Typhoon Hagibis, international code 200203, international name HAGIBIS, 2002 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2002-05-13 06:00:00, ended: 2002-05-21 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 898 hPa, max wind: 71m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Hagibis

Typhoon Hagibis at 2002-05-13 06:00:00 at 3°N, 150.2°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 71 m/s (~256 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 898hPa, recorded at 2002-05-19 12:00:00.

2002-05-21 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Hagibis gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2002-05-21 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 33 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Hagibis

Track Track and Moving Features

The life of the 3rd Typhoon “Hagibis” began at 06:00 on 13 May at the Northwest Pacific low-latitude (3°N, 150.2°E) , initially formed as Nameless. In the early formed, the system Moving slow and path curved, mainly representing the trend toward WN. From 13 May to 17 May at 06:00, the central latitude of the Typhoon increased from 3°N gradually to 13.5°N, and the length moved from 150.2°EW to 140.3°E, this phase overall toward NW direction.

Before this, the Moving direction is dominated by NW, while from 18 May, as the latitude continues to N, the length begins toward E (from 139.5°E to 140°E, then accelerate E move) . until 18 May, at the peak, the system turns toward NE direction to accelerate Moving. During May 20 to 21, the Typhoon quickly toward high latitude sea attack, the length from 146.9°E quickly to 159.8°E, the latitude from 24.9°N to 35.6°N. During the entire life cycle, the Typhoon Landfall has not been on any land, always on the ocean, and finally at May 2106 at weakened high latitude Seven Tropical Storm into Tropical Storm.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

“Hagibis” Intensity evolution shows a typical “slow enhancement, explosive enhancement, rapid weakening” characteristics. The systemined about 3 days in the Nameless phase, the intensity variation is not great. On May 16, 18th, after upgrading to Tropical Storm, Go to rapid enhancement period. Especially in May 19, 06 to 18th, 12h, Pressure dropped from 910hPa to 898hPa, max wind increased from 66m/s to 71m/s, to the Super Typhoon level, which is also the peak of its life history. However, the peakined Time extremely short, with the system toward High Width Moving and accelerated toward NE, environmental conditions deteriorated, intensity rapidly declined.

Its minimum atmospheric pressure was 898hPa far lower at 2019 at Hagibis (910hPa), 2007 at Hagibis (965hPa) and 2014 at Hagibis (988hPa). in 2014 the same name only reached Tropical Storm level, and in 2002 and 2019 at Super Typhoon level, but in 2002 at Hagibis' Pressure is lower, showing its core Intensity ranked first among the historic same name Typhoon.
