Are typhoons only in China?

It is a natural phenomenon that occurs mostly in coastal areas due to various conditions such as climate change and changes in drainage.

Typhoons are not limited to China. A typhoon is a type of intense tropical cyclone that originates over the tropical ocean. Typhoons are called "hurricanes" in Europe and North America, and "typhoons" in East and Southeast Asia. In the Bay of Bengal region, it is called a "cyclonic storm"; In the Southern Hemisphere, it is called a cyclone.

During typhoon weather, the tropical cyclone centre will have sustained winds of 12 (i.e. metres per second or above). A tornado is a strong wind vortex accompanied by a high-speed rotating funnel-shaped cloud column produced by the strong convective movement of two streams of air under extremely unstable weather conditions, unlike a typhoon.

In the international meteorological community, hurricanes and typhoons are both winds formed by tropical cyclones, and cyclones in the Atlantic, eastern Pacific and Indian oceans are commonly called hurricanes. Cyclones that form over the northwest Pacific are commonly referred to as typhoons or tropical storms or tropical depressions, and generally have winds of 10 or more at the center of a cyclone are called typhoons.

Tornadoes develop due to small whirlpools of air currents over a small area of land or sea, and their movement speed is fast, but they are also short-lived, often disappearing in just a few minutes to more than an hour. However, the central wind speed of the tornado was very high, and there were records of the tornado's rolled up grass poles breaking through a 1-inch plank, and later calculations showed that the central wind speed of the tornado exceeded the speed of sound.

Hello dear, I am happy to answer for you No province in Chinese mainland is completely immune to typhoons. Due to China's special geographical location, coastal provinces are often in the path of typhoons, so they are all likely to be hit by typhoons. The provinces that are more commonly affected by typhoons include Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Taiwan and other places.

Other coastal provinces such as Hainan, Guangxi, Jiangsu, and Shanghai will also be affected by the typhoon to varying degrees. It is worth noting that inland provinces such as Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, etc., are usually not affected by typhoons, as typhoons mainly move through ocean paths. However, even inland provinces may be affected by weather disasters such as heavy rain and strong winds in Sinchai caused by typhoons.

Therefore, no matter where you are in China, you need to be vigilant against typhoons and related weather phenomena and follow the appropriate protective measures.

The causes of the formation of typhoons are:

Typhoons originate in tropical seas, where temperatures are high and large amounts of seawater are evaporated into the air, creating a center of low pressure. As the air pressure changes and the earth itself moves, the incoming air also rotates, forming a whirlpool of air that rotates counterclockwise, which is called a tropical cyclone. As long as the temperature does not drop, this tropical cyclone will become more and more powerful, and eventually a typhoon will form.

How exactly does a typhoon form, and why does it only appear in the summer?

Because of the contrast between the cold and heat of the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere
