Typhoon July occurrence Zero for the first time "Be alert and be prepared" Meteorological Agency July 31 23:20
There were no typhoons in July. This is the first time since the Japan Meteorological Agency started the statistics, but the Japan Meteorological Agency calls for “I do not guarantee that this situation will continue and I want you to proceed with preparations without being alert”.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, no typhoon occurred in July.
This is the first time since 1948 when we started collecting statistics.
In addition, this year, there were two outbreaks from January to July, and the number of outbreaks per year is the second lowest after 1998.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said that the sea surface temperature in the Indian Ocean was higher than normal and the activity of cumulonimbus was so active that it became inactive in the northwestern Pacific, making it difficult for typhoons to form.
However, in 2016, when there were only four typhoons until July, 22 typhoons occurred one after another, and Typhoon No. 10 in August entered a group home in Iwaizumi Town, Iwate Prefecture. 9 people have died, causing great damage.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said, "There is no guarantee that the number of typhoons will remain low. The sea surface temperature in the region where they occur is high, and typhoons are likely to develop. ".
