Typhoon Molave trajectory analysis
Path and Moving Characteristics
From July 15, 20 at (14.5°N, 127.1°E) formed Tropical Depression, the system continued toward NW direction propulsion, until July 19, 20 at (23.8°N, 109.6°E) weakened into Tropical Depression and ended observations. During the entire life cycle, the Typhoon did not show obvious path turn toward or flip phenomenon, latitude from 14.5°N steadily rising to 23.8°N, length from 127.1°EW to 109.6°E, spanning more than 17 degrees. Though the path is flat, but its Moving speed exists in different phases, especially during July 17, 18th, with the non-high intensity evolution of the main system, the landfall has been recorded at its own high-speed offshore,
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
The Intensity evolution of “Molave” underwent a typical “formed-enhanced-top-weakened” process. The initial phase developed slowly, from Tropical Depression to Severe Tropical Storm taking about two days. However, between July 17, 18 and July 18, 22, the system Go to Rapid Enhancement, Pressure dropped sharply from 980hPa to a minimum of 965hPa, max wind climbed from 28m/s to a peak of 38m/s, and reached the typhoon level. It is worth noting that the data record of July 18, 14 showed wind speed35m/s but ranked as Tropical Depression, which may reflect the complexity of the period of changing the eye wall or adjusting the structure, and then the system re-established Typhoon Intensity and reached
In 2015, Molave was only at Tropical Storm level (minimum atmospheric pressure 990hPa), with a weaker intensity; and in 2020, Molave developed to Severe Typhoon (minimum atmospheric pressure 950hPa).
