Taiwan records unusual typhoon-free July: CWB
2010/07/31 13:57:16 |
Taipei, July 31 (CNA) Although typhoon season lasts from July to September, this July was the sixth in the past 20 years during which no typhoon was recorded, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) said Saturday.
The previous five years in which no typhoon hit Taiwan in July were 1992, 1993, 1997, 1999 and 2007.
The CWB said, however, that in years with no typhoons in July, strong typhoons were recorded in August and September, or from August to October, that same year.
Only three typhoons developed in the northwestern Pacific Ocean this year, and none of them hit Taiwan, according to the bureau.
The CWB previously forecast that two to four typhoons would hit Taiwan this year -- less than the average of three to five. (By Wang Shu-fen and Fanny Liu) ENDITEM/bc
