What is the basis for determining typhoon names?

It is a naming list jointly formulated in advance by the surrounding countries and regions where tropical cyclones are formed and affected. The naming list has 140 names, divided into 10 groups, arranged in alphabetical order of the English names of the surrounding countries and regions affected by the tropical cyclone, and is reused in sequence year after year.

A typhoon, a type of tropical cyclone, is a low-pressure vortex that occurs on tropical or subtropical oceans. It is a powerful and deep tropical weather system.

Conditions for the formation of a typhoon: sea surface temperature above 26.5℃, a certain initial disturbance of positive vorticity, small vertical shear of the ambient wind, and low pressure or cloud disturbance at least several degrees away from the equator.

The structure of a typhoon from the center outward is: typhoon eye area, cloud wall area, and spiral rain belt area.

What does White Typhoon mean?

The typhoon white warning was a meteorological disaster warning signal stipulated by the Guangdong Provincial Meteorological Bureau in May 2006, in addition to the four-color warning stipulated by the state. The white warning is a warning signal, indicating that the local area may be affected by a tropical cyclone within 48 hours.

Before a typhoon arrives, check in advance whether the roof, doors and windows are secure, and check whether the electrical circuits and natural gas in your home are safe. Remove hanging objects that may be blown by strong winds to ensure that there is no danger of falling objects from high altitudes.

Residents living in low-lying areas or old houses should follow the arrangements of the government and other relevant departments before a typhoon arrives, and move to a safe area in a timely manner if necessary.

Before a typhoon arrives, park your vehicle in a safe place. Do not park your vehicle under obstacles or trees, and do not park your vehicle in places where water may accumulate.

The difference between a typhoon and a hurricane is

The difference between typhoons and hurricanes is the location where they occur. Typhoons are generated in the western North Pacific, west of the International Date Line, including the South China Sea and the East China Sea. Hurricanes are tropical cyclones that originate in the Atlantic or eastern North Pacific.

Both typhoons and hurricanes refer to tropical cyclones with wind speeds exceeding 33 meters per second.

According to the intensity of typhoons, they are divided into six levels: tropical depression, tropical storm, severe tropical storm, typhoon, strong typhoon and super typhoon.

The arrival of a hurricane is usually accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains, which seriously threaten people's lives and property and have a great impact on people's livelihood, agriculture, economy, etc. It is a natural disaster with a large impact and serious harm.
