Typhoon Krathon, international code 202418, international name KRATHON, 2024 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2024-09-27 05:00:00, ended: 2024-10-04 02:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 920 hPa, max wind: 60m/s.
Typhoon Krathon at 2024-09-27 05:00:00 at 21.3°N, 126.7°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 60 m/s (~216 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 920hPa, recorded at 2024-10-01 02:00:00.
2024-10-03 13:00:00, Typhoon Krathon in Taiwan High City Forest Park coastal Landfall.
Typhoon Krathon gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2024-10-04 02:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 121 track points.
Typhoon Krathon (202418)'s life history began at 27 September 2024, at 05:00, the initial position at lat 21.3°N, 126.7°, then toward SW. During the 27th to 28th September, the system showed a noticeable WS path, the 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 undergone its crossing from the low-latitude high-temperature region toward the higher latitude area. 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, the Moving
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 1-04:00 to 14:00, Typhoon reached the peak of life, the central air pressure dropped to 920hPa, the maximum windined at 60m/s, and the high Intensity stateined at least 10h. However, from October 2:00, the intensity began to decline significantly, wind speed50m/s gradually dropped to
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.
