Core Viewpoint - The 26th typhoon "Phoenix" is expected to make landfall in the southwestern coast of Taiwan on the afternoon to night of November 12, following significant damage caused in the Philippines after its landfall on November 9 [1][2]. Group 1: Typhoon Characteristics - Typhoons can still form and be active in November, which is not unusual, as the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea are the only regions globally where typhoons can occur year-round [1]. - The period from April to December is the main time for typhoons to make landfall [1]. - Historical data shows that from 2001 to 2024, there have been eight years with the occurrence of double typhoons in November [1]. Group 2: Typhoon Intensity and Impact - Generally, typhoons in November may be weaker due to cooler weather, but this is not always the case; warmer sea temperatures can still lead to the formation of strong or even super typhoons [1]. - The 2013 Typhoon "Haiyan" was a notable example, causing catastrophic impacts in the Philippines and Vietnam, with over 6,300 deaths in the Philippines and economic losses exceeding $2 billion [2]. Group 3: Typhoon Path and Forecast - The predicted path of "Phoenix" shows a northwest turn, then a shift to the northeast, influenced by the subtropical high and the southwest wind trough in South China [2]. - The typhoon is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rainfall to eastern and southern coastal areas of China, particularly in southeastern Fujian and eastern Taiwan, with warnings for potential geological disasters and urban flooding [3]. Group 4: Future Typhoon Activity - Current monitoring indicates that there is a low likelihood of additional typhoons forming in the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea in the near future, aside from "Phoenix" [4].
