Why is the typhoon called mangosteen?

First, colleagues from countries and regions around the typhoon make a naming list, and first give English names. Each member country and region can translate the names into local languages according to pronunciation or meaning. The name Mangkhut was provided by Thailand.

In the past, countries and regions concerned used different names to call tropical storms here, and the same typhoon often had several names, which easily caused confusion. Therefore, the World Meteorological Organization and the Typhoon Committee under ESCAP formulated a typhoon naming method, which was put into use on June 65438+1 October1day, 2000.

Extended data:

The naming table * * * has 140 names, which are provided by 14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region to which WMO belongs, such as Cambodia, China, North Korea, China, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Laos, Macau, China, Malaysia, Micronesia (Federated States of), Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, United States and Vietnam.

The 140 names are divided into 10 groups, and the 14 names in each group are arranged in alphabetical order according to the English names of the member countries, and are recycled in turn.

The Typhoon Committee also stipulates that if a tropical cyclone (typhoon) causes particularly serious losses to members of the Typhoon Committee, the member may apply to delete the name used by the tropical cyclone from the name list, and the name used by the tropical cyclone will be permanently named (permanent name), and other tropical cyclones will no longer use the name. At the same time add a new name to replace it.

For example, Typhoon Haiyan (super typhoon level) named by China landed in the Philippines in October113, causing huge economic losses and casualties.

Therefore, the 46th session of the Typhoon Committee of ESCAP/WMO decided to delete Haiyan from the list of tropical cyclones in the western Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea of the Typhoon Committee, and requested China to submit a new typhoon name to fill the vacancy.
