htmlTyphoon No. 23 "Gemei" has spawned
Breaking the long-dormant "window period" of typhoons
At the same time, the tropical depression in the South China Sea on the west side
is also expected to become a typhoon in the next 24 hours
The first two typhoons to dance together this year is about to form

According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, this year’s No. 3 typhoon "Gaemi" (tropical storm level) (English name: gaemi; name origin: South Korea; name meaning: a very small, highly gregarious insect) It has been generated on the northwest Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines around 14:00 today. At 14:00, its center is about 730 kilometers east of Manila, Philippines. The central wind force is level 8 (18 meters/second).
It is expected that "Gemei" will
move slowly northwest at a speed of about 5 kilometers to 10 kilometers per hour
Today, Xiamen continues to issue
high temperature orange warning signals
Multiple monitoring sites in Xiamen appeared
38 this afternoon High temperatures above ℃
are affected successively by the subtropical high pressure
and the typhoon's peripheral downdraft
Our city will turn on the "air conditioner outdoor unit" mode
The heat generated by the peripheral circulation will affect our city
There will be sustained high temperature weather next week
West The tropical depression on the side of the South China Sea
is also about to upgrade
The center of another tropical low on the west side of the South China Sea
At 8 o'clock today (20th), it was located on the sea about 265 kilometers east-south of Yongxing Island, Sansha City, Hainan Province
(Northern latitude 15.8 degrees, 114.6 degrees east longitude)
The maximum wind force near the center is level 6 (12 meters/second)
The lowest pressure at the center is 1004 hPa
It is expected that the low pressure will move westward at a speed of
15 kilometers to 20 kilometers per hour
Moving northward
the intensity is slowly increasing
and may develop into
html Typhoon No. 24 "Pibian"
tonight or tomorrow, and will
make landfall on the coast from eastern Hainan Island to western Guangdong
when it makes landfall, the intensity will reach a tropical storm. Level
(level 8-9, 20 meters/second-23 meters/second)
According to the analysis of Xinxin, an analyst at China Weather Network, the low pressure in the South China Sea developed relatively slowly, and after becoming typhoon No. 24 "Pibian", it landed in my country. There is basically no suspense about in South China. Typhoon No. 3 "Gemei" is stronger and may intensify into super typhoon when it enters the East China Sea later.
Li Ning, a meteorological analyst at China Weather Network, also said that Typhoon No. 23 heading to East China next week will be stronger and more suspenseful. In the future, it will bring significant rainfall to South China, and may move all the way north, and become the strongest typhoon in the Northwest Pacific this year and the most widespread impact on our country.
The number of typhoons this year
is less than the same period in previous years
Last year, the No. 3 typhoon "Guchao" was formed on June 6. By July 15 last year, there were already 4 typhoons. As of July 19 this year, there were only two typhoons in the northwest Pacific and the South China Sea, 3.9 fewer than the same period in normal years (5.9).
Why is this year’s typhoon so “depressing”? This is related to the significantly stronger intensity of the subtropical high, which suppresses the "hotbed" for typhoon generation, that is, the initial disturbed convective activity in the Intertropical Convergence Zone, resulting in low typhoon activity. However, as the subtropical high moves northward in late July, the typhoon's "silent" situation for many days will be broken.
Entering the "typhoon month" of July
Typhoons begin to "catch up"
Generally, typhoons in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea may occur throughout the year. According to statistics from the China Weather Network, except for the period from January to March when no typhoons landed in my country, there were records of typhoons landing in the other months. However, starting from July, the number of typhoons forming and making landfall has increased significantly. On July 26 last year, Super Typhoon No. 5 "Dusuri" brought severe wind and rain to Xiamen.
Among them, the most concentrated period of typhoons landing in my country is from July to September. August has the largest number of landing typhoons, and July ranks second with an average of 1.8 landing typhoons. But after entering July, not only did the number of typhoons increase suddenly, but the intensity also increased significantly compared with the first half of the year. Judging from the intensity of typhoons that landed in my country in July, typhoon level accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 30%. Severe typhoons and super typhoons accounted for 11.5% and 3.7% respectively.
The tropical low pressure in the South China Sea
has no obvious impact on our city
The tropical low pressure east of the Philippines
is likely not to bring cool rain to Xiamen
but to bring high temperature and heat waves
Meteorological experts remind
At present, "Gemei" and the South China Sea Tropical There are still great uncertainties in the movement path and intensity development of low pressure
The Municipal Meteorological Observatory will continue to pay attention to its dynamics
Citizens are advised to pay attention to the latest forecast
