How Typhoons Are Named #shorts

Have you ever been curious about the naming process of powerful weather phenomena like Typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones? These natural disasters are assigned names alphabetically, using multiple sets of pre-existing names. In the Philippines, known for its frequent typhoon encounters, the first typhoon of the year acquires a name commencing with the first letter on the list, often starting with an "A," followed by subsequent typhoons designated with names beginning with each consecutive letter, like "B" and beyond. This cyclic process continues until the following year when a fresh set of names comes into play, repeating the sequence.

Throughout history, the Philippines has faced several famous typhoons that have left indelible marks of devastation. For instance, Typhoon Haiyan, internationally known as Typhoon Yolanda, was one of the deadliest tropical cyclones ever recorded. Other notable typhoons include Mangkhut (Ompong), Bopha (Pablo), and Haima (Lawin), all notorious for their catastrophic impact on the region. On the other side of the globe, hurricanes in the Atlantic region have earned their infamous names through years of destructive power. Names like Katrina, Sandy, Maria, Harvey, and Irma have become synonymous with deadly and devastating natural disasters that have reshaped landscapes and communities. The fields of meteorology and weather monitoring continually strive to understand and predict the behavior of these mighty storms, aiming to minimize the loss of life and property caused by these powerful forces of nature.

It's like a battle for the Name, whoever is the strongest typhoon keeps its name.

[SoraTempez]

Filipinos. The only people who treat storms as aquatic playgrounds

[Just_A_Creeper]

"How many names do you have for a typhoon?"

Philippines: yes

[haze.lee.playlists]

We literally made typhoons compete for names 💀

[BBShaw-cdwz]

The list of names is aka “names you don't want to name your baby”

[JonasTayaban]

I did not realize that the name "Zigzag" is included in the video. 😂

[fernzlampaz]

"How many seasons do you have Philippines?"

Philippines: Well there's two. One season is the months where people have to spend their days and nights suffering from scorching heat of the sun, and the other season is probably where the people need to memorize the the names of the incoming storms and typhoons

😂😂

[CamEditzzz]

Imagine if the name of a typhoon is funny yet it destroyed your house 💀💀

[Angie-Magi-ATIN-Army]

Survived Ondoy, Milenyo, Yolanda and Odette.

[MamelanYippee]

this is the reason typhoons are so strong, they want to get their own names

[Pun]

so basically typhoons are fighting for the right to have there own name?

[Goldieboi.._..]

Anyone survived super-typhoon Yolanda in 2013?

[allyahnator]

Cant believe that my country literally turned typhoons into a competiton for names 😭

[RapinatorOhYeah]

They held a contest on 1998 on which name shall be used as Typhoon name in the Philippines. So yeah, Imagine the name you chose literally destroy a city

[KingTheGrea]

As a Filipino, i can confirm we treat typhoons as a water park.

[calamity_]

Agreed, as a Filipina Yolanda is the most distructive storm I've ever experienced.

[TheCanderemy]

The first typhoon i could remember is Reming. I was just a kid then, but I remember the roof of the house behind ours flying off into the sky and our metal gate being thrown open and almost falling on our car

[USSFFRU]

The Philippines names the Typhoons like your local neighbourhood

"That one over there is Yolanda, over there is Jenny, and here is Paolo"

[Ineedmoney]

As a filipino, we play natural disaster survival irl

[isurvived-]

In Vietnam, we don't name it alphabetically, we name it numerically 💀
