Analysis of Typhoon Noul's Track Characteristics
Track Movement Features
Typhoon Noul (202612) 的生命史较短, 从 formed至结束仅历时约33h. 根据观测数据, 其整体Moving路径呈现稳定的NW toward Trend, 未出现明显的转 toward 或停滞现象. 在初始阶段 (7月23日05:00至23:00) , 系统中心纬度由15.8°N缓慢N移至18°N, 经度由130.4°EW进至125.3°E, 此期间Moving direction主要为WNW, 横 toward 位移显著大 at 纵 toward 位移. Go to 7月24日凌晨后, 随着系统逐渐靠近Philippines以E洋面, Moving direction略微 toward N分量增加, 最终 at 14:00到达19°N, 122.2°E. 全过程中, Typhoon 中心始终保持在开阔洋面上, 无Landfall记录. track points分布较为均匀, 表明引导气流相对稳定, 未受到复杂地形或剧烈天气系统的显著干扰.
Intensity Evolution Analysis
Noul's intensity evolution was characterized by prolonged maintenance followed by rapid late-stage intensification. During the first half of its lifecycle (seven observation times from 05:00 to 23:00 on July 23), the system remained a tropical depression with constant maximum winds of 15 m/s and central pressure at 1000 hPa, indicating stagnation in the early development stage. The turning point occurred at 02:00 on July 24, when the system officially upgraded to a tropical storm, with wind speeds increasing to 18 m/s and pressure dropping to 998 hPa. Intensity continued to climb, reaching 20 m/s winds and 995 hPa pressure by 08:00. At the end of its lifecycle (14:00), Noul reached peak intensity with maximum winds of 23 m/s and minimum pressure of 990 hPa. This rapid jump from tropical depression to severe tropical storm shortly before dissipation reflects favorable sea surface temperature conditions or vertical wind shear environments for convective bursts in the later stages.
Same-Name Comparison
Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, Noul in 2026 was weaker in intensity. Typhoon Noul (2015, No. 6) developed into a super typhoon with a minimum pressure as low as 920 hPa, causing extreme damage; Typhoon Noul (2020, No. 11) also reached severe tropical storm status with a minimum pressure of 985 hPa. In contrast, the peak pressure (990 hPa) and maximum wind speed (23 m/s) of Noul in 2026 were lower than those two cases, similar in magnitude only to Typhoon Noul (2008, No. 21, peak tropical storm, minimum pressure 998 hPa), but slightly stronger than the 2008 case. Overall, Noul in 2026 was a moderate-to-weak tropical cyclone event.
