Chinanews client, Beijing, October 13 (Reporter Lang Lang) This year the No. 18 "compass" will land in the coastal area from Wenchang to Lingshui in Hainan.
As an autumn typhoon, its intensity is constantly increasing, its diameter is large, and its influence is wide. It will bring strong wind and rain to Guangdong, Hainan and other places.
According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, this year's No. 18 "Compass" will land on the coast from Wenchang to Lingshui in Hainan around the evening of October 13.
It is estimated that from 14:00 on the 13th to 14:00 on the 14th, as well as the coasts of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan Island and its coastal areas, there will be strong winds of magnitude 6-8 and gusts of magnitude 9-10. The center of the "compass" will pass The wind force in the nearby sea area or area is 11-13, and the gust can reach 14-16.
The Central Meteorological Observatory upgraded and issued a typhoon orange warning on October 13.
There were heavy to heavy rains in southeastern Zhejiang, northeastern Fujian, central and southern Taiwan Island, southwestern Guangxi, and most of Hainan Island. Among them, southeastern Zhejiang, southeastern Taiwan Island, northeastern Fujian, central and western coastal areas of Guangdong, and Hainan There were heavy rainstorms in parts of the central and southern parts of the island, and there were extremely heavy rainstorms in the southeastern part of Taiwan Island.
As an autumn typhoon, why does the intensity of the "compass" continue to increase?
According to Gao Shuanzhu, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the typhoon "compass" is generated on the tropical ocean surface of the eastern Philippines. In its moving path, the Shanghai surface has high temperature, great instability, and abundant water vapor in the middle and lower layers, so it has conditions for strengthening.
The "compass" is large, with a diameter of more than 1,000 kilometers; it interacts significantly with cold air and has a wide range of wind and rain. After entering the South China Sea, it moves steadily westward, and its center is close to the eastern coastal area of Hainan.
Gao Shuanzhu said that the diameter of the compass is relatively large and the scope of influence is wider. The areas most affected by the wind and rain of the compass this time are the coastal areas of Guangdong and most of Hainan Island.
In addition, the No. 17 typhoon "Lion Mountain" has just affected Hainan and other places, and the typhoon "Compasses" has followed one after another. Gao Shuanzhu said that Hainan's precipitation is overlapping, and special attention should be paid to floods and geological disasters.
In addition, it is necessary to take measures such as suspension of work, suspension of business, suspension of school, closure of scenic spots, etc., to do a good job in wind protection and reinforcement of outdoor facilities, reservoir inspections, and water storage scheduling.
