Common effects of typhoons on weather
1. Strong winds: There are violent storms and rain in the core area of typhoons, and the winds are usually very powerful and may reach or exceed hurricane levels. Strong winds can cause downed trees, damaged houses, and flying objects.
2. Heavy rain: The amount of precipitation brought by typhoons is usually very large, which may lead to disasters such as floods, flash floods, and mudslides. Heavy rainfall will also cause water accumulation on roads and flooding of urban drainage systems, affecting traffic and urban areas.
3. Storm surge: When a typhoon makes landfall or approaches the coast, it will form a storm surge, that is, the sea water will rise due to the force of the wind. Storm surges can cause seawater intrusion, coastal erosion, and flooding of coastal areas.
4. Thunderstorms and tornadoes: Typhoons are often accompanied by strong thunderstorm activities, which may produce extreme weather phenomena such as lightning, thunderstorms, strong winds, and tornadoes.
