Typhoon Helen trajectory analysis

Track Track and Moving Features

From the formed initial coordinate sequence, the system at July 24 at 00 am at (25.3°N, 161.2°E) near the Nameless shape formed, the initial Moving is slower and slightly W-fold, to the 25th at 00 am reach the most W-end Position (24.6°N, 159°E).

During the period from July 26 to 27, the Typhoon center latitude climbed rapidly, moving from 26.5°N fast N to 33.7°N, with relatively small length variations, showing strong toward Moving percentages. Go to High latitude region, the system continued toward NE direction extension, and finally at July 30 at 00 am at (40.6°N, 167°E) weakened dispersion.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity evolution, “Helen” shows a typical “extinct fast, Intensity limited” characteristic. the system increased to 12m/s on July 25, and at 26:00 at 17m/s, then at 26:12 at peak intensity, confirming that Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 23m/s. It is worth noting that the peak stateins Time extremely short, only after 12h (27:00 am) wind speed is back to 20m/s, and at the same day at 12 am decreased to Nameless.

Historically, the same name Typhoon in 1972 and 1995 reached the Super Typhoon and Typhoon levels, respectively, and in 1966 also reached the Severe Tropical Storm level. In contrast, in 1992 Helen only reached the Tropical StormIntensity, comparable to the 1975 HelenIntensity, being a weaker member of the at “Helen” naming sequence of the Intensity.
