No.8 No.9 No.10 Typhoon generation two reasons one after another August 6th 18:05

Typhoon No. 8 went to the sea north of Kyushu, but for a while after that, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention to landslide disasters, strong winds, and high waves.

On the other hand, Typhoon No. 10 occurred on the sea south of Japan. Japan is expected to have an impact on Typhoon No. 9 on the eastern coast of the Philippines, so attention is needed for future information.

Why are typhoons occurring one after another on the sea south of Japan?
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the reasons for this are “seawater warmer than normal” and “seasonal wind from the west”.

Sea surface temperature higher than normal

From the eastern Philippines to the Mariana Islands, where typhoons have been generated one after another, the sea surface temperature is higher than normal, and it is easy to generate water vapor that causes cumulonimbus clouds.

The influence of the seasonal wind from the west

Also, in the sea south of Japan, the seasonal wind blows from the west to the east, but since this month, it has flowed more strongly than normal. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, this west wind swirls with the eastern wind that moves around the edge of the Pacific High and the typhoon is likely to occur.

This situation is expected to continue in the future, and the Japan Meteorological Agency wants you to be aware of typhoon information.
