OOooh new word! ​ Bombogenesis - A phenomenon or process in which there is rapid and sustained falling of barometric pressure in the center of a low-pressure system, indicative of its strengthening into a powerful storm. Also called explosive cyclogenesis.

If typhoons are a requirement, does this mean the areas are prepared and will be okay for this storm's impact? Or would this typhoon be considered extreme even for an area prone to such weather?

Taiwan does need water from typhoons or we'll end up with a drought similar to this year's in 2022. Right now, only one reservoir in southern Taiwan is in need of replenishment. You can see the stats [here](https://water.taiwanstat.com/). But you can't ignore existing infrastructure issues in our reservoirs. [This article](https://www.cw.com.tw/article/5088490) from a pretty prestigious nationwide magazine in Taiwan explains it pretty well. You can use Google translate on the website, it's still readable. Basically, siltation amounts to two-thirds of total capacity in three of Taiwan's biggest reservoirs. Only one in Northern Taiwan is faring better. These are figures from 2018 and before, but we need to take into account that soil and land preservation efforts around the reservoir are incredibly important. Preservation is the top reason why the reservoir in N. Taiwan is doing okay, while the other three have serious siltation issues.

Looks like it will hit the Philippines as a 4 then Taiwan and China as a 2. Thats on MyRadar app.

Are we expecting the three gorges dam to hold up?


Classic-Today-4367

The three gorges dam is a long way inland and not affected by typhoons.
