Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity, “Matmo” underwent a rapid enhancement process from Nameless to Tropical Storm, and remained stable after reaching the peak. May 15 at 14 am first born as Nameless (16m/s, 998hPa) and upgraded to Tropical Storm after 6h. It is worth noting that during May 15 at 20 am to 16:05 pm, although Position continues to move, its Pressure remains at 998hPa, wind speed remains at 18m/s, at a short platform period. May 16 at 08 am, the system is reinforced again, air pressure drops to 995hPa, wind speed increases to 20m/s; and at 11 am at the day reaches peak intensity, minimum pressure 990hPa, max wind 23m/s. Until then dispersed, intensity has not changed

Data show that the same-name Typhoon peak intensity in 2014 and 2025 reached the Severe Typhoon level, the minimum pressure is lower than 955hPa; 2019 'Matmo' is also Severe Tropical Storm (992hPa).
