Although Florida is known as the ‘Sunshine State’, it is often affected by tropical cyclones – weather systems which produce heavy rain and strong winds. Depending on the location and strength, these storms are sometimes called typhoons or hurricanes. The recent tropical storm – named ‘Debby’ – passed across the region and nearly 50cm of rain fell in just two days.

盡管佛羅里達(dá)州被稱為“陽光州”,它常常受到熱帶旋風(fēng)的影響，產(chǎn)生大雨和強(qiáng)風(fēng)。根據(jù)不同的位置和強(qiáng)度,這些風(fēng)暴有時被稱為臺風(fēng)和颶風(fēng)。最近的這次被稱為Debby的熱帶風(fēng)暴橫掃該地區(qū)，僅僅兩天之內(nèi)降雨量就達(dá)到了50厘米。
