Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Megi (201617) 的生命史始 at 2016年9月23日08时, formed at Northwest Pacific洋面 (15.6°N, 140.1°E) . 在初始阶段, 该系统保持稳定的NW toward Moving路径, 从Philippines以E海域逐渐逼近TaiwanE部coastal . 观测数据显示, 其经The latitude变化呈现明显的线性NW推进特征, 直至9月27日接近Taiwan花莲coastal 前, 路径未出现显著的大幅度转 toward 或停滞.

该Typhoon 具有典型的“双Landfall”路径特征. 首先 at 9月27日14时10分在Taiwan花莲coastal 实施第一次Landfall; 随后穿越Taiwan岛Go to Taiwan海峡, 受地形摩擦及环境场影响, 路径略微N抬后W折, 最终 at 9月28日04时40分在FujianQuanzhou City惠安 County进行第二次Landfall. LandfallFujian后, 系统继续 toward NW direction深入内陆, intensity 迅速衰减, 至9月29日05时在江W境内 weakened into Nameless并 was numbered off. 整个生命周期历时约6天, track points密集, 显示其Moving速度相对均匀, 未出现异常的打转或蛇行现象.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Megi's Intensity evolution experienced rapid enhancement to peak, followed by dramatic weakening by Landfall. Starting from the Tropical Storm (18m/s, 998hPa) on September 23, the system continued to strengthen on the open ocean, and in less than 4 days Time developed into the Super Typhoon. On September 27, at 06 am, it reached its peak in TaiwanE's ocean surface, the central lowest atmospheric pressure dropped to 935hPa°E, the maximum wind dropped to 52m/s. It is worth noting that the first month before the Landfall Taiwan (92706am) stillined the Super Typhoon grade, showing extremely strong nearshore explosions. However, under the Taiwan central mountain form blocked, Landfall Intensity rapidly dropped, after passing through Taiwan to

The 13th Typhoon Megi had reached an extremely low air pressure of 895hPa, the intensity far exceeding this year's 935hPa; while the 2nd Typhoon Megi peaked in 2022 was only Tropical Storm (995hPa), the intensity far weaker in this year.
