Typhoon Jongdari is the name of approaching Typhoon. Why do you thinkwe don't call Typhoons by names in Japan? Japanese people don't know typhoons actually have names at all. I have a theory...

2) But for Typhoon, those names come from 14 countries with 14 different languages. We cannot read / pronounce names in Chinese, Vietnamese or Cambodian. The system that works in one place doesn't always work in another place. I bet WMO is not located in Asia.
1)World Meteorological Organization have lists of names for tropical storms. They use common names from the region the storm pass. For Hurricanes, the system works because those names are in English or Spanish. People there can pronounce those names without a problem.
