Super Typhoon Yagi: A Record-Breaker
The China Meteorological Administration (CMA) has identified Super Typhoon Yagi as the strongest autumn typhoon to make landfall in the Chinese mainland since 1949. 😮
Yagi, the 11th typhoon of this year, didn't mess around! It maintained its super typhoon status for a whopping 64 hours and caused significant damage across many areas of the Chinese mainland, according to the CMA.
Bebinca and Pulasan Join the Party
But Yagi wasn't alone. Typhoon Bebinca, the 13th typhoon of this year, made landfall in Shanghai at about 7:30 a.m. on September 16. Just a few days later, Typhoon Pulasan, the 14th typhoon of this year, touched down in east China's Zhejiang Province at about 6:50 p.m. on September 19.
The maximum wind force near their centers reached 42 and 25 meters per second, respectively! 💨 That's some serious wind power.
