The typhoon is called Shanshan and comes from Hong Kong. Just a regular girl's name. A typhoon is a tropical cyclone, and only tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea are called typhoons. Other areas vary, some are called hurricanes, some are called phoenixes, and some are called Baguio winds. But they are all one climate phenomenon? tropical cyclones. Not all tropical cyclones can be called typhoons. Only when the wind force reaches a certain level can they be called typhoons or other similar titles. Typhoons all rise from tropical low pressure to tropical storms and then to severe tropical storms. Some typhoons can be upgraded to severe typhoons and super typhoons. And when the typhoon rages, it will gradually weaken. Eventually it became a tropical depression and disappeared.
The name of the typhoon originated from the United States. At that time, Americans named the storm Maria in a novel called "The Storm" (the protagonist of this novel is actually the storm). The book was very popular at the time and had a great impact. Therefore, Americans began to name typhoons after girls, using girls' names starting with letters other than Q, U, X, Y, and Z. The total number is divided into four groups, each group has 21 names, which are used repeatedly. Later, due to the opposition of feminists, the naming list was changed to six groups, three groups of men and three groups of women. It was also the first time for Americans to name typhoons in the northwest Pacific.
After the founding of New China, typhoons near China began to be named. At first, they were just serial numbers. Later, in compliance with new international regulations, the determination of wind power levels was changed, but they were still named according to year and serial number. At the beginning of the 21st century, countries around the world began to use naming tables. At the 30th session of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization held in Hong Kong, China, in 1998, it was decided to implement a nomenclature list for typhoons in the Western Pacific and South China Sea. One day, 14 countries and regions participated in the meeting. Each country or region provided 10 names, with a total of 140 names. Typhoon No. 13 Shanshan was a name proposed by Hong Kong, China.
