Explained simply
Typhoons are powerful tropical storms that can bring very strong winds and heavy rain. They form over warm seas and can affect coastal areas when they move on to land.
China is regularly affected by typhoons, especially along its coast. Local authorities may issue warnings and advise people to avoid dangerous areas, as strong winds can damage buildings, disrupt transport and put people at risk.
