On September 29, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) identified a low-pressure area approximately 241 nautical miles (446 km) north-northeast of Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia. Satellite imagery indicated a weak area turning with disorganized convective activity, primarily along the system's western boundary. [1] The disturbance later entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and was named Paolo by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) around 08:00 PHT (00:00 UTC) on October 1, with the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) [α] also starting advisories and classifying it as a tropical depression. [2] [3] The JTWC also issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) later that same day, citing tropical cyclone formation within the next 12 to 24 hours. [4] The agency later followed suit and designated Paolo as 27W, with fragmented banding and flaring convection around the low-level circulation center (LLCC). [5] Both agencies upgraded 27W into a tropical storm on the following day, with the JMA assigning it the international name Matmo as it tracked west-northwestward. [6] At 23:00 PHT (15:00 UTC), the PAGASA upgraded Matmo to a severe tropical storm, as satellite imagery showed improved organization, with deep convective banding wrapping into the LLCC, embedded in a favorable environment. [7] [8] The‌ JMA later followed suit and also upgraded the system to a severe tropical storm early on October 3. [9]

Both the JTWC and the PAGASA subsequently upgraded Matmo to a minimal typhoon before it made landfall over Dinapigue, Isabela. [10] [11] [12] [13] As the typhoon brushed over Northern Luzon, a satellite imagery revealed a well-defined deep convective banding pattern wrapping into the LLCC of Matmo, featuring an impressive central dense overcast (CDO) and extensive feeder bands extending well beyond the island's perimeter. [14] The PAGASA and the JTWC later downgraded Matmo to a mid-range tropical storm before it reemerged over the West Philippine Sea near Santa Cruz, Ilocos Sur at 17:00 PHT. [15] [16] The JTWC re-upgraded Matmo to a typhoon at around 09:00 UTC on October 4 as it showed improving convective banding around the LLCC and cooling cloud tops cooled over the previous six hours. [17] On the following day Matmo reached its peak intensity of a Category 2-equivalent typhoon, with estimated one-minute sustained winds of 165 km/h (89 kn) and a minimum central pressure of 968 hPa (28.6 inHg). [18] It made landfall over Naozhou Island and Donghai Island near Mazhang District and Xuwen County on the Leizhou Peninsula on October 5 [19] [20] at 14:50 CST (06:50 UTC). [21] It made another landfall over Fangchenggang, [22] Guangxi Province early on October 6 at 01:10 CST [23] [24] after it entered the Gulf of Tonkin. [25] The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) last noted its position at 18:00 UTC on October 6 as a low-pressure area to be 23°00′N105°12′E / 23.0°N 105.2°E / 23.0; 105.2 , [26] 122 nautical miles (226 km) north-northwest from Hanoi.

At 05:00 PHT on October 1 (21:00 UTC), PAGASA began issuing Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 for the entire provinces of Bulacan, Cagayan, Camarines Norte, Catanduanes, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Quezon and Tarlac, and northern Zambales. [27] The PAGASA warned in its bulletin at 11:00 PHT (03:00 UTC) that Paolo, about 450 nautical miles (835 km) east of southeastern Luzon, could bring heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding to parts of Northern and Central Luzon by October 3. [28] [29] [30]

TCWS No. 2 was raised the following day for some portions of Apayao, Cagayan, and Ilocos Sur, as well as the entire provinces of Abra and Kalinga. [31] As Matmo strengthened into a severe tropical storm at 23:00 PHT (15:00 UTC), the agency upgraded several areas to TCWS No. 3, including northern Aurora, Benguet, La Union, central and southern Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, and the entire provinces of Ifugao and Mountain Province. [32] [33] At 11:00 PHT (03:00 UTC) on October 3, the agency raised TCWS No. 4 for extreme northern Aurora, the southern portions of Isabela, Abra, Ilocos Sur, the northern portions of Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, La Union, and the entire provinces of Mountain Province and Ifugao. [12] [34] The signal was later lowered when the PAGASA downgraded Matmo to a severe tropical storm at 17:00 PHT on October 3 [35] and lifted altogether the next day. [36]

Apart from wind signals, the PAGASA issued a heavy rainfall advisory at 11:00 PHT on October 3, placing Bataan and Zambales under an Orange Rainfall Warning, indicating that flooding was threatening and residents should prepare to evacuate if necessary. A Yellow Rainfall Warning was also issued for Batangas, Cavite, and several towns in Quezon, signalling the possibility of flooding in flood-prone areas. [37] A storm surge warning was also in effect over parts of Luzon. [38] [39] Classes were suspended in Isabela, Cagayan, Quirino and Nueva Vizcaya on October 3. [40]

Hong Kong

The HKO began tracking the low-pressure area as early as September 29, [41] upgrading it to a tropical depression by 23:00 HKT (15:00 UTC) on October 1. [42] At 17:20 HKT (09:20 UTC) on October 3, the HKO announced that Standby Signal No. 1 would be issued at 19:40 HKT. [43] The signal was issued as scheduled, [44] setting a new record that the tropical cyclone warning signal was issued for the twelfth storm in a season, surpassing the 1974 record of eleven storms. [45] At 12:20 HKT (04:20 UTC) on October 4, Strong Wind Signal No. 3 was issued, [46] following an earlier announcement made at 09:40 HKT (01:40 UTC). [47] Later that day, at 17:45 HKT (09:45 UTC), the HKO upgraded Matmo to typhoon status. [48] The next day at 15:40 HKT, Strong Wind Signal No. 3 was lowered to Standby Signal No. 1. [49] Signal No. 1 was subsequently cancelled at 22:20 HKT (14:20 UTC). [50] .

Macau

The Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau [β] (SMG) issued the Signal No. 1  [ yue ] at 23:00 MST (15:00 UTC) on October 3. [51] [52] [53] The 1974 record on the number of storms which required the issuance of warning signals was tied. [54] The signal was raised to Signal No. 3 at 16:00 MST (08:00 UTC) on October 4. [55] [56] A blue storm surge warning was also issued, at 12:00 MST. [57] At 20:00 MST (12:00 UTC), the SMG upgraded Matmo to a typhoon. [58] They also announced at 23:00 MST (15:00 UTC) that Gale or Storm Southeast Signal No. 8 would be hoisted between 02:00 to 04:00 MST on October 5. [59] The signal was hoisted at 02:00 MST and lowered to Signal No. 3 at 13:00 MST; [60] [61] whereas the storm surge signal was cancelled at 11:00 MST. [62] [63] The state of prevention as declared also ended at 13:00 MST as Signal No. 8 was lowered. [64] When Signal No. 8 was hoisted, ferry services with Hong Kong and traffic on the Hong Kong–Macau–Zhuhai Bridge were suspended. [65] All typhoon signals were cancelled by 21:00 MST (13:00 UTC). [66]
