Does the typhoon in Xiamen affect flights

Typhoon Xiamen will have some impact on flights.

for safety reasons, airlines will adjust flights in typhoon-affected areas according to the path and development of the typhoon, and the affected flights may be delayed or even cancelled. Typhoon weather also has a certain impact on aircraft, such as bumps, lightning strikes, hail, low visibility and wind direction changes.

The reason why the typhoon bumps the plane is that the typhoon can generate strong wind speed at the bottom, which is easy to cause severe bumps and affect the flight of the plane. Lightning strike refers to the lightning strike time easily caused by the strong electric field when the plane passes through the thunderstorm area. Hail means that typhoon weather sometimes produces hail weather, and the speed of aircraft flight is easily hit by hail.

at the same time, typhoon will cause low visibility, and fog and heavy precipitation will cause low visibility, which will cause great obstacles to aircraft. And the wind has become a recognized invisible killer, but also the enemy of flight accidents.

Structure of typhoon:

Typhoon is a deep low-pressure system, and its central air pressure is very low, and there is an air flow converging towards the center at the lower level, and the air flow at the top mainly diverges outward. If the typhoon is cut horizontally, we can see that there are three obviously different areas, from the center to the outside: typhoon eye area, cloud wall area and spiral rain belt area.

Typhoon Eye Area: It is very strange, where the wind is very light and the weather is clear, with an average diameter of 4 kilometers. The sailors who are involved in it humorously call the typhoon Eye "Xanadu".

cloud wall area: the cloud wall area around the typhoon eye, which is tens of kilometers wide and tens of kilometers high, is also called eye wall. The cloud wall is towering here, the wind is howling, the rain is pouring, the sea is churning, and the weather is the worst.

spiral rain belt area: there are spiral rain belts outside the cloud wall, where several rain (cloud) belts converge spirally around the eye wall. The rain bandwidth is tens of kilometers to hundreds of kilometers, and it is several Qian Qian meters long. There will be showers and windy weather where the rain belt passes.
