Typhoon Megi, international code 201013, international name Megi, 2010 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2010-10-13 20:00:00, ended: 2010-10-23 23:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 895 hPa, max wind: 72m/s.
Typhoon Megi at 2010-10-13 20:00:00 at 11.8°N, 140.9°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 72 m/s (~259 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 895hPa, recorded at 2010-10-17 20:00:00.
2010-10-18 12:25:00, Typhoon Megi in the Philippines Landfall.
2010-10-23 12:55:00, Typhoon Megi in Zhejiang Landfall.
2010-10-23 23:00:00 After, Typhoon Megi gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2010-10-23 23:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 141 track points.
Typhoon Megi (201013) 的生命史始 at 2010年10月13日20时, formed at Northwest Pacific洋面 (11.8°N, 140.9°E) , 初始状态为Tropical Storm. 在 formed初期, 系统整体呈现稳定的WNTrend. 从10月13日至10月17日, 其The latitude由11.8°N迅速N抬至18.1°N, During由140.9°EW进至125.0°E, 显示出较强的引导气流作用.
The Typhoon’s path was characterized by the complicated turn toward behavior after at LandfallPhilippines. On October 18, at 12:25 p.m., after the first LandfallPhilippines, the system Go to S Sea. Data showed that between October 19, 05 and 20, 10 p.m., the Typhoon’s center latitude fluctuated slightly between 16.8°N to 17.4°N, with length continuing to W shift, manifested as a near-W Moving path. Then, since October 20, at 21 p.m., there was a noticeable turn of the path, Moving direction shifted to NE. From October 21, to October 23, before LandfallFujian, Typhoon’s center latitude steadily increased from 18.6°N to 24.5°N, completing a typical “W-in-stop-N
Megi's Intensity evolution showed the characteristics of 'fast enhancement-maintaining peak-slow weakening'. The system was rapidly strengthened after formed, and in only about 4 days Time evolved from Tropical Storm (18m/s) to Super Typhoon. On October 17th, 20th, it reached its peak with E on the ocean, the center lowest air pressure dropped to 895hPa, max wind up to 72m/s. It is worth noting that after crossing the Philippines islands Go to S sea, despite the impact of the earth friction, its Intensity did not crash abruptly, but on October 19th to 21st, Timeined at Super Typhoon level (wind52m/s, air pressure 940hPa), showing strong structural resilience.
Its peak atmospheric pressure is 895hPa far lower at 2016 Megi (935hPa), 2004 Megi (970hPa) and 2022 Megi (995hPa) . in 2022 the same name only reached the level of Tropical Storm, and 2010 Megi is not only Super Typhoon, but also the strongest in the same name cycle for two decades, one of the biggest potentials of destruction, reflecting significant differences in the context of different annual sea temperature and atmospheric circles.
