The SummaryTyphoon Kit (international code 196604) is a 1966 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 87m/s, minimum central pressure 880hPa, not in China Landfall, 1966-06-29 was numbered off, recorded 32 track points.
Typhoon Kit, international code 196604, international name KIT, 1966 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1966-06-22 00:00:00, ended: 1966-06-29 18:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 880 hPa, max wind: 87m/s.
Typhoon Kit at 1966-06-22 00:00:00 at 8.8°N, 140.3°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 87 m/s (~313 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 880hPa, recorded at 1966-06-26 00:00:00.
1966-06-29 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Kit gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1966-06-29 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 32 track points.
Typhoon Kit (196604) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体呈现典型的“NW—NE”抛物线型Moving轨迹. formed初期 (6月22日至23日) , 系统在8.8°N至11.3°N之间稳定 toward NW, During从140.3°EW进至135.4°E. 随后, 路径逐渐转为N direction, 并在6月25日至26日期间 at 130.8°E附近出现明显的转 toward 迹象. 此时系统纬度迅速从14.4°NN抬至22.2°N, 标志着其Go to 中纬度W风带引导区域.
After turning toward, the Typhoon accelerated toward NE, the length significantly shifted from 130.8°E to 152.5°E, the latitude then the road N up to 45°N. Thro the process, the system did not landfall any land, and was always active on the ocean surface.
Kit's Intensity evolution underwent rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and rapid weakening in three phases. June 22 is Nameless phase, wind speed only 12-17m/s. After June 24 intensified into Typhoon, the intensity explosive growth, within only 36h (24th 12th to 26th 00) , max wind rises from 33m/s to 87m/s, reaching Super Typhoon level. Peak stateins about 12h (26th 00 to 12th) , then begins to weaken. June 27th, as the latitude rises, the core wind speed drops from 77m/s to 61m/s, and at 2800th descends to Typhoon .
Its peak wind speed of 87m/s, far surpassing the 1985 Kit (Severe Typhoon), 1988 and 1978 Kit (Severe Tropical Storm). although the 1981 Kit also reached the Super Typhoon level, but the 1966 Kit with an extreme wind speed of 87m/s, showed great destruction potential and energy release efficiency, is a very representative Severe Typhoon case in the series of the same name.
