Typhoons

Typhoons are tropical cyclones that form in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. They are characterized by strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and high waves. Typhoons are classified based on their wind speed, with Category 5 being the strongest. They can cause significant damage to ships, ports, and coastal infrastructure. Mariners must monitor typhoon warnings and take appropriate measures to avoid the storm, such as altering course or seeking shelter in a safe harbor. Typhoons can also impact global shipping routes, causing delays and disruptions to maritime trade.
