What are the real-time paths of typhoons?

Typical paths of typhoon include westbound path, northwest path and turning path.

When the atmospheric circulation in the northwest Pacific is complex or abrupt, some abnormal paths of tropical cyclones will appear. The common abnormal paths are: the sudden northward movement of typhoon in the South China Sea, the snake-like swing path, and the mutual rotation of two typhoons. These paths are strange.

Westbound route: Tropical cyclones always move westward from the source (referring to the east of the Philippines) and often land in Guangdong and Hainan. Northwest Path: Tropical cyclones move from the source to the northwest, and most of them land in the coastal areas of Taiwan Province Province, Fujian Province and Zhejiang Province. Turning path: the tropical cyclone moves from the source to the northwest and turns to the northeast when it approaches the eastern coast of China.

Typhoon definition

Typhoon is a kind of tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclone is a low-pressure vortex that occurs on the surface of tropical or subtropical oceans, and it is a powerful and profound "tropical weather system". In China, tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and the Northwest Pacific are classified into six grades according to the maximum average wind speed near the bottom center, and the wind near the center reaches 12 or above, which is collectively called typhoon.

Broadly speaking, the word "typhoon" is not the intensity of tropical cyclones. 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.
