[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] This October saw the highest number of typhoons ever recorded. It is the first time in 28 years since 1992.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, seven typhoons occurred last month. This ties with 1984 and 1992 for the most typhoons in October on record.

Starting with the 14th typhoon 'Chan-hom' on the 5th of last month, a total of seven typhoons formed up to the 20th typhoon Atsani. The average number of typhoons occurring in October is 3.6.

The reason for the high number of typhoons this October is due to La Ni?a, which positioned the North Pacific High to the east, creating thermal conditions of high sea surface temperatures in the tropical region and satisfying the wind dynamics necessary for typhoon development.

Although many typhoons formed, none affected South Korea.
