Hurricane season lasts year-round; however, most storms occur from early July to mid-December.
Most typhoons hit places like the Philippines, Japan, and Taiwan; they can also bring destructive winds and storm surges to the Korean Peninsula, China, and Vietnam.
Typhoons have also struck U.S. territories, causing billions of dollars in catastrophic damage in places like Guam, where Super Typhoon Mawar wreaked havoc in May last year.
Where will it rain?
Flash flooding can also occur in areas farther inland from the hurricane’s center. Even weak storms can produce excessive rainfall that can cause flooding in low-lying areas.
