When do typhoons most often affect the Fujian coast?

Typhoons most frequently affect the Fujian coast during the period from May to November, with July, August, and September being the months of highest frequency. August typically experiences the highest number of typhoon invasions, accounting for more than one-third of the total typhoons that reach China.1

While the coastal region is generally subject to these tropical cyclones during late summer and early autumn, the specific timing of landfall shifts throughout the season:1

• May: Typhoons usually strike the coast south of Shantou.1
• June: The path shifts northward, arriving between Shantou and Wenzhou.1
• July and beyond: Typhoons typically invade areas north of Wenzhou.1
• Post-September: The frequency of typhoons decreases, and the landfall pattern shifts southward again, with late-season typhoons in November and December striking south of Shantou.1
