Why do typhoons come?

Why do typhoons come?

There is a great flow of air in the sky, just as there is a great flow of water in a river.

Of course, like a river, it does not always flow on a fixed course, but there is a certain amount of wind. Typhoons move along on this wind.
However, the direction of this wind changes with the seasons. This is the reason why typhoons occur in Japan from June to October.
In the hot southern seas, typhoons occur any time of the year, but only from June to October do the winds blow in such a way that the typhoons come toward Japan. Therefore, only during this season do typhoons move toward Japan.
