Which areas in my country will Typhoon No. 6 "Mikra" affect?

? This year’s No. 6 typhoon, Mikra, has gradually weakened in intensity since it landed in Zhangzhou, Fujian on the 11th. In the afternoon, it weakened into a tropical depression. The Central Meteorological Observatory stopped numbering it at 17:00 on the 11th. Meteorological big data shows that more than 70% of the typhoons that landed in Fujian from 1949 to 2019 first landed in Taiwan and then Fujian. This time, Mikra avoided Taiwan and went straight to Fujian, which is relatively rare. Meteorological engineers said that "Mikra" is a typical South China Sea typhoon, which mainly affects the Fujian region of my country and is already weakening.

Senior engineer at the Central Meteorological Observatory Meteorological experts said that typhoons that affect my country usually have three paths: westward, northwest and diversion. From a geographical point of view, it is difficult for typhoons that land in Fujian to avoid Taiwan. Big data from China Weather Network shows that from 1949 to 2019, 102 typhoons landed in Fujian, 73 of which landed in Taiwan first and then Fujian. What is different from most typhoons that land in Fujian is that Mikra is a typical South China Sea typhoon. It grows in the monsoon trough and is then guided by the subtropical high pressure on its east side to move northward. Therefore, it does not pass directly through Taiwan. Entering Fujian, typhoons like Mikra are relatively rare. In fact, there is no need to worry too much. After Typhoon Mikra landed in Fujian, its intensity has weakened and there is no tendency to expand.

According to reports from meteorological observatory engineers, the intensity of Mikra has weakened after landing, and its impact on our country has basically ended. However, experts said that as the subtropical high pressure moves northward, the equatorial westerly winds and the monsoon trough formed by its combination will still create favorable conditions for the generation of typhoons. Typhoons have been active since August, with four typhoons already forming one after another. In the next ten days, one or two more typhoons are expected to form, so we should not relax our vigilance along the southeastern coast. Therefore, everyone in the southeast coastal area needs to pay attention and take some preventive measures to nip problems in the bud, which is the safest.
