How much rain can a typhoon rain?
Typhoon is the most efficient precipitation system on Earth, and our 24-hour rain record is almost entirely created by Typhoon.
Typhoon is the strongest" water pump"
Typhoon is the most efficient weather system on Earth, which continuously transports ocean water to land.Our country’s record of extreme rainfall is almost all related to Typhoon:
- River S"75·8"Extreme Rainstorm (7503 Typehoon Nine Remains) : River S Forest 24h rainfall of 1060.3 mm, recorded in mainland China
- 2023 Typhoon "Doksuri" Remaining Circulation: Beijing, River N has historically rare Extreme Rainstorm, River N has accumulated 1003 mm of rainfall
- 2009 Typhoon "Morakot": Taiwan's Ali mountain process rainfall exceeds 3,000 mm, close to local year-round rainfall
For comparison, Beijing has an average of about 600 millimeters of rainfall throughout the year – an extreme typhoon with more rainfall per day than in Beijing a year.
Three Zoom iners for extreme precipitation
- Ground up.: 暖湿气流撞上山脉被迫抬升, 凝结效率倍增. Taiwan中央山脉, 闽浙丘陵, 太行Shandong麓都是"雨量Zoom in器".
- Slow or stagnant speed.: Typhoon Moving Slowly, The same area was repeatedly washed by spiral rains". "Morakot" was the main cause of its disaster wandering near Taiwan for two days.
- Rest circulation + cold airTyphoon Landfall weakened after the residual turbine combined with the N-side cold air, precipitation efficiency exploded again – "75·8" and "23·7" Chinese NRainstorm are all this mechanism, which is also why "Typhoon died more dangerous than living".
Why the name Typhoon has been removed mostly related to Rainstorm
Typhoon names that caused major disasters will be permanently deleted, such as"Morakot""Haiyan""Mangkhut""Doksuri"—which a considerable part of the major disasters are extreme rains and floods, not strong winds.
