What caused the typhoon weather?

1. The necessary conditions for typhoon formation are: the sea surface water temperature is above 26.5℃; Initial disturbance of a positive vorticity; The shear of ambient wind in the vertical direction is very small; Low pressure or cloud disturbance is at least several latitudes from the equator.

2. The initial stage of typhoon is tropical depression. It usually takes about 2 days from the initial low-pressure circulation to the maximum average wind force near the typhoon center, three or four days for a slow typhoon and only a few hours for a fast typhoon. In the development stage, the typhoon continuously absorbs energy until the central air pressure reaches the lowest value and the wind speed reaches the maximum value. After the typhoon landed, under the joint influence of ground friction and insufficient energy supply, it will quickly weaken the death.

3. Typhoon is a kind of tropical cyclone. 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". In China, tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and the Northwest Pacific are divided into six grades according to the maximum average wind speed near the center of the bottom layer, and those whose wind reaches 12 or above are collectively called typhoons.

Broadly speaking, the word "typhoon" is not the intensity of tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclones (including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons defined by the World Meteorological Organization) with sustained wind speeds of17.2m per second are called typhoons. On informal occasions, "typhoon" even directly refers to the tropical cyclone itself. When the tropical cyclone in the northwest Pacific reaches the intensity of a tropical storm, it is given a name. The name is provided by Typhoon Committee 14 of the World Meteorological Organization.
