Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Betty (196104) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的NW toward Moving后转 toward NE的抛物线形态. formed初期 (5月22日) , 系统位 at 133.5°E附近, 稳定 toward NW. 在5月22日至5月25日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude从10.7°N迅速N抬至19.9°N, During从133.5°EW进至122.2°E, 显示出强劲的NW推进动力.

During this period, the Typhoon center reached the most W-side position (about 121.5°E-122.2°E) and then the Moving direction changed significantly, from NW to N, and then gradually toward NE. On May 26, after 18:00, the system accelerated toward NE, with the length rising from 121.4°E to 129°E, the latitude rapidly pushing N to 35.4°N. Thro the lifecycle, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, remained active at sea, and eventually dispersed at JapanE with a weakened ocean.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Betty's Intensity evolution underwent rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and rapid weakening in three stages. Starting from May 22nd's Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s), the system rapidly enhanced to Super Typhoon in 48h. May 24th at 06:00wind speed has reached 51m/s, and at May 25th at 18:00 reached life history peak, max wind recorded 66m/s, confirmed Super Typhoon level. Peak stateined Time is shorter, About 12h after, affected by NGo to high latitude sea and possible vertical wind shifts, intensity began to decline sharply. May 26th at 18:00wind speed dropped to 38m/s (Typhoon ), May 27th further weakened into Severe Tropical Storm, until May 28th ended with NamelessIntensity

Its peak wind speed 66m/s is at Super Typhoon level, with the 1987 Betty (198708) and 1980 Betty (198021) high Intensity ladder, significantly strong at 1975 Betty (Severe Typhoon) and 1984 Betty (Severe Tropical Storm). This suggests that in the sequence of the name 'Betty', the 1961 process is at one of the potentially destructive extreme weather events, despite its not causing the direct Landfall disaster, but its ocean indicator Intensity is at the forefront of the same period in history.
