Typhoon Haitang trajectory
Track and Movement Characteristics
2005年第5号Typhoon “Haitang”的生命史长达10天余, 整体路径呈现显著的W行后转 toward NW的特征. formed初期 (7月11日至13日) , 系统位 at lat 22°-23°N, 149°-154°海域, 维持Tropical Depression至Tropical StormIntensity, 主要 toward W direction缓慢Moving. 7月15日前后, 随着纬度S落至19.3°N并W进至139.3°E, Typhoon Go to 快速增强期, Moving direction逐渐稳定为WNW toward .
As it approached waters east of Taiwan from July 16 to 18, the typhoon’s center coordinates shifted rapidly from 128.5°E to 121.5°E, indicating an increase in movement speed. Notably, from 11:00 on July 18 to 03:00 on July 19, its latitude changed very little (23.5°N to 24.68°N), while it continued moving westward, indicating a brief period of stagnation or looping near Taiwan. It then continued toward the northwest on July 19, crossed the strait and reached the Fujian coast, eventually moved deep inland, and weakened and dissipated over Jiangxi on July 21. No direct landfall was recorded throughout, which may reflect the criteria used for defining landfall, but the track points clearly show that it crossed Taiwan and the Fujian coastal region.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Haitang underwent typical rapid intensification followed by gradual weakening. It developed from a tropical depression on July 11 (12 m/s, 1010 hPa) into a super typhoon on July 16 (58 m/s, 928 hPa) in about 5.5 days, with pressure dropping 82 hPa and wind speed rising 46 m/s. It remained at peak intensity at 920 hPa/60 m/s and maintained super typhoon strength (wind speed ≥51 m/s) for an extended period from July 16 to 17. Beginning on July 18, terrain friction and environmental factors caused its intensity to decline in stages, weakening rapidly from a severe typhoon into a typhoon before downgrading to a tropical depression on July 20.
Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, the 2005 Haitang had a decisively stronger intensity. In 2022, 2017, and 2011, Haitang reached only tropical storm intensity at peak, with minimum pressures of 1002 hPa, 985 hPa, and 995 hPa, respectively, and maximum winds that did not exceed the upper limit for a tropical storm. By contrast, the 2005 Haitang not only reached super typhoon strength, but its minimum central pressure was 82 hPa lower than that of the weakest same-named typhoon in recent years, the 2022 storm, demonstrating the high-energy nature of that year’s typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific.
