Overview of Today’s Typhoon Situation
Typhoon activity in the western North Pacific remains frequent as October gets underway. The previously widely reported “three-typhoon dance” has changed, with two typhoon systems—NOLO and KOGUMA—currently active over the ocean. Overall, both typhoons are moving west-northwest along tracks that keep them over open waters, with no direct landfall or significant impact expected on China’s mainland or nearshore waters for the time being.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
Typhoon NOLO, the 28th typhoon of this year, remains at severe tropical storm intensity. Its center is located at 26.3°N, 157.2°E, with a central pressure of 982 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 28 m/s. It is moving west-northwest at 32 km/h. According to official forecasts, NOLO will weaken to a tropical storm early on the 11th and be located over waters south of Japan.
Typhoon KOGUMA, the 29th typhoon of this year, is also at severe tropical storm intensity. Its center is located at 16.6°N, 161.9°E, with a central pressure of 982 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 28 m/s. It is moving slightly more slowly at 21 km/h, also in a west-northwest direction. KOGUMA is expected to strengthen gradually and could develop into a strong typhoon by the 13th, when it will be near waters at 28.1°N, 146.3°E.
Public Interest and Key Concerns
Typhoon-related weather has recently attracted considerable public attention, with discussions focusing mainly on the combined effects of southward-moving cold air and typhoon activity. Because the typhoons’ tracks remain to the east and they are not expected to make landfall, many inland and coastal areas have experienced cooler temperatures and widespread rainfall. Residents of several southern cities have also taken notice of the clear and cool weather brought by subsidence in the typhoons’ outer circulation, with everyday travel in the Pearl River Delta emerging as a topic of discussion. In addition, although neither typhoon is expected to make landfall, high waves along China’s coast resulting from the combined effects of remote typhoons and cold air have prompted close vigilance among those involved in navigation and fishing.
Meteorological Safety Advice
Although NOLO and KOGUMA are relatively far from China, the overlap between autumn cold air and the typhoons’ outer circulations may still produce significant wind and waves over parts of China’s coastal waters. Vessels engaged in offshore operations and coastal tourism activities should closely monitor changes in sea conditions and take preventive measures promptly. Inland areas should also be alert to the damp and cold conditions associated with autumn cooling and prolonged rainfall, adding clothing as needed.
Please refer to warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities.
