Track Track and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Lekima (201909) 的生命史长达9天, track points多达158个, 整体呈现典型的NW行进后转 toward N上的特征. formed初期 (8月4日) , 系统位 at Philippines以E洋面 (17.4°N, 131.9°E) , 随后稳定 toward NW. 在8月6日至8月9日期间, 随着The latitude从18.6°N迅速提升至26.9°N, During由129°EW移至122.7°E, Typhoon 保持强劲的WNW路径, 直指我国SEcoastal .

In the early morning of August 10, after the Zhejiang Taizhou Mountain Landfall, the path took a significant turn. Guided by ground friction and atmospheric rings, the Typhoon passed through ZhejiangGo to Jiangsu, then along the East coastal N. On the evening of August 11, after the second Landfall in Shandong Qingdao, continued toward N deeper inland, eventually at August 13 in the Bay of Bohai to weaken disperse.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Lekima’s Intensity evolution has undergone three stages of “fast enhancement – peak maintenance – landfall weakening”. Starting with the August 4th Tropical Storm (18m/s, 996hPa), the system has exploded in just three days. August 7th night has reached the Severe Typhoon level (48m/s) and upgraded to Super Typhoon on August 8th. August 9th at 00 am reached the peak of life history, the center lowest air pressure dropped to 915hPa°E, max wind reached 62m/s. Even on the eve of the August 10th Landfall, its Intensity has remained at the Super Typhoon level (52m/s, 930hPa) , showing extremely strong structural stability.

After the landfall, the intensity declined sharply, dropping to Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) on the afternoon of August 10, but it is worth noting that it did not dissipate immediately on the N, but rather delivered long-distance steam to the N region with Tropical StormIntensity (about 23m/s), until August 13 weakened into Nameless.

Its peak air pressure (915hPa) was low at 2013’s Lekima (920hPa), high-performance at 2007’s (975hPa) and 2001’s (949hPa) same-name Typhoon.
