Typhoon Kaemi Route Characteristics

Moving and turning toward characteristics

The 6th Typhoon “Kaemi” in 2018 has a short life history, from formed to dispersed for about 3 days. Its overall path shows a clear NE toward MovingTrend, but there is a brief stagnation and adjustment process at the beginning. In the initial phase (June 14, 08:00 to 15 05:00) , the system is located at the Taiwan Strait S section to the waters near Taiwan Island, along the latitude from 21.4°N, 118.1°E) slow Moving to 22.7°N, 120.1°E. During this period, the latitude changes are small, the length toward E is slow, and the coordinates are almost unchanged between 02:00 and 05:00, showing a short-lived stagnation of the Typhoon center under the influence of complex terrain or environmental flow.

Starting at 8:00 on June 15, the Typhoon began accelerating toward NE, crossing the Taiwan Island E area of the Go to W Pacific. Moving speed significantly accelerated, especially between 17:00 and 20:00 on June 15, the latitude jumped rapidly from 23.3°N to 24.8°N, the length moved from 122°E to 123.9°E, indicating that the system has been freezing off the impact of near-shore friction, clearly guided by the sub-tropical high-pressure marginal flow.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of intensity, “Kaemi” overallined a weaker level, peak intensity only for Tropical Storm level. Initial phase is Nameless, Pressure994hPa, max wind 15m/s. June 15 08:00 was briefly intensified into Tropical Storm (18m/s, 992hPa) , but then weakened back to Nameless. until June 16 05:00, the system again intensified into Tropical Storm, and at 16:00 reached the peak of life history, the center minimum air pressure dropped to 990hPa, max wind increased to 20m/s. Then the intensity remained stable, until the observation ended.

The intensity of the 3rd Typhoon “Kaemi” peak intensity in 2024 reached Super Typhoon level, minimum pressure 925hPa; the 20th Typhoon “Kaemi” in 2012 was Severe Tropical Storm level, minimum pressure 985hPa.
