Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Son-tinh (201809) 的生命史始 at 2018年7月16日14时, formed at lat 18.9°N, 123.7°的Northwest Pacific洋面. 从路径采样数据来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现稳定的W行Trend, 横跨S海N部并LandfallHainan岛. 在7月16日至17日凌晨阶段, 系统中心The latitude基本维持在19°N附近, During从123.7°E快速W移至120.5°E, 显示其初期受引导气流影响, Moving速度较快且 direction近乎正W.

Go to the morning of July 17, as the system approaches Scoastal, the path appears a subtle S toward adjustment. From the 17.10.19.4°N gradually S pressed to the 18.8°N of the 18.6.18th, then before the Landfall Hainan (July 18, 04:50), the latitude changes tended at slow. After the landfall, the Typhoon center continued toward W across the Hainan Island Go to N Bay, the latitude oscillated small between 18.7°N to 19°N, and eventually at July 1904, the dispersion weakened near Vietnam.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Son-tinh经历了“ formed-加强-维持-减弱”的典型过程. 初始阶段为Nameless (15m/s, 1000hPa) , at 7月17日10时 intensified into Tropical Storm (18m/s, 995hPa) . 在逼近Hainan岛期间, intensity 持续增强, at 7月18日02时达到巅峰状态, max wind 23m/s, minimum pressure 降至988hPa (注: 根据提供的巅峰数据983hPa/23m/s, 观测序列中最低记录为985hPa, 整体处 at Tropical Storm量). Landfall后, 受地形摩擦及水汽输送切断影响, intensity 出现波动, wind speed在18m/s至23m/s之间震荡, 气压在988hPa至992hPa间徘徊, 直至7月19日04时 weakened into Nameless.

Compared to History, Son-tinh's Intensity in 2018 was significantly weak at 23rd Typhoon Son-tinh in 2012, but slightly stronger at 6th Typhoon Son-tinh in 2024 (Tropical Storm, 998hPa).
