Autumn is second only to summer and the second most active season for typhoons. From 1949 to 2019, there were 45 typhoons that landed in my country in October. Compared with September, the number of typhoons has doubled and decreased.

The landing points were mostly concentrated in southern China. From 1949 to 2019, there were basically no typhoons that landed north of Jiangsu in October. area.

In terms of intensity, of the 45 typhoons that landed in October, 23 were typhoons and above. The number of strong typhoons and super typhoons was more than in June, but more than in midsummer (July to August) and early autumn. Much less.
