2003-07-22 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Koni gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2003-07-22 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 34 track points.

Typhoon Koni Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

In 2003, the life history of the 8th Typhoon “Koni” at the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the overall path shows a stable WN go toward , eventually Go to S Sea N section and gradually weakened dispersal. From the formed initial coordinate sequence, the system mainlyined toward WMoving during July 14 to 16, with very small latitude variation (10.5°N to 10.1°N) , the length from 136.9°E rapidly moved W to 129.8°E, showing characteristics of low-layer wind guidance. After July 17, the path began to show a noticeable N percentage, Moving direction turned into WN. Until July 21, the Typhoon center reached 18.8°N, 110°E nearby, followed by toward NW direction deep into the sea, and finally at the evening of July

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of intensity evolution, “Koni” underwent a typical “formed-enhanced-top-weakened” process. The initial phase was Nameless, the air pressureined at more than 1000hPa. After upgrading to Tropical Storm on July 17, the intensity underwent brief fluctuations, the air pressure wandered between 991hPa to 994hPa. The real fast enhancement period appeared on July 20 to 21, Pressure rapidly dropped from 980hPa to the minimum of 976hPa, max wind to 33m/s, reaching the tiphoon peak. However, its high intensity maintenance time was shorter, only about 12h after it began to weaken, and on mid-July 21, it had dropped to Severe Tropical Storm, and further reduced to Nameless after the Go to Sea SW

In comparison with the same name History, the 2003 'Koni' Intensity is significantly weak. 2015 and 2020 the same name Typhoon both reached Super Typhoon level, minimum pressure is lower to 930hPa and 905hPa respectively, far above the 2003 version of 976hPa. even if the 2009 same name Typhoon, its peak intensity is only Tropical Storm (985hPa), but the 2003 version at least reached the Typhoon level standard.
