Typhoons are triggered by a combination of warm ocean waters, atmospheric instability, and moisture in the air. Specifically, sea surface temperatures must reach at least 26.5°C (about 80°F) to provide the necessary heat and moisture. Additionally, low wind shear and the presence of a pre-existing weather disturbance, such as a tropical wave, can contribute to the development of a typhoon. These factors work together to create the ideal conditions for the formation and intensification of these powerful storms.
