Typhoon Hester Route Characteristics

Characteristics of Moving Path

Typhoon Hester (196313) has a short life history, from formed to dispersed for about 3 and a half days. Its overall path presents a stable WNW toward MovingTrend, then shift toward N. In the initial phase (September 8th, 12th to September 10th, 06th) , the system position at lat 13.8° to 15.9°N, between 148.4° to 141.7°, remains a relatively uniform WNW, the latitude slowly increases, the length continues to decrease. September 10th, 06th to September 11th, 12th, Moving speed slightly accelerates, the path directs toward more toward toward W, the Center moves rapidly from lng 141.7° to 136.7°.

It is worth noting that after the system reached the highest W end on September 11, at 12 a.m., there was a noticeable twist in the path. on September 11, at 18 a.m. to 12 a.m., the Typhoon center toward N factor increased significantly, the latitude jumping rapidly from 16.9° to 21.6°, while the length changes slowed (from 134.3° to 132.8°) , indicating that under the influence of guided airflow, the system turned toward, turned from W to N. Thro the process, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, always on ocean surface activity.
