Typhoon Lingling’s post-analysis value differs from the live value. The live value is the operational estimate during the typhoon’s active period. After Typhoon Lingling dissipates, the China Meteorological Administration combines more complete observational data to produce a best-track dataset. Academic research and historical rankings generally use the post-analysis value. Data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset, compiled from IBTrACS v04r01. Wind speeds were converted from knots to m/s and rounded.
Characteristics of Typhoon Lingling
Track Characteristics and Moving Trends
Typhoon Lingling (202512) had a relatively short lifecycle, lasting about 3.5 days from formation to dissipation. Its track was generally characterized by a pronounced movement toward the NNE, with no recorded landfall. During the initial stage (11:00 on Aug. 18 to 05:00 on Aug. 19), the system was located over waters between 22.7° and 24.6°N and 126.4° and 127.3°E, moving relatively slowly, mainly toward the N and NE. After 11:00 on Aug. 19, its latitude rose rapidly to 26.7°N, its movement speed increased, and its track shifted to a more pronounced NE direction.
Notably, between 17:00 on August 19 and 23:00 on August 20, the system oscillated slightly in longitude between 127.0°E and 128.3°E, while its latitude steadily advanced from 27.8°N to 31.8°N, indicating a stable northward movement guided by the edge of the subtropical high or the westerly wind belt. Starting from the early morning of August 21, the track shifted further eastward, and the system finally weakened and dissipated near 31.7°N, 130.7°E at 20:00 on August 21. Throughout the process, the system remained over the ocean and did not directly impact land.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
在Intensity方面, Typhoon Lingling整体表现较弱, peak intensity 仅为Tropical Storm级. 系统初生时为Tropical Depression, Pressure1002hPa, max wind 15m/s. 在8月19日至20日的大部分Time内, 受垂直风切变或海温等因素影响, intensity 甚至略有减弱, max wind 降至13m/s, Pressure升至1007hPa. 直到生命史末期 (8月21日11时) , 系统才短暂 intensified into Tropical Storm, 达到巅峰状态, 此时The minimum air pressure.为1000hPa, max wind 18m/s, 随后迅速减弱并消散.
与历届同名Typhoon 相比, 2025年Lingling的Intensity显著偏弱. 历史上, 2019年Lingling (201913) 和2001年Lingling (200123) 均发展为巅峰Super Typhoon, minimum pressure 分别低至930hPa和927hPa, 破坏力极强; 2007年Lingling (200719) 虽仅为Tropical Storm, 但其The minimum air pressure.也达到了994hPa, 优 at 本次过程. 仅有2014年Lingling (201401) 与本次Intensity较为接近, 同为Tropical Storm级别, 但2025年Lingling的最低气压 (1000hPa) 仍略高 at 2014年同类系统 (1004hPa为参考, 实际2025年更低一点, 但量级相当) . 总体而言, 本次Typhoon Lingling属 at 弱Tropical Cyclone 过程.
