Typhoon Kai_tak, international code 201213, international name Kai-tak, 2012 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2012-08-12 23:00:00, ended: 2012-08-17 23:00:00. Peak intensity: Typhoon , minimum central pressure: 968 hPa, max wind: 40m/s.
Typhoon Kai_tak at 2012-08-12 23:00:00 at 16.7°N, 128.8°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Typhoon intensity with max winds of 40 m/s (~144 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 968hPa, recorded at 2012-08-17 10:00:00.

Typhoon Kai_tak gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2012-08-17 23:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 77 track points.
From the initial Position (16.7°N, 128.8°E) on August 12 to August 23 dispersed at the border of Vietnam (21.5°N, 107.2°E) , its latitude continues to rise N about 4.8 degrees, the length of W moves over 21 degrees. During the crossing of the Philippines, the route appears slightly S twisted and quickly resumed NW toward , indicating that the geothermal friction is disturbed by the short-term route, but has not changed by its sub-tropical high pressure led toward toward forwarded large-scale flow background.
“Kai_tak”的Intensity变化经历了“缓慢增强—快速爆发—维持巅峰—Landfall减弱”的典型过程. formed初期为Nameless, Go to S海前缓慢加强至Severe Tropical Storm级. 值得注意的是, 在8月16日07时Go to S海中部后, 其Intensity发生显著跃升, 由Severe Tropical Storm迅速增强为Typhoon , Pressure降至975hPa, max wind 达33m/s. 随后在接近Guangdongcoastal 过程中继续加深, at 8月17日凌晨达到巅峰状态, minimum pressure 968hPa, max wind 40m/s. 即便在8月17日中午以Typhoon Intensity二次LandfallZhanjiang后, 其核心结构仍保持完整, 直至Go to Guangxi及Vietnam境内才因陆地摩擦迅速 weakened into Severe Tropical Storm. 这种近岸爆发增强的特性, 增加了防御工作的复杂性.
In comparison to the 26th Typhoon “Kai_tak” (top only Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 990hPa) in 2017, “Kai_tak”’s Intensity is significantly stronger, air pressure is low 22hPa, wind speed level is two levels higher. Compared to the 21st Typhoon “Kai_tak” in 2005, both reached the Typehoon level, but the 2005 “Kai_tak”’s minimum air pressure is 960hPa, slightly lower at the 2012 “Kai_tak”’s 968hPa, showing the 2005 individual Intensity a little stronger.
