Why do typhoons have various names? How is the name of the typhoon named?

To know how a typhoon is named, we must first understand what a typhoon is. Refers to the tropical cyclone with the maximum wind force 12 or above in the middle of tropical or subtropical sea surface above 26 degrees. According to the intensity, it is divided into six grades: tropical depression, tropical storm, strong tropical storm, typhoon, strong typhoon and super typhoon, which is a natural disaster.

For the naming method of typhoon, the naming method of tropical cyclone is adopted, which is a unified naming method in the world. According to the influence of tropical cyclones on neighboring countries and regions, a naming list was made and recycled year after year. At present, there are more than 140 names on the naming list, which are provided by 14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Cambodia, Chinese mainland, North Korea, Japan and Laos. The top ten names of China are Dragon King, Wukong, Jade Rabbit, Haiyan, Fengshen, Poseidon, Rhododendron, Hippocampus and Haitang.

The origin of the name typhoon is very interesting. Typhoon was first named in Australia at the beginning of the second century. A weather information officer named a typhoon after a political figure he didn't like most, so that he could be teased publicly. Later, the naming system gradually improved, generally using some mild names, many typhoons have the meaning of elegance and peace. After all, typhoons can bring abundant rain to the local area and alleviate the local drought to a great extent. Changing the hot weather is not a big evil, such as the names of typhoons in Thailand: jasmine and rose.
