1985-10-16 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Cecil gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1985-10-16 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 18 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Cecil

Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Cecil (198520) 的生命史始 at 1985年10月12日06时, formed at lat 10.7°N, 120.3°附近的Nameless. 在整个生命周期内, 该Typhoon 呈现出稳定且持续的WNWMovingTrend, 未出现明显的路径转折或停滞现象. 从初始Position至消散, 其The latitude由10.7°N逐步N移至17.1°N, During则由120.3°E大幅W进至104.2°E, 横跨S海中W部海域.

Observational data showed that the Typhoon Moving speed was relatively uniform, with the latitude variation of each 6h relative consistent, indicating its influence by guided air flow is significant and stable.It is worth noting that the Typhoon whole course without landfall records, always in marine activity, finally at October 16th at 12 am in E waters in Vietnam weakened into Nameless and ended monitoring.

Intensity Analysis

Cecil的Intensity演变经历了典型的“快速增强-巅峰维持-急剧减弱”过程. formed初期, 系统在10月12日至13日期间稳步加强, 从Nameless逐级升级为Severe Tropical Storm及Typhoon . 10月14日起, 增强速率显著提升, wind speed从35m/s迅速攀升至43m/s, 并 at 10月15日06时达到peak intensity, 成为Super Typhoon, max wind 录得51m/s.

The peak remained around 18h (October 15th at 06:00 to October 15th at 18:00), while the Max Wind near the center remained at 51m/s, showing extremely strong structural stability. However, since October 16th at 00, the System Intensity began to break down, within a short 12h, wind speed dropped from 46m/s to 15m/s, ranked by Severe Typhoon directly back to Nameless. This sharp weakening process may be associated with the decrease in sea temperature, vertical wind intersection increase or dry air invasion, reflecting the sensitivity of late Typhoon to environmental changes.

Comparison of historical names

In the previously named 'Cecil' typhoon, the 1985 Cecil showed stronger intensity characteristics. Compared with the 1990 Cecil (top only for Tropical Storm) and the 1989 Cecil (top for Typhoon ) the 1985 Cecil's Intensity was significantly higher. it with the 1993 Cecil and 1982 Cecil belonged to the 'Super Typhoon' level, showing that in the sequence of the name, the case of reaching the Super Typhoon level is not the majority, but has some re-existence.
