The SummaryTyphoon Malakas (international code 200415) is a 2004 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Tropical Storm, max wind 20m/s, minimum central pressure 995hPa, not in China Landfall, 2004-08-14 was numbered off, recorded 12 track points.
Typhoon Malakas, international code 200415, international name MALAKAS, 2004 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2004-08-11 08:00:00, ended: 2004-08-14 03:00:00. Peak intensity: Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 995 hPa, max wind: 20m/s.
Typhoon Malakas at 2004-08-11 08:00:00 at 26.8°N, 158.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 20 m/s (~72 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 995hPa, recorded at 2004-08-12 02:00:00.
2004-08-14 03:00:00 After, Typhoon Malakas gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2004-08-14 03:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 12 track points.
Observation data showed that the system since August 11, 2004 at 8 a.m. on the Northwest Pacific surface (26.8°N, 158.5°E) was identified as a Tropical Storm, the overall showed a stable NE toward MovingTrend.
During the 12th to 13th August, the Typhoon center latitude continued to N up to 35.5°N, while the length E shifted significantly to 175.9°E, showing a noticeable turn toward feature, that is, from the initial NMoving gradually transitioned to NE toward even closer to the E direction of Moving. This path shape complies with the traction of the mid-latitude W wind band system on the tropical cyclone, leading to its distance from the land, the entire course without landfall record, finally at the morning of August 14 at 37°N, 178°E, weakened dispersion.
In terms of intensity, Malakas in 2004 showed a typical weak tropical cyclone characteristic. It has alwaysined the 'Tropical Storm' level throughout its lifetime, and has not further developed to Severe Tropical Storm or Typhoon level. Data show that its Max Wind peak is only 20m/s, minimum pressure is 995hPa, appeared between 02:00 on August 12 and 20:00 on this Intensity, and hasined a longer Time stable state.
Historical data show that the typhoon Malakaspeak intensity in 2022, 2016 and 2010 reached the 'Severe Typhoon' level, with minimum pressure of 940hPa, 940hPa and 950hPa respectively.In comparison, the 2004 individual's minimum air pressure was at least 45hPa high, max wind far lower at Severe Typhoon standard.This suggests that although the same name, but the atmospheric environment background varies greatly for different years, resulting in 2004 Malakas failed to get sufficient energy support to develop as a high Intensity system, only as a short-lived medium-latitude toward high-latitude Tropical Storm ending its life cycle.
