For the first time in 71 years, there was no typhoon in July. Do you think this is a good thing?

No typhoon in July is not a good thing.

Everything has two sides, and what matters is that going too far is not enough, rather than one-sidedly saying that something is good if it is not, and it is bad if it is not. So typhoons bring us both advantages and disadvantages.

The benefits are: First, typhoons mostly occur in coastal areas. Although they have a large amount of sea water resources, they cannot provide fresh water resources for daily life. Typhoons bring a lot of rain to coastal areas, thus Bring abundant fresh water resources. Secondly, the speed of typhoons is much higher than that of ordinary winds, usually reaching more than 200 kilometers per hour. They have huge energy and rely on the flow of energy to maintain the earth's thermal balance. The earth has various temperature zones and promotes the development of human civilization. Thirdly, in addition to bringing abundant freshwater resources, typhoons also bring abundant mineral resources and food, which promote the development of human civilization. Typhoons cause seawater to roll, rolling up nutrients and minerals from the bottom of the river, causing a large number of fish bait to appear on the coast, attracting many sea creatures. Fourth, in places close to and within the tropics, typhoons dissipate a large amount of heat, preventing desertification in many places.

Everything should be done in excess. If the typhoon is too strong, there will be strong winds, storms, and storm surges. These three types will bring direct disasters to mankind.

High winds can damage buildings. Typhoon wind speeds are mostly above 17 meters/second, or even above 60 meters/second. According to measurements, when the wind reaches level 12, the wind pressure per square meter on a plane perpendicular to the wind direction can reach 230 kilograms. Such force is enough to destroy bridges, houses, vehicles and ships, and even cause casualties.

Storms can cause severe flooding.

Storm surges can cause flooding. Storm surge is a phenomenon in which severe atmospheric disturbances, such as strong winds and sudden changes in air pressure, cause the sea water to rise and fall abnormally, causing the tidal level in the affected sea area to greatly exceed the normal sea level. This phenomenon is called storm surge and is a marine disaster. It can cause water levels to surge, embankments to burst, ships to capsize, farmland to be flooded, and houses to be destroyed. It caused a large number of casualties and property losses to people on the coast.

The disasters caused by these typhoons will cause a large number of casualties and property losses.

So the absence of typhoons in July is not a good thing. Just like this year’s Australian forest fires and the various natural disasters they subsequently caused, these are the earth’s counterattack against human destruction of nature, and should be worthy of our deep thought. And take necessary measures to reduce the occurrence of such disasters.
