Typhoon 🌀
Hello everyone!
Let read about Typhoons. 🌀
A typhoon is a name for a cyclone, a big storm that forms in warm, tropical ocean waters of the world.
A typhoon forms when winds blow into areas of the ocean where the water is warm. These winds collect moisture and rise, while colder air moves in below. This creates pressure, which causes the winds to move very quickly. The winds rotate, or spin, around a center called an eye. The more warm air and moisture there is, the more intense the winds. While typhoons can occur any time of year, the conditions are most likely to be right for them to happen between June and November. 🌩🌫⛈
In order for a storm to be a typhoon, wind speeds have to reach at least 74 miles per hour. Once a storm becomes a typhoon, wind speed also determines the category of the storm. A category one storm is the lowest level, with winds blowing from 74 to 95 miles per hour. The highest and most destructive storms are in category five, with wind speeds reaching 157 miles per hour or even higher. 💨
A typhoon, Typhoon Shanshan, has been forecasted to hit Japan this week.🌀
The typhoon is moving very close to the Amami region of Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan but it's path is difficult to predict.
It's expected to bring widespread heavy rains, including along the Pacific coast from western to eastern Japan from Tuesday night through Thursday.
Please stay safe and be on high alert for destructive winds and flooding!! 🏠
