Typhoon Mekkhala, international code 202006, international name MEKKHALA, 2020 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2020-08-09 20:00:00, ended: 2020-08-11 14:00:00. Peak intensity: Typhoon , minimum central pressure: 980 hPa, max wind: 33m/s.
Typhoon Mekkhala at 2020-08-09 20:00:00 at 17.3°N, 118.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Typhoon intensity with max winds of 33 m/s (~119 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 980hPa, recorded at 2020-08-11 06:00:00.
2020-08-11 07:30:00, Typhoon Mekkhala in Fujian Zhejiang County coastal Landfall.
Typhoon Mekkhala gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2020-08-11 14:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 33 track points.
Typhoon Mekkhala (202006)'s life history is short, from formed to dispersed about 42h. Observational data show that its overall Moving path shows a stable NW toward movement, with no apparent turn toward or stagnation phenomenon. In the initial phase (August 9, 20 to 08), the system position at lat 17.3° to 19.0°N, between 118.5° to 118.6°, Moving speed is relatively slow, length changes are very small, mostly manifested as toward N advance. Then, from August 10, 12th, Typhoon accelerates toward NW, latitude from 19.9°N rapidly climbing to 22.7°N before Landfall, the latitude from 118.5°EW gradually shifts to 118.0°E. This near-direct NW path
在Intensity变化方面, Mekkhala经历了典型的“快速增强-巅峰维持-Landfall减弱”过程. formed初期为Nameless, Pressure1000hPa, max wind 15m/s. 8月10日12时 intensified into Tropical Storm, 随后在18时跃升为Severe Tropical Storm, 并在该等级维持了较长Time (约30h) , 期间气压稳定在985hPa左右. 值得注意的是, 在Landfall前6h (8月11日06时) , 系统突然爆发式增强, 达到peak intensity: Typhoon 级, 中心最低气压降至980hPa, max wind 增至33m/s. 然而, Landfall后Intensity衰减迅速, 仅3h后 (10:00) 便降回Severe Tropical Storm, 显示出陆地摩擦及水汽切断对短寿命Typhoon 的显著削弱作用.
Its peak air pressure (980hPa) is high at 2015 Mekkhala (975hPa) and 2002 Mekkhala (984hPa) , but far lower at 2026 Mekkhala (930hPa, Super Typhoon). Compared to at 2008 Mekkhala (990hPa) , 2020 version Intensity is slightly stronger.
