Typhoon Kanu hit, Zhejiang many places are strictly prevented
Recently, the news of Typhoon Kanu has attracted widespread attention. According to the latest warning issued by the Central Meteorological Observatory, the typhoon will make landfall in the coastal areas of the mainland around August 5, and the current expected landing site is Zhejiang. In this upcoming typhoon, the storm damage caused by Typhoon Kanu will be very serious, and we need to be fully prepared.
The formation of Typhoon Kanu was quite tortuous. It was formed with the help of the influence of Typhoon Dususuri. During the northward journey of Typhoon Dusuri, it extracted the energy of the humid air flow in the South China Sea, causing a shortage of low-pressure energy in the South China Sea, thus helping to strengthen Typhoon Kanu. With such a huge amount of water vapor, Typhoon Kanu will be more powerful than Typhoon Dusuri, and the amount of rainfall brought is unimaginable.
Currently, Typhoon Kanu is moving more slowly and is expected to delay landfall until around August 5. During this period, the northern subtropical high was suppressed by the Siberian cold air, making the typhoon unable to advance and showing a slow-moving state. Although the exact location of Typhoon Kanu has not yet been determined, it is predicted that it may pass through Shanghai and then move north. No matter where the typhoon eventually makes landfall, it will bring us a lot of rain and may cause mudslides, flash floods and other disasters, so we must be prepared in advance.
In addition to the power of typhoons, have you ever known the naming of typhoons? In fact, the naming of typhoons is exquisite. According to WMO, naming facilitates the differentiation of typhoons and facilitates media coverage and information exchange. The naming of typhoons is also related to the culture of each country, for example, China likes to use names related to myths and stories, Thailand likes to use fruit names, and Japan and Korea like to use animal names.
The name of Typhoon Kanu was proposed by Thailand, taken from the Thai specialty fruit jackfruit. The name Kanu has been used three times in 2005, 2012 and 2017, causing serious disasters. In addition, if a typhoon causes particularly serious disasters and casualties, the name will be replaced.
In the face of the impending Typhoon Kanu, we must remain highly vigilant and take timely preventive measures. In this typhoon, safety comes first, and the safety of people's lives and property is the most important. Let's work together to cope with this storm and ensure everyone's safety!
