Typhoon Jangmi, international code 202005, international name JANGMI, 2020 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2020-08-08 08:00:00, ended: 2020-08-10 20:00:00. Peak intensity: Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 992 hPa, max wind: 23m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Jangmi

Typhoon Jangmi at 2020-08-08 08:00:00 at 17°N, 126.7°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 23 m/s (~83 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 992hPa, recorded at 2020-08-09 17:00:00.

2020-08-10 20:00:00 After, Typhoon Jangmi gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2020-08-10 20:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 36 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Jangmi

Track Characteristics and the Law of Moving

The life history of the 2020 No. 5 Typhoon “Jangmi” is relatively short, from formed to dispersed about 60h. Observation data shows that the Typhoon as a whole presents a significant toward NMovingTrend, path shape is rather flat, there is no obvious W twist or complex rotation. initial phase (August 8, 08:00 to 17:00) , system position at Philippines at the E surface (17°N-18.1°N, 126.6°E-126.7°E) , Moving speed is slower and duration changes are very small, mainly manifested as toward N advance.

Go to August 9th, the Typhoon shift accelerated, the latitude rapidly jumped from 20.5°N to 27.6°N, while the length always stableined near 126.2°E, showing a strong through toward transmission characteristics. From the morning of August 10th, as the latitude broke 30°N, the path began slightly toward E deviation, the length gradually increased from 126.2°E to 129.7°E, eventually weakened dispersion near 37.2°N. Thro the process, the Typhoon center always remained at sea, no Landfall record, its trajectory clearly reflects the dominant role of the mid-latitude W wind belt guided gas flow on the tropical cycle path.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In intensity, “Jangmi” underwent a rapid enhancement after maintenance peak, finally slow decline process. August 8 is Nameless phase, Pressure1000hPa, max wind 15m/s. August 9th 02:00 intensified into Tropical Storm, then in 12h internal air pressure dropped to 995hPa, wind speed increased to 20m/s. August 9th 18:00 reached life history peak, central minimum air pressure 992hPa, max wind 23m/s. It is worth noting that after reaching the peak, Typhoon Intensityined a stable state for 30h (September 18:00 to August 10:00:14), during the period air pressure and speedwind did not change significantly, until August 10:20 am weakened into 18m/s/998hPa.

Its peak intensity is only Tropical Storm level, minimum pressure is 992hPa. In comparison, the 15th Typhoon “Jangmi” in 2008 developed into a Super Typhoon, the minimum pressure is lower to 910hPa; the 6th Typhoon “Jangmi” in 2026 also reached the Typhoon level, the minimum pressure is 970hPa. even compared to the 23rd Typhoon “Jangmi” in 2014, the 2020 system Pressure is also 4hPa higher, indicating its limited energy accumulation, typical of a weak Tropical Storm process.
