HEY GUYS!

Sorry I missed a week but here we are week ten and I get to talk to you about sever weather. So as you know my country is the lovely japan and what you may know is that Japan is prone to typhoons. These are basically a hurricane in the norther pacific ocean.  The technical name is a cyclone, and they mostly happen between July and September, however the season starts in May. The wind speed in these storms can be as high as 180 mph and spread out over 500 miles. My country has a list of stations one can use to fallow the storm on both the television and radio. In addition to that they have a site with every link and the storm basics can be found here.

  1. Nice link you posted!
    I agree with you that typhoons are really devastating in Japan...we'll focus more on those next week. The agency for extreme weather has weather and earthquakes alerts in the same tab...I thought that was interesting...?? If you clink on the yellow zones (advisories), you see they have a current 'dry air' alert in most zones...

  2. My country, the Philippines also is prone to typhoons. Typhoons are very powerful and devastating since all of the destruction can be seen on ground level rather than volcanoes and earthquakes.

  3. Wow I didn´t know Japan is prone to typhoons! Storms as strong as 180 mph is insane! It´s crazy to think there´s an actual seaso for these. I like the link you posted, nice job!
