The key turning point of the path appeared after 12 a.m. on June 30th. At this time the Typhoon center reached 129.8°E, near 20.3°N, Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to positive N, then further inclined toward NE. From July 1 to July 2, with the latitude rising rapidly to 27.8°N, the length appeared instead of a small E retreating to 130.7°E, indicating that the system has fully Go to W wind belt guided airflow control zone, completed the turn toward and accelerated away from the mainland coastal .

Intensity Analysis

该Typhoon 经历了完整的“增强-巅峰-减弱”生命周期, 且Intensity变化剧烈. 6月28日初生时为Tropical Storm (23m/s) , 在随后的36h内迅速加强, at 6月29日18时发展为Severe Typhoon (48m/s) . 巅峰状态出现在6月30日00时, 中心附近Max Wind达到56m/s, 评定为Super Typhoon等级. 值得注意的是, 巅峰维持Time较短, 仅6h后wind speed即降至51m/s, 随后Go to 持续减弱阶段.

Starting at noon on June 30, Typhoon Intensity steadily declined, downgraded by Super Typhoon to Severe Typhoon, then at 1st July at 00.00 returned to Typhoon level (41m/s). on 1st July afternoon, wind speed fell below the threshold of 30m/s, downgraded to Severe Tropical Storm. Until the end of life on 2st July at 06:00, the system weakened into Nameless (15m/s), the entire process lasted about four and a half days.
