Typhoon Vera, international code 195908, international name VERA, 1959 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1959-09-21 18:00:00, ended: 1959-09-28 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 895 hPa, max wind: 84m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Vera

Typhoon Vera at 1959-09-21 18:00:00 at 15.8°N, 148.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 84 m/s (~302 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 895hPa, recorded at 1959-09-23 12:00:00.

1959-09-28 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Vera gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1959-09-28 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 28 track points.

Analysis of Typhoon Vera

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Vera (195908) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行-转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月21日至23日) , 系统自148.5°E附近 toward NW direction稳定Moving, The latitude从15.8°N迅速N抬至20.2°N, DuringW移约7.5个经纬度, 显示出受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响的显著特征.

Afterining high Intensity N up to 32.2°N, near 135.3°E, the typhoon track occurred markedly right, turning toward NE direction to accelerate Moving. Subsequently, the system rapidly crossed the mid-high latitude waters, the length drastically shifted from 135.3°E to 167°E, the latitude further pushed N to 40°N over.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Vera showed an extremely rapid and lasting Intensity eruption process. Starting from the Nameless (17m/s) on September 21, it was enhanced to Super Typhoon (79m/s) for only about 36 hours, and at September 23 at 18 reached peak intensity, max wind up to 84m/s. It is worth noting that its maintenance time at Super Typhoon level (wind speed ≥51m/s) was extremely long, lasting from September 23 at 06 am to September 26 at 06 pm, for up to three days. Even after toward NMovingGo to higher latitude waters, until September 26 at 18 am (38.3°N) , its speedwind remained at the Severe Typhoon level of 46m/s, reflecting a strong energy maintenance capacity.

Compared to Vera in 1989 (top only for Severe Tropical Storm) and Vera in 1983 (top for Typhoon, atmospheric pressure 967hPa), Vera in 1959 reached Super Typhoon level.
