Typhoon Kit, international code 197429, international name KIT, 1974 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1974-12-18 00:00:00, ended: 1974-12-24 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 996 hPa, max wind: 20m/s.
Typhoon Kit at 1974-12-18 00:00:00 at 8.9°N, 139.9°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 20 m/s (~72 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 996hPa, recorded at 1974-12-19 18:00:00.
1974-12-24 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Kit gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1974-12-24 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 27 track points.
Typhoon Kit (197429) at 1974年12月18日00时在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position位 at lat 8.9度, lng 139.9度. 在整个生命史中, 该Typhoon 呈现出稳定且持续的W行Moving特征, 未出现明显的N上转 toward 或复杂的路径摆动. 从 formed至消散, 其The latitude变化幅度较小, 主要 at 8.8度至11.4度之间的低纬度海域活动.
具体而言, Typhoon 初期 toward NW, at 12月19日至20日期间到达最N端The latitude11.4度附近. 随后, 路径逐渐转为W direction, 并伴随轻微的S压Trend. Go to S海E部及中部海域后, 系统持续 toward W穿越, 最终 at 12月24日12时在Vietnam以E近海 (lat 8.8度, lng 107度) 减弱消散. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 始终在海上运行.
In terms of intensity, the Typhoon Kit overall performance is weaker, peak intensity is only for Tropical Storm level. The system reached its strongest at 00 on December 20, Max Wind near the center is 20m/s. It is worth noting that its Intensityins a shorter time and fluctuations are noticeable: rapidly weakened into Nameless after reaching the peak (December 20, 12am wind speed dropped to 15m/s), and the following daysined fluctuations between 12m/s and 17m/s. Until December 23, 12 before the end of life, the system was briefly reinforced to Tropical StormIntensity (20m/s), but then rapidly decreased, finally dispersing speedwind at only 10m/s. by the data loss, the minimum pressure value could not be analyzed.
Historical records show that in 1981 Kit had reached the Super Typhoon level, in 1985 Kit was Severe Typhoon, and in 1978 and 1988 Kit also reached the Severe Tropical Storm level.
