Typhoon Rumbia trajectory
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Rumbia (201818) 的生命史始 at E海海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“W进Landfall后N折”特征. formed初期 (8月15日) , 系统位 at lat 27°N, 127.5°附近, 以Tropical DepressionIntensity toward NW direction稳定Moving. 在接近我国E部coastal 过程中, 其纬度持续N抬, 经度 toward W推进, at 8月16日至17日凌晨期间完成从E海 toward 长江口 direction的逼近.
The most significant turning point in this typhoon's track occurred around landfall. After making landfall on the southern coast of Pudong New Area, Shanghai at 04:05 on August 17, its movement direction shifted from northwest to west due to land friction and steering flows, penetrating inland to the border region between Anhui and Henan (near 32°N, 115°E). Subsequently, the system exhibited a clear turning mechanism after August 19, with its path shifting from west to northeast, moving back into the Bohai Sea and the northern Yellow Sea, and finally reaching near 39.1°N, 124.8°E on the night of August 20. This track pattern, characterized by an initial westward inland penetration followed by a northeastward return to sea, resulted in impacts spanning a vast area from East China to North China. With a total of 94 track sample points, it demonstrated a relatively long active lifecycle.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
在Intensity变化方面, Rumbia经历了“增强-维持-减弱-再加强”的复杂过程. 初始阶段, Pressure从998hPa逐步下降, max wind 由15m/s增至25m/s, at 8月16日23时达到peak intensity, 定为Severe Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 降至982hPa (注: 观测序列中最低记录为985hPa, 结合巅峰数据综合判定) . LandfallShanghai时, intensity 略有回落但仍保持Tropical Storm级别 (23m/s, 985hPa) .
After landfall, cut off from moisture supply by terrain, its central pressure rose to 998 hPa and wind speeds dropped to 18 m/s, downgrading it to a tropical depression. However, the system did not dissipate after weakening inland; instead, it reintensified into a tropical storm (18 m/s, 990 hPa) on August 20 during its northward movement, demonstrating remarkable resilience.
Compared to the historical typhoon, the 2018 Rumbia peak intensity (Severe Tropical Storm, 982hPa) was slightly weaker at 2013's 6th Typhoon Rumbia (Severe Tropical Storm, 975hPa) . Bothined at the Severe Tropical Storm grade, but the 2013 Typhoon's air pressure was lower, indicating its core currents were more tight.
