Abstract:Using the data such as the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset, an analysis and review are conducted on the main characteristics of the typhoon activities in western North Pacific and the South China Sea in 2022, focusing on the tracks, intensities, and wind and rainfall impacts of the typhoons on China. The results are as follows. In 2022, the number of typhoons generated in western North Pacific and the South China Sea is consistent with the annual average, and the overall intensity of typhoons is relatively weak with significant northward shifts in their genesis regions. The number of landfalling typhoons is less, and their intensities upon landfall are comparatively weak. Three typhoons make landfall concentratedly in the western part of Guangdong, and the severe typhoon Muifa has become the first to make landfall in 4 different provinces since 1949. The multiple typhoon coexisting scenarios occur throughout the year with a total of 11 typhoon groups, which is a rare phenomenon. The typhoon-related disasters in 2022 exert relatively mild impacts, the summer of 2022 experiences less typhoons, while the autumn is characterized by intense typhoon activities.
