Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Forrest (198310)'s life history began at 12 a.m. on 20 September 1983 at the Northwest Pacific Ocean, with the initial position being lat 10.3°N, 144.1°. During the period formed from the beginning to 25 September, the system as a whole presented a stable NW toward MovingTrend.

It is worth noting that the Typhoon showed a noticeable path shift after September 26th. on September 26th at 00 to 12, the system continued toward N advancing to lat 28.2°; then, between September 27th and 28th, the Moving direction gradually turned to NE toward, the length rebounded from 124°E to 132.8°E, the latitude further elevated N to 32.8°N. This turn toward feature meets the typical traction effect of the middle latitude W windmills pre-typhoon track, marking the beginning of its transition from the tropical system toward to the temperature belt.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Forrest demonstrated an extremely rapid and lasting enhancement process. Starting from 20 September's Nameless (15m/s), it developed to Super Typhoon (61m/s) at only about 36h on 22 September's 12th. Its Intensity peak appeared at 23 September's 00, the max wind reached 77m/s, although the Pressure data was missing, but the wind speed indicator confirmed it to be Super Typhoon.

Compared to Forrest in 1980 (top only for Severe Tropical Storm) and Forrest in 1989 (top for Severe Typhoon), the 1983 version is significantly stronger.
