Typhoon 'Miaobai', the first typhoon to affect my country this year, formed on the 11th and is expected to make landfall on the coast from Zhuhai to Shantou, Guangdong this evening to night.Affected by the combined influence of typhoons and shear lines, heavy rainfall will occur in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places, and local rainfall in Guangdong can reach heavy rainstorms.In this regard, China Weather Network specially interviewed Dong Lin, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, to analyze in detail the characteristics, impact and subsequent development of this typhoon.My friends were shocked that the tropical depression in the South China Sea intensified into this year's No. 2 typhoon 'Miaobai' (tropical storm level, English name: MERBOK; name origin: Malaysia; name meaning: a kind of bird) on the afternoon of the 11th. This is also the first typhoon to affect my country this year. At 5 o'clock in the morning on the 12th, it was located on the northeastern part of the South China Sea, about 345 kilometers south of Shanwei, Guangdong.The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that 'Miaobai' will continue to move north-west at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour, and its intensity will increase.
