What disaster risks may exist when a typhoon comes?

Natural disasters caused by typhoons include: strong winds, heavy rains, mudslides, landslides, floods, etc.

Typhoon (English: Typhoon) is a tropical cyclone. A tropical cyclone is a low-pressure vortex that occurs on the surface of tropical or subtropical oceans. It is a powerful and profound "tropical weather system."

Tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and the northwest Pacific are divided into six categories based on the maximum average wind speed near the center of their bottom. Among them, those with wind strength of level 12 or above near the center are collectively called typhoons.

Broadly speaking, the term "typhoon" does not refer to tropical cyclone intensity. Tropical cyclones (including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons defined by the World Meteorological Organization) with a central sustained wind speed of more than 17.2 meters per second are called typhoons.

Informally, "typhoon" even directly refers to the tropical cyclone itself. Tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific are named when they reach tropical storm intensity. The name is provided by 14 countries and regions on the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee.

According to statistics from the U.S. Navy Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the number of typhoons in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea from 1959 to 2004 is related to the month, with an average of 26.5 typhoons per year. The month with the most typhoons is August, followed by July and September.

In July 2020, there were no typhoons in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea, making it my country’s first “empty typhoon” in July since 1949.

At 10:00 on April 30, 2021, after consultation with the China Meteorological Administration, the Macao Geophysical and Meteorological Bureau, the Hong Kong Observatory and the Taiwan Provincial Meteorological Department, the 53rd Session of the ESCAP/World Meteorological Organization Typhoon Committee The meeting resolution was passed and six new typhoon names were officially announced, including "Ginkgo", "Koto", "Lagasa" and "Blue Lagoon".
