# Latest Shenzhen Typhoon News – Historical Shenzhen Typhoons and Preparedness Guide

**Shenzhen Typhoon Data at a Glance**Since 1945, the central tracks of 100 named typhoons have passed within 300 kilometers of downtown Shenzhen, Guangdong, averaging about 1.2 per year. The closest approach to Shenzhen was by Typhoon Maggie in 1999 (code 199903), passing about 6 kilometers away. The strongest peak intensity was reached by Typhoon Viola in 1969 (code 196903), with a minimum central pressure of 896 hPa and maximum winds of 75 m/s.

Shenzhen borders the South China Sea and is one of China’s largest cities most frequently affected by typhoons. The typhoon season runs from June to October, and in 2018 Typhoon MANGCHAT caused work and classes to be suspended across Shenzhen, with more than 10,000 trees toppled. Once a Shenzhen typhoon warning signal is issued, work and class suspensions take effect automatically under a clearly defined mechanism.
