Track Track and Moving Features

2024年第6号Typhoon “Son-tinh”的生命史短暂且路径清晰, 整体呈现稳定的NNW至NETrend. 根据观测数据, 该Typhoon at 2024年8月11日20时在(28.8°N, 155°E) formed, 初始即为Tropical StormIntensity. 在随后的约36h内, 其Center持续 toward 高The latitude海域推进, 最终 at 8月13日08时到达(35.2°N, 147.9°E).

From the latitude changes, the Moving path of “Son-tinh” has marked linear characteristics, there is no noticeable stagnation or rotation. at the beginning (July 11, 20 to 12, 08 am), the Typhoon mainly toward NW, the latitude from 28.8°N rapidly increased to 31.3°N, the length moved from 155°EW to 153.1°E. Subsequently (July 8, 08 to 13,08 pm) , the Moving direction gradually changed to N but not to NE direction, the length continued to E back to 147.9°E, the latitude was significantly increased to N to 35.2°N. Thro the process, the Typhoon was always at the far ocean, no landfall record, on the land with no direct impact on winds.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

During the entire monitoring period (total 13 track points), its central minimum air pressure is alwaysined at 998hPa, max wind remains at 18m/s, the level is always Tropical Storm.The data show that the Typhoon has neither reinforcement process nor weakening signs, showing a 'constant Intensity' state of Moving, which is relatively rare in tropical cycles, which may be related to its atmospheric environment with smaller vertical wind cutting or sea temperature equilibrium.

Compared with previously the same name Typhoon, 2024 'Son-tinh' Intensity is significantly weaker. recall historical data, 2012 23rd Typhoon 'Son-tinh' had reached the Severe Typhoon level, minimum pressure is lower to 950hPa; 2018 9th Typhoon 'Son-tinh' although the Tropical Storm peak, but its minimum air pressure also reached 983hPa, 998hPa in 2024.
