Beginning the official definition of the typhoon season, meteorologist Zheng Mingdian explains that as of mid-July, there are no conditions for typhoon formation, but they are expected to occur later in the month. Predictions suggest fewer typhoons this year. Zheng also notes the inverse relationship between typhoon generation in the northwest Pacific and hurricanes in the North Atlantic, with their region having more while ours has fewer.
