China Weather News. Entering October, typhoons on the sea became unusually active. As soon as the sprinkler “Lion Mountain” left, another huge typhoon began to approach Hainan Island. This year’s No. 18 typhoon “Compasses” used the cloud system to draw a great circle with a diameter of more than 2,000 kilometers. The current path of the “Compasses” is stable and straight to the west, heading for Hainan, which may be the strongest typhoon affecting South China this year.
The big “compass” walks in a straight line or may become the strongest typhoon affecting South China this year
In the early morning of today (12th), the “compass” has entered the South China Sea. The friends in Guangdong and Fujian have already felt the power of the “compass” in the whirring gale. Monitoring showed that there were instantaneous gales of magnitude 10-13 along the coasts of Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan yesterday. This morning, there were still gusts of magnitude 8 along the coasts of Fujian and Guangdong, among which gusts of magnitude 10 occurred in Sanfo Mountain, Fujian. The area with the strongest rainfall occurs in Taiwan, and the accumulated rainfall in parts of eastern Taiwan has exceeded 500 millimeters.
According to Min Yuqiu, a meteorological analyst at China Weather, the “compass” is characterized by its huge size, asymmetrical structure, and a stable path going straight to Hainan. It may be the strongest typhoon affecting southern China this year.
Yesterday, the diameter of the outer cloud system of the “compass” exceeded 2,000 kilometers. Today, the intensity has increased and the structure is somewhat compact, but the cloud system still covers the entire central and northern part of the South China Sea.
