Typhoon Mangkhut trajectory

Track Track and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Mangkhut (201822)'s life history began at the Northwest Pacific Ocean Ocean, the overall path represents the typical W-line NTrend. From formed early coordinates (12.9°N, 165.3°E) to the key nodes before Landfall, its latitude changes were relatively smooth, mainly along the lat 13° to 15° range toward W rapid Moving.

Go to Shain N after, the path shows a noticeable N-wrap feature. September 15, 05:00 to September 16, 15:00, the latitude climbs rapidly from 18.1°N to 21.6°N, while the length continues to W-shift. This "W-in and N-on" Moving pattern, guides the Typhoon center finally at September 16, 17:00 at the Guangdong River Gate coastal Landfall. After the landfall, the system continues toward NW direction deep inland, until September 17, 17:00 weakened into Nameless, the total span of the path is extremely large, affecting a wide range.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Mangkhut的Intensity演变经历了快速增强, 长期维持巅峰及Landfall后迅速衰减三个阶段. formed初期仅为Tropical Storm (18m/s) , 但在短短四天内, at 9月11日20:00爆发式增强为Super Typhoon, 达到最低气压910hPa, Max Wind65m/s的巅峰状态. 值得注意的是, 该peak intensity保持了约三天之久 (9月11日至9月14日) , 期间气压始终维持在910hPa, wind speed稳定在65m/s, 显示出极佳的结构稳定性.

On September 15th at 05:00wind speed dropped to 58m/s, air pressure rose to 925hPa; on the eve of Landfall on September 16th at 15:00, it had weakened into Severe Typhoon level (48m/s, 955hPa).

The 2018 Mangkhut Intensity has a overwhelming advantage over the 2013 10th Typhoon “Mangkhut” with the same name; the 2013 Mangkhut peak is only Tropical Storm, with a minimum pressure of 992hPa; and the 2018 Mangkhut peak is Super Typhoon, with a minimum pressure of 910hPa, both of which have a huge difference in intensity, reflecting the significant impact of ocean thermal conditions on the development of Typhoon in different years.
