What is the concept of super typhoon?

Super typhoon means that the maximum average wind speed near the bottom center is ≥ 5 1.0m/s, that is, 16 or more.

This level of typhoon is called "Category 5 Typhoon" in meteorology, and it is one of the strongest typhoons, with great destructive power and great threat to people's lives and property. Super typhoons are usually accompanied by extreme weather phenomena such as strong winds, heavy rains, waves and hail. Its wind speed is fast enough to overturn light vehicles and even tall buildings. At the same time, the super typhoon will also cause serious floods, which will lead to the rise of river water level, the flooding of farmland and the destruction of houses.

A strong typhoon refers to a tropical cyclone with the maximum wind force14 ~15 (41.5 ~ 50.9 m/s) near the center. When the strong typhoon continues to strengthen, it will become a super typhoon. If the intensity of a strong typhoon weakens, it will become an ordinary typhoon. Typhoon not only harms human beings, but also protects them. Typhoon has brought fresh water resources to mankind, greatly alleviating the global water shortage. In addition, typhoons can keep the relative balance between cold and heat around the world.
