This autumn, the Chinese mainland is bracing for a series of powerful typhoons, with Super Typhoon Yagi standing out as the most formidable since 1949. Identified by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), Yagi is the 11th typhoon of the season and has maintained super typhoon status for an impressive 64 hours, causing significant damage across multiple regions.
Following closely, Bebinca, the 13th typhoon of the year, made landfall in Shanghai early on September 16, bringing intense winds and heavy rainfall. Just a few days later, Pulasan, the 14th typhoon, struck east China's Zhejiang Province around 6:50 p.m. on September 19. The CMA reported that the maximum wind forces near the centers of Bebinca and Pulasan reached 42 and 25 meters per second, respectively.
The continuous onslaught of typhoons this season highlights the increasing intensity of autumn storms in the region. Authorities are urging residents to stay informed and prepared as they navigate the challenges presented by these powerful weather systems.
