Analysis of Typhoon Krathon

Track Track and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Krathon (202418)'s life history began at 27 September 2024, at 05:00, the initial position at lat 21.3°, lng 126.7°, then toward SW. During the 27 September to 28 September, the system showed a clear WS path, latitude dropped from 21.3°N to 18.8°N. As of 29 September, the path had a significant twist, turning toward NW, and gradually approaching the sea area of Taiwan Strait S. Thro the Moving, the Typhoon center coordinates showed it had experienced a crossover from the low latitude high-temperature region toward the higher latitude region. On 3 October, at 13:00, the system landfall at Taiwan High City Forest Landfall. Landfall, after being affected by ground friction and environmental fields, Moving's speed slowed significantly,

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Krathon’s Intensity evolution underwent rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and rapid weakening in three stages. From September 27’s Nameless (15m/s, 1002hPa) to September 29’s Typhoon level (38m/s, 965hPa) , only for about two and a half days. Then Go to the explosive enhancement period, September 30’s 08:00 has reached Super Typhoon level (52m/s, 935hPa) . During October 1’s 04:00 to 14:00, Typhoon reached the peak of life, the central air pressure dropped to 920hPa°E max, windined at 60m/s, and this high Intensity stateined at least 10h. However, from October 2’s:00, intensity began to decline significantly, wind speed50m/s

Comparison of historical intensity

As the 18th Typhoon in 2024, Krathon joined the Super Typhoon line with a minimum atmospheric pressure of 920hPa and a Max Wind of 60m/s. Compared to the typhoon, historically identical to "Krathon" or code, this process shows extremely high intensity peak and longer Super Typhoon maintenance time.
