How did the typhoon get its name? Typhoon list

There have been frequent typhoons recently, and you can often see typhoons being named. But how did the typhoon get its name? Bian Xiao will introduce it to you today, but one thing we should pay attention to is not to travel when the typhoon comes.

How is a typhoon named

In fact, before the 2th century, when a typhoon came, all countries that might be affected would name it, resulting in many different names for the same typhoon. In order to avoid confusion, at the 3th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization held in Hong Kong in 1997, relevant countries and regions decided to standardize the naming of typhoons, namely, 14 member countries and regions including Cambodia, China, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Laos, China, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States, Micronesia and Vietnam. Each country or region puts forward 1 names to form a named list, so that you can use it directly when a typhoon comes. When all these names are used, you can start the loop from the beginning.

But if the typhoon causes great damage, its name will be permanently removed, and then the original nominated area will propose a new name to replace it. For example, the typhoon "Dragon King" in 25 was removed from the Typhoon Committee because it caused huge economic losses and casualties, and was later replaced by "Anemone" re-nominated by Chinese mainland.

To understand the naming rules of typhoons, friends in typhoons must pay attention to safety, pay attention to weather news in time, try to stay indoors, close doors and windows and protect themselves.

super typhoon.

2. Classification of tropical cyclones

Tropical cyclones are divided into six grades: tropical depression, tropical storm, strong tropical storm, typhoon, strong typhoon and super typhoon.

The maximum average wind speed near the center of tropical cyclone bottom is 1.8m/s~17.1m/s (wind force 6~7), which is a tropical depression.

when the wind reaches 17.2m/s ~ 24.4m/s (the wind force is 8~9), it is a tropical storm;

when it reaches 24.5 m/s ~32.6 m/s, it is a strong tropical storm (wind force 1~11);

when the wind reaches 32.7m/s ~ 41.4m/s (the wind force is 12~13), it is a typhoon;

when it reaches 41.5m/s ~ 5.9m/s, it is a strong typhoon (wind force 14~15);

or more than 51.m/s (wind force 16 or above) is a super typhoon.
