CMA Best Track final data
| Max Wind | The minimum air pressure. |
| CMA track data | 62 m/s | 910 hPa |
| Final best-track value | 68 m/s | 900 hPa |
Typhoon Ragasa’s post-season final values differ from its live published values. The live values reflect operational data during the typhoon’s active period. After the typhoon ends, the CMA reviews more complete observational data and produces final best-track values, which are generally used for academic research and historical rankings. Data sources: CMA Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (compiled through IBTrACS v04r01), with wind speeds converted from knots to m/s and rounded.
Typhoon Ragasa trajectory analysis
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon “Ragasa” (202518号) formed at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的W行LandfallTrend. 从9月18日20时的初始Position (15.8°N, 133.2°E) 至9月24日首次Landfall前, Typhoon 中心主要维持 toward WNW. 在9月18日至20日期间, 纬度由15.8°N缓慢N抬至17.3°N, 经度快速W移, 显示其受副热带高压引导气流影响显著. Go to S海后, 路径略微N折, 9月23日至24日期间, 纬度从19.9°N上升至21.6°N, 经度由118.3°EW进至112.3°E, Moving速度保持相对稳定. 该Typhoon 生命史中未出现明显的路径大角度转 toward 或停滞打转现象, track points分布较为平滑, 最终连续三次Landfall我国华Scoastal , 分别为Guangdong阳江, GuangxiN海及Guangxi防城港, 显示出极强的W行惯性.
Intensity evolution and peak maintenance
“Ragasa”经历了快速增强, 巅峰维持及Landfall减弱三个典型阶段. formed初期为Tropical Storm (18m/s) , 随后在48h内迅速加强, 至9月21日20时达到Super Typhoon级别, Pressure降至最低值910hPa, max wind 达62m/s. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在peak intensity上维持Time较长, 从9月21日20时至9月23日16时, 长达近60h内Pressure保持在910-920hPa区间, max wind 维持在58-62m/s, 显示出其核心结构的高度稳定性. 9月24日接近land时, intensity 开始缓慢下降, 但仍以Severe Typhoon (42m/s) 和Typhoon (33m/s) 等级分别完成第一次和第二次Landfall, 直至9月25日17时在Guangxi境内 weakened into Tropical Depression, 整个过程Intensity变化符合深海暖池能量供给及Landfall摩擦耗散的物理规律.
Historical Intensity Comparison
就Intensity而言, 2025年第18号Typhoon “Ragasa”The minimum air pressure.910hPa, Max Wind62m/s的数据表明其属 at 极Severe Typhoon范畴. 在Northwest PacificTyphoon 历史序列中, 能达到910hPa以下气压的Typhoon 相对较少, 其peak intensity远超CommonSevere Typhoon标准. 与历史上同code或同名Typhoon 相比, 虽然具体个例需结合当年大气环流背景, 但仅从观测数据看, “Ragasa”在S海N部仍能长Time维持Super Typhoon级Intensity, 且Landfall时残余威力依然巨大 (第二次Landfall仍为Typhoon ), 其能量释放之充分, 维持高強度Time之久, 在近年Landfall华S的Typhoon 中较为罕见, 具有显著的极端性特征.
