Why do typhoons always go to Hainan?

Because Hainan is an island, surrounded by sea, and located in the tropics, typhoons often make landfall, so people living in Hainan should be used to typhoons visiting.

Typhoons are generally generated at sea. Typhoons generated in the South China Sea will usually arrive in Hainan, so typhoons in Hainan also occur more often. In addition to Hainan, there are also Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Areas are also affected by typhoons.

And in Hainan, there are typhoons every year. From June to October every year, typhoons arrive in Hainan one after another. Therefore, people who live by the sea are generally very troubled by typhoons, but generally they can take a holiday if they suffer from severe typhoons in the city, so some office workers still feel quite happy.

Typhoons and hurricanes are both tropical cyclones. Because they are in different locations, they are called in different ways. In the northwest Pacific, that is, on our side of the country, they are all called typhoons. But in the Philippines, it’s called Baguio style, and in Mexico, it’s called whiplash, so it has its own name in different places.

Typhoons often land in Hainan, but there are generally very few very strong typhoons. The strongest typhoon that could be encountered was in 2014, when Rammasun landed in Hainan, near the center when it landed. The maximum wind force has reached level 17 and the minimum pressure has reached 910 hPa, so it has become one of the strongest typhoons in Hainan and the strongest typhoon to land in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, the economy of Hainan and other places has also been affected in 2014. Due to the typhoon's landing, crops were damaged and urban interiors were flooded, causing Hainan a direct loss of 26.55 billion.

So when a strong typhoon comes, it is also very dangerous, and it will also cause great losses to the economy of some parts of China. You still need to protect yourself when the typhoon comes.
