Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Kent's Intensity evolution has undergone a complete 'formed-explosion-maintaining-decrease' process. From Aug. 6 enhancement to Tropical Storm, the system has rapidly strengthened in just 48h, until August 8 has reached Severe Typhoon level (46m/s) . August 11th, its wind speed jumped to 64m/s, officially entered the Super Typhoon line, and this intensity level has remained until August 13th, while Max Wind had reached 66m/s, showing extremely strong core counter-current activity. After August 13, as the latitude N further increases the environmental field changes, intensity began to decline steadily, by Super Typhoon gradually weakened into Typhoon, Severe Tropical Storm, until finally turned into Nameless.

Compared to the same name Typhoon, the 1995 Kent (199509) also reached the Super Typhoon level. Although both have extremely high peak intensity, but the 1992 Kent at the Super Typhoon levelined Time longer (at least about 2.5 days) and at a higher latitude (lat 25° near) stillined Super Typhoon Intensity, reflecting its deep thermal structural stability.
