3. Tropical cyclones

Tropical cyclone is a low-pressure vortex that occurs on the surface of tropical or subtropical ocean, and it is a powerful and profound tropical weather system. That is, a mesoscale or synoptic warm cyclone generated on the tropical ocean surface. It can be found in the western Pacific Ocean and its adjacent waters (typhoons), the Atlantic Ocean and the Northeast Pacific Ocean (hurricanes), the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean.

4. Strong winds and hail

The damage time is short.
