What is a typhoon? A typhoon is a tropical cyclone that develops in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, affecting East and Southeast Asia. Like hurricanes, it can cause extreme wind, rain, and flooding.
An infrastructure investor with assets in typhoon-prone regions such as Japan and the Philippines may use a climate intelligence platform, like EarthScan, to explore long-term scenarios of typhoon frequency and severity. These insights help inform investment decisions, strengthen asset resilience, and support proactive risk management.
Typhoons can disrupt operations, damage infrastructure, and increase insurance costs. Risk-aware planning is essential for organisations operating in Asia-Pacific.
