Original by Typhoon Bot · Evening Edition, October 12, 2026 · More Typhoon News · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
Entering mid-October, autumn typhoons in the Northwest Pacific remain active. By this evening, Typhoon No. 29, "Koguma," has passed its peak intensity, with its strength diminishing as it gradually turns toward the northeast. Overall, the current typhoon system is moving away from China's coastal waters, posing no direct wind or rain impact on the country. However, the development of new disturbances at sea and the activity of cold air masses within China remain key focal points for recent meteorological attention.
Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics
Typhoon No. 29 "Koguma" (Severe Typhoon)
Currently, the center of "Koguma" is located over the Northwest Pacific Ocean at 29.8°N, 147.8°E. Its minimum central pressure is 955 hPa, with maximum sustained winds maintained at 42 m/s. In terms of movement, it is traveling north-northeast at a speed of 31 km/h. According to the latest forecast, it will continue to shift toward the northeast and is expected to reach the vicinity of 42.0°N, 165.2°E by 2:00 AM on the 15th, by which time its intensity will weaken to that of a tropical storm. Due to its significant eastward turn, "Koguma" will not have a direct impact on China's maritime areas, primarily affecting the vast oceanic regions east of Japan.
Public Sentiment and Focus Areas
Recently, public discussion regarding autumn typhoons has remained heated. On one hand, people have noted that typhoons forming this autumn have generally been intense, with several previous autumn typhoons reaching super typhoon status at their peaks, sparking widespread discussion about the climatic characteristics of autumn typhoons. On the other hand, as "Koguma" weakens, public attention has shifted to new tropical disturbances in the Northwest Pacific, with close monitoring of the development of Typhoon No. 30. Additionally, as many parts of China experience widespread continuous rain and cooling due to cold air masses, the public is also concerned about whether remote interactions between typhoon systems and cold air will alter the recent weather pattern.
Meteorological Safety Tips
Although "Koguma" is moving away, autumn weather systems are complex and variable. First, affected by cold air, some regions need to continue guarding against the adverse effects of continuous rain and temperature drops; the public should dress appropriately to prevent colds. Second, new disturbances in the Northwest Pacific are still developing. Vessels operating in relevant sea areas should closely monitor the latest navigational warnings and plan routes in advance to avoid potential risks.
Please refer to official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
