Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Kulap (201706)'s life history begins at the Northwest Pacific Ocean Ocean, the overall path presents a stable NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent turn toward or twist. From the initial formedPosition (26.5°N, 177°E) to the final dispersal Position (33.1°N, 156.4°E) , the system's centre latitude continues to rise N, the length continues to move W. During the early Moving (July 21-22) , Typhoon's main toward NW direction moves, the latitude rises rapidly from 26.5°N to 29.9°N, followed by the Moving slightly slowed, but after July 22:14:00ins a more uniform WWWW path.
