Typhoon Irma (197427) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的W行Trend, 后期伴随轻微N折. formed初期 (11月20日至22日) , 系统位 at 8.2°N至10.8°N, 145.7°E至140.5°E之间, 维持NamelessIntensity, toward NW direction缓慢Moving. 随后, 气旋加速W进, at 11月23日至27日期间穿越Philippines以E洋面, The latitude稳定在11.9°N至15.7°N区间, During从139.5°E快速W移至126.4°E, 显示出稳定的引导气流作用.

From November 28 to 30, the center latitudeined at 15.4°N to 15.5°N near, almost presented as W toward toward across the S Sea N section. From December 1, affected by environmental field changes, the path began toward N deviation, from 111.9°E, 18.6°NMoving to 116°E, 23.5°N, eventually dispersed in ChinaSEcoastal to E ocean to weaken.
