Typhoon Wukong, international code 201811, international name WUKONG, 2018 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2018-07-23 20:00:00, ended: 2018-07-26 17:00:00. Peak intensity: Severe Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 980 hPa, max wind: 30m/s.
Typhoon Wukong at 2018-07-23 20:00:00 at 27.1°N, 159.4°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 30 m/s (~108 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 980hPa, recorded at 2018-07-25 14:00:00.
Typhoon Wukong gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2018-07-26 17:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 18 track points.
Typhoon Wukong (201811)'s life history is short, from formed to dispersed about 69h. Its path overall shows significant toward NW characteristics, then gradually shift toward NE direction. Initial phase (July 23, 20-20) , system position at lat 27.1° to 30.9°N, between 159.4° to 158.6°, Moving direction is mainly NW, length variation is small, latitude is steadily increasing.
Go to Medium (July 25, 02 to 20), the Typhoon center continues toward N advance, and accompanied by a slight toward W percentage, reaching lat 35.3°N, 157.2° near. Then, the path appears a noticeable twist. Since July 26, 02:00, as the latitude rapidly crosses 37°N and toward high latitude extends, the length begins to decrease significantly (toward lng 156.3°, 153.6°Moving), indicated by the influence of the mid-high latitude W belt guided airflow, typhoon track from N toward toward toNEward accelerated Moving.
在Intensity方面, Wukong经历了“增强-维持-减弱”的典型过程. formed初期为Tropical Storm级 (18m/s, 998hPa) . 7月24日08时至25日02时, wind speed维持在23m/s, 气压稳定在990hPa, 处 at 缓慢增强后的平台期. 7月25日05时, 系统升级为Severe Tropical Storm, wind speed增至25m/s, 气压降至985hPa. 随后Intensity快速攀升, at 7月25日14时达到巅峰状态, max wind 30m/s, minimum central pressure 980hPa. peak intensity维持约18h后, 自7月26日02时起开始减弱, wind speed逐步回落至20m/s, 气压回升至995hPa, 最终转化为温带气旋或消散.
Compared to previously-named Typhoon, Wukong's Intensity performance in 2018 was better at 2024 (202408) and WukongTyphoon in 2012 (201225), the latter's peak intensity is only Tropical Storm, the minimum pressure is 998hPa. however, its Intensity is far less than 2000 (200016)'s WukongTyphoon, the latter has reached Severe Typhoon level.
