Overview of Typhoon Jelawat

Typhoon Jelawat at 2000-07-31 12:00:00 at 21.7°N, 155.2°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 64 m/s (~230 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 940hPa, recorded at 2000-08-03 06:00:00.

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Jelawat (200008) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的W行后转 toward N上的抛物线形态. formed初期 (7月31日至8月2日) , 系统位 at lat 21°-22°N, 149°-155°之间, 受副热带高压引导, 稳定 toward W. 在此期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude变化极小, 主要体现为During的快速W移, 横跨约6个经度.

8月3日后, 随着系统深入至lng 143°附近, 路径开始出现显著的 toward N分量. 从8月4日至8月7日, Typhoon at 26°附近维持较长Time的准静止或缓慢W移状态, 随后逐渐转为NW. 8月8日起, 系统加速 toward NE direction转 toward , 穿越E海海域, 最终 at 8月11日在长江口以N海域减弱消散. 整个生命周期中, 该Typhoon 未Landfall任何陆地, 始终在海上活动, 路径平滑且连续, 无明显的打转或异常摆动现象.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Jelawat's Intensity evolution underwent the process of 'fast enhancement - high maintenance - fluctuation weakening'. the system in the short 36h after formed, from Nameless (7m/s) rapidly developed into Super Typhoon (51m/s) and at August 2 at 18 reached peak intensity, max wind to 64m/s. Since then, its Super Typhoon levelined a longer Time, even in August 4 briefly weakened into Severe Typhoon, also quickly re-strengthened back to Super Typhoon level (51m/s) on August 6th.

For example, Jelawat in 2023 was only at the Tropical Storm level, and Jelawat in 2006 was only at the Tropical Storm Intensity; while Jelawat in 2018 and 2012 was the Super Typhoon, but in 2000 Jelawat demonstrated extreme explosiveness and durability in far offshore and oceanic environments, with its peak wind speed of 64m/s in the listed historical data at first ladder, reflecting the typical characteristics of the extreme Sereev Typhoon in the naming series.
