Is Shanghai greatly affected by typhoons?

Shanghai was greatly affected by Typhoon Du Surui.

Typhoon "Du Surui" was strengthened to a super typhoon level on the evening of 24th. Although the intensity of typhoon will be weakened after landing due to many obstacles on land and undulating terrain, Shanghai is still affected to some extent due to its short distance. Shanghai was mainly affected by the peripheral circulation of Typhoon Du Surui from 27th to 29th. The cloud system increased, the wind increased, the temperature dropped slightly, and the maximum temperature dropped to about 3℃.

During the transit of Typhoon Du Surui in Shanghai, showers or thunderstorms also occurred, with rainfall of 3-5 mm in some areas and maximum hourly rainfall intensity of 2-4 mm.. Under the influence of typhoon, the wind will also increase. The wind speed can reach 5 and the gust is 6-7. The wind power in coastal areas along the Yangtze River and rivers and lakes can reach 6 and the gust is 7-8.

Introduction of typhoon structure:

1. Typhoon eye area

Typhoon eye area is very strange, where the wind is very small and the weather is clear, with an average diameter of about 4 kilometers. The sailors who are involved in it humorously call typhoon eye "Xanadu".

2. Cloud wall area

The cloud wall area around the typhoon eye, which is expected to be 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.

3. Spiral rain belt area

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