Typhoon Maysak trajectory
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Maysak (202009) 的生命周期始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的“N翘”型特征. formed初期 (8月28日至29日) , 系统位 at 130°E附近, 主要 toward W, 纬度维持在16°N至17°N之间. 随后, 受大气环流引导气流变化影响, 路径逐渐转为NW direction. 8月30日至31日期间, Typhoon 中心经度稳定在128°E至129°E区间, 纬度快速N抬至22.5°N, 显示出明显的加速N上Trend.
After early September, the track took a significant turn. From September 1 to 2, the typhoon center briefly stalled near 126°E to 127°E while continuing northward, before shifting substantially toward the ENE. In the early hours of September 3, the system made landfall along the coast of Busan, South Gyeongsang Province, Korea, with its center already at the high latitude of 39.1°N. After landfall, the typhoon quickly moved inland and crossed the Korean Peninsula toward the northeast, eventually reaching northeastern China and the Russian Far East. The coordinate sequence shows an exceptionally long later-stage track, extending from the tropics to the cold-temperate zone near 53.5°N and fluctuating between 122°E and 130°E, demonstrating the characteristics of a long-distance, high-latitude-moving system.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Maysak’s intensity followed a complete formation, rapid intensification, maintenance, and weakening cycle. It began as a tropical depression, then rapidly strengthened to a severe tropical storm and typhoon within 48 hours. Its main intensification period was from August 31 to September 1, when the central pressure dropped sharply from 955 hPa to 940 hPa and maximum winds climbed to 52 m/s, reaching super typhoon status. It maintained this intensity for at least 18 hours, from 02:00 to 20:00 on September 1. From September 2, the system weakened as it moved northward and the surface beneath it changed. At landfall, it had weakened to typhoon strength, with winds of 33 m/s and a central pressure of 970 hPa. It then rapidly weakened to a tropical storm and a low-pressure system, dissipating near 53.5°N on September 6.
Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, Maysak in 2020 reached a relatively high intensity. Its peak central pressure of 940 hPa and maximum wind speed of 52 m/s were significantly stronger than Maysak in 2026, which reached 985 hPa; in 2008, also 985 hPa; and in 2002, 1000 hPa. However, its extreme intensity was slightly lower than that of Maysak in 2015, which reached a peak central pressure of 910 hPa. Overall, Maysak in 2020 was one of the stronger typhoons of the same name in recorded history, displaying the typical characteristics of a high-intensity, long-lived late-autumn typhoon.
