The SummaryTyphoon Maria (international code 201222) is a 2012 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 30m/s, minimum central pressure 980hPa, not in China Landfall, 2012-10-17 was numbered off, recording 13 track points.
Typhoon Maria, international code 201222, international name Maria, 2012 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2012-10-14 20:00:00, ended: 2012-10-17 20:00:00. Peak intensity: Severe Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 980 hPa, max wind: 30m/s.
Typhoon Maria at 2012-10-14 20:00:00 at 17.9°N, 143.1°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 30 m/s (~108 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 980hPa, recorded at 2012-10-16 08:00:00.
2012-10-17 20:00:00 After, Typhoon Maria gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2012-10-17 20:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 13 track points.
According to the observation data, its initial Position at Northwest Pacific surface (17.9°N, 143.1°E) , the overall Moving path showed noticeable pre-NW post-NE pylori linear characteristics. During the period of October 14, 20 to October 15, 20, the center of the Typhoon mainly toward NW, latitude from 17.9°N rapidly N to 22.8°N, longitude is slow W shift, indicating its influence by the sub-tropical high-pressure S-side guided gas flow significantly.
After the center coordinates from (24.2°N, 141°E) Moving to (26.9°N, 141°E) nearby, the length begins to reverse by W toward E (141°E -> 141.6°E) , marking Typhoon completing the turn toward , Go to W wind belt control area.
In terms of Intensity changes, “Maria” underwent a rapid enhancement to peak maintenance process. The initial stage is Tropical Storm level (18m/s, 1000hPa), on October 15th at 08 am wind speed increased to 23m/s, air pressure dropped to 990hPa. Then on October 16th at 08 am reached peak intensity, upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm, max wind to 30m/s, minimum central pressure dropped to 980hPa. Then until October 17th at 02 pm, Typhoonined at 30m/s peak wind speed and 980hPa low air pressure, showing stronger structural stability.
Compared to the same name Typhoon, the 2012 'Maria' Intensity is significantly weaker at 2018's 8th Typhoon 'Maria' (top Super Typhoon, 920hPa), and also slightly weaker at 2024's 5th Typhoon 'Maria' (top Severe Tropical Storm, 975hPa).
