Typhoon Mekkhala (201501) 的生命史始 at 2015年1月14日14时, formedPosition位 at lat 10.4°N, 138.4°的Northwest Pacific洋面. 从整体路径来看, 该Typhoon 呈现稳定的WNWMovingTrend. 在 formed初期 (1月14日至15日) , 系统主要 toward WMoving, 纬度由10.4°N缓慢升至11.3°N, 经度从138.4°E快速W移至135.8°E. 随后, 路径出现轻微的N折迹象, 1月16日02时至17日05时期间, 纬度维持在11.2°N至11.6°N之间波动, 经度持续W进至127.3°E, 显示引导气流相对稳定.
The key turn toward point appeared after 11 a.m. on January 17.Typhoon center at lat 11.6°N, 126.3°, followed by a marked toward N increase. by 16 a.m. on January 17.LandfallPhilippines Samara E coastal before, the center had N raised to 12.2°N. After landfall, affected by the ground friction and environmental fields, Typhoon continued toward NW direction across the Philippines, and finally at 18 a.m. on January 23 decreased at lat 14.7°N, 121.9° near.
