China, SE Asia Should Brace for Stronger Typhoons, Study Says

Yibada: China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia should expect more powerful typhoons in the coming years, a new study revealed. In a study conducted by a team of researchers from the United States, they have discovered that typhoons that hit the East and Southeast Asian regions have progressively become stronger in the last 40 years, the South China Morning Post reported. The scientists looked at the data gathered by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) run by the US Navy and Air Force and that from...
Super typhoons becoming more powerful and more frequent, new study finds

Sydney Morning Herald: The most destructive categories of tropical storms to strike the heavily populated regions of east Asia are becoming more intense and increasing as much as four-fold in frequency because of climate change, according to new research by US-based scientists. Since the late 1970s, typhoons making land in a region stretching from Vietnam and the Philippines to Korea and Japan have become 12 per cent to 15 per cent more intense. Those hitting south-east Asia with a category 4 or 5 strength have more...

Asia's typhoons have become more intense and frequent

Associated Press: Overall, landfalling Asian typhoon intensity has increased by about 12 percent in nearly four decades. But the change is most noticeable for storms with winds of 209 kilometers per hour or more (130 mph), those in categories 4 and 5. Since 1977, they've gone from a once-a-year occurrence to four times a year, according to a study Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience. These are storms like Lionrock that in August killed at least 17 people, about half of them elderly residents of a Japanese nursing...

Soaring temperature creating more frequent and deadly Asian typhoons

Zee: Ocean storms across East and South east Asia will become more intense and destructive in the coming years due to spike in ocean warming, according to a latest study. Researchers at the University of South Carolinas (USC) Department of Marine Sciences found that the deadly super typhoons has intensified by 50% in the last 40 years due to climate change. The theory, outlined in Nature Geoscience, highlights that warmer sea temperature provides more fuel to the typhoons that would wreck havoc on...

Landfalling Typhoons Have Become More Intense

Climate Central: In the Northwest Pacific, already a hotspot for tropical cyclones, the storms that strike East and Southeast Asia have been intensifying more than those that stay out at sea over the last four decades, a new study finds. The proportion of landfalling storms that reach Category 4 or 5 strength -- the storms that wreak the most damage, as recent examples like 2013's devastating Super Typhoon Haiyan show -- has doubled and even tripled in some areas of the basin, researchers found. The increases...
