What is a typhoon? Let’s take a closer look at typhoons. Simply put, typhoons are tropical cyclones with winds blowing over 74 mph. Typhoons are given names to allow meteorologists to better inform the public about this type of weather. They are often happened in Taiwan and sometimes provide an unexpected day off for students and workers.
Typhoons cause widespread destruction, such as flooding, landslides, and building damage. A typhoon is usually accompanied by heavy rains and strong winds. Generally speaking, three to four typhoons hit Taiwan every year, usually in the summer. Some of them caused terrible flooding, especially in south Taiwan.
It is inevitable that typhoons will hit Taiwan again. Understanding some basic facts about typhoons can make them a little less frightening and a little more interesting.
