children's homework. In this way, the strong atmospheric pressure is gradually accumulated in the busy, and when the husband returns home, these pressures are suddenly released, immediately forming an unstoppable vortex airflow in the cell. When this typhoon breaks out, the best way for men is to evacuate themselves to the basement, balcony or study, but few people can achieve their goals. "
"So, that's why the typhoon is named woman." Hearing this, Mr. Wu finally figured out the ins and outs.
Then, the meteorologist began to get down to business. The origin of typhoon naming he said was really related to the above dialogue. Many years ago, an American meteorologist named Mike Ebin was stationed in Kivisto. He found a typhoon blowing from Cuba. He immediately reported to his superiors in Miami. His superiors asked him to describe the shape of a typhoon. Mike Ebin said without thinking, "It's just like my wife Jiruiqin." His superiors immediately reported to Washington that a typhoon named Jiruiqin was hitting the Florida coast. The news was sent to newspapers and TV stations at the same time. According to the previous situation, the media wouldn't use a large space to report the typhoon, but now the typhoon suddenly has a woman's name called "Ji", which immediately aroused people's interest. This typhoon has received unprecedented attention. The people in the Meteorological Bureau were so excited that they decided to add women's names to all typhoons.
