How is a typhoon named? Why is this typhoon called Anemone?

There are a total of 140 names in the naming list, which are provided by 14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region under the World Meteorological Organization: Cambodia, China, North Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Micronesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam, so as to facilitate the people of all countries to prevent disasters and strengthen international and regional cooperation. Of the 140 typhoon names proposed by the 14 members, 10 were proposed by each country and region. The 10 proposed by China are:

Dragon King (later replaced by "Anemone"), Wukong, Jade Rabbit, Petrel, Wind God, Sea God, Cuckoo, Electric Mother, Seahorse, and Begonia. Interestingly, the names of typhoons in the western Pacific still rarely have the meaning of disaster in the international community, and most of them have the meaning of elegance and peace, such as jasmine, rose, pearl, lotus, colored clouds, etc., which do not seem to be in harmony with typhoon disasters. This is because if a typhoon arrives, it can effectively alleviate the local drought and bring sufficient precipitation to it, and under normal circumstances, the name of the typhoon is still extremely beautiful.

1] If a tropical cyclone causes particularly serious damage to a member of the Typhoon Committee, the member may apply for the name used for the tropical cyclone to be removed from the nomenclature and the name used for the tropical cyclone will be permanently named to that tropical cyclone (permanent name) and no longer be used for other tropical cyclones (typhoons). In this case, a new name must be added to the naming list.

The name of typhoon is based on the tropical cyclone nomenclature, which is the internationally accepted nomenclature.

According to the tropical cyclone's impact on the surrounding countries and regions, a naming table was developed and recycled year after year in order, and now there are more than 140 names on the nomenclature list, which are provided by 14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Cambodia, Chinese mainland, North Korea, Japan, Laos, etc.

Typhoons often use the name "gentle" in the hope that the damage caused by the typhoon will be less. However, the Typhoon Committee has a rule that if a typhoon causes particularly large damage to life and property, the name will be removed from the naming list, and the vacant name will be recommended again by the original providing member.

Typhoon structure

A typhoon is a deep system of depression with a very low central pressure, with significant convergence towards the center in the lower layers and major outward divergence in the top. If you cut the typhoon horizontally, you can see that there are three distinct areas, from the center to the outward: the typhoon eye area, the cloud wall area, and the spiral rain belt area.

Typhoon Eye Zone: Very peculiar, where the wind is very small, the weather is clear, and the average diameter is 40 kilometers, and the seafarers who are present in it humorously call the typhoon eye a "paradise" for typhoons.

Cloud wall area: The cloud wall area around the eye of the typhoon is dozens of kilometers wide and more than ten kilometers high, also known as the eyewall. Here the cloud walls are towering, the wind is howling, the rain is pouring down, the sea is churning, and the weather is at its worst.

Spiral rain belt area: outside the cloud wall is the spiral rain belt, there are several rain (cloud) bands converge around the eye wall in a spiral shape, the rain width is tens of kilometers to hundreds of kilometers, thousands of kilometers long, the rain belt will fall showers where it passes, and there will be windy weather.

The first time a typhoon was named was the 20th century Australian forecaster Krimhenlange, and the current way of naming typhoons is to make a naming table from the countries and regions surrounding the typhoon.

Throughout the summer, from Typhoon Umbia to Mangkhut, people wondered, how did the typhoon get named?

The internationally unified typhoon nomenclature is a nomenclature jointly formulated in advance by the countries and regions surrounding the typhoon, and then reused in a cyclical manner year after year.

Haikui Typhoon has a wind force of 14 near the center.

It was upgraded to a typhoon at 5:00 p.m. on August 6, 2012, about 420 kilometers southeast of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. At 14:00 on August 7, 2012, it was upgraded to a severe typhoon about 240 kilometers southeast of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. At 3:20 a.m. on August 8, 2012, it made landfall in Hepu Town, Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province, with a central pressure of 960 hPa and a near-center wind of 14.

Severe Typhoon Haikui (international number: 1211) was the 11th named storm of the 2012 Pacific typhoon season.

The name "sea anemone" is provided by China and is a marine animal, meaning a marine animal shaped like a flower, and the name was used for the first time in place of Typhoon Longwang, which caused a devastating disaster in China in 2005.

Precautions for going out in typhoon weather

1. Try to wear a raincoat when you go out, and don't use an umbrella.

2. Try to stay away from tall trees, sheds, erections, overhead wires, etc.

3. Do not walk under high walls, billboards and residential buildings to avoid emergencies such as heavy objects tilting or falling objects from high altitudes.

4. Avoid high-rise construction sites, and do not approach tower cranes or construction site walls.

5. Pay attention to the stagnant water on the street, and do not walk on the edge of the road or on the whirlpool road to avoid falling into the manhole.

6. Before driving out, be sure to check whether the wiper digger, brakes, lights, warning triangles, etc. are neat and intact. Novice drivers should not force themselves on the road.

7. Prepare flashlights, candles, power banks, and spring ants to store drinking water and food.
