In the face of wind resistance from super typhoons, it has strong fatigue resistance and no residual deformation, significantly reducing the risk of micro-cracks over its entire lifecycle.
One of the fiercest typhoons to hit the area of Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China, since 1949 was Super Typhoon Capricorn this month. In this wild weather, torrential winds and giant

Interestingly, the number of off-season super typhoons appears to be correlated with the yearly sunspot number (SSN), especially in recent decades. The sunspot number serves as a proxy for solar activity during the well-known 11-year solar cycle 4, 5, which can affect the total solar irradiance (TSI) reaching the Earth’s surface.
As will be described in detail later, the solar cycle-induced sea surface temperature footprint typically appears first in winter and develops into the spring of the following year to impact off-season typhoons, thus there is a 1-year lag between the yearly SSN time series and that of off-season super typhoons.
As shown in Fig. 1b, the SSN time series fluctuates at an 11-year frequency and the co-variation between the SSN and off-season super typhoon number indicates that more super typhoons occur during active solar cycle periods compared to inactive periods.
The occurrence of super typhoons (categories 4 and 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale) during this off-season can result in extensive damage to property and loss of life.
