The highest wind intensity level of a typhoon is level 17. Typhoon is a category of tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclones are divided into six levels according to the maximum wind speed on the ground near the center: super typhoon, severe typhoon, typhoon, severe tropical storm, tropical storm and tropical depression.
Our country’s annual typhoon levels are based on international standards. They are divided into six levels, namely tropical depression, tropical storm, severe tropical storm, typhoon, severe typhoon and super typhoon. .
The above levels are mainly divided according to the central wind force. According to the central wind force, the order from weak to strong is as follows:
1. When the central wind force of the typhoon reaches level 6-7 , the typhoon is at tropical depression level. Generally speaking, typhoons at this level have not yet reached the standards for naming.
2. When the central wind force of a typhoon reaches level 8-9, the typhoon is a tropical storm level. At this time, the typhoon has usually been generated and named.
3. When the central wind force of a typhoon reaches level 10-11, the typhoon is classified as a severe tropical storm. If the typhoon develops from a tropical storm to a severe tropical storm at a rapid speed, then the typhoon will be severely affected in the future. The development may be considerable, but of course, there are also quick-acting typhoons that disappear within a few days of their formation.
4. When the wind force in the center of a typhoon reaches level 12-13, the typhoon is classified as a typhoon, which can be regarded as a truly corrected name. Its intensity and name are at the same level.
What is the highest level of a typhoon? What is the level of the strongest typhoon in China?
5. When the central wind force of a typhoon reaches level 14-15, the typhoon is classified as a strong typhoon. When such a typhoon makes landfall, The damage is not small, so we need to be fully prepared to prevent typhoons.
6. When the central wind force of a typhoon reaches level 16 or above, it is a super typhoon level. Such a typhoon is a bit scary. If it lands in a certain area in such a state, it will cause serious losses and serious casualties.
Although the above typhoons are only classified as level 16 or above, in fact, our country's meteorological department recorded them as level 17 or above when recording.
