On September 8, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center started to monitor a tropical disturbance that had developed about 935 km (580 mi) to the northeast of Hagåtña, Guam. [1] Unorganized deep convection was surrounding the disturbances developing low level circulation centre, in an area of low vertical windshear and improving outflow. [1] During that day the disturbance gradually developed further while moving westwards under the influence of a subtropical ridge of high pressure. [1] During September 9, as the system continued to move westwards, the Japan Meteorological Agency reported that the disturbance had developed into a tropical depression. [2] Continuing to move westwards the system gradually developed further with the depressions low level circulation centre consolidating before it was declared Tropical Depression 18W by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center during the next day.

Over the next two days, the system gradually drifted west and intensified slightly, prompting the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) to issue a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on it. [3] Convection gradually consolidated the low-level circulation center (LLCC) and the JTWC initiated advisories on the system on September 11, designating it with 18W. [4] The next day, the depression drifted into the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) initiated advisories on the depression, naming it Onyok. [5] However, just as similar to Kulap, Onyok also exited the PAR in 6 hours from entering the region. [6] In an advisory, the JTWC reported that there were at least two more vortices associated with the system, that caused an abrupt, erratic movement. [7] However, being located in an area of warm sea surface temperatures and low vertical wind shear, the depression continued to strengthen and on September 13, the JMA upgraded the depression to a tropical storm and named it Roke. [8]

On September 14, a Tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT) cell located approximately 05 degrees to the west of the system caused strong subsidence prompting the JTWC to downgrade Roke to a tropical depression. [9] However, because of favorable atmospheric conditions, Roke strengthened again, and the JTWC re-upgraded Roke to a tropical storm. [10] On September 16, the previously exposed LLCC was being re-consolidated with convection and Roke continued to strengthen again. Despite the upper low over the LLCC, Roke remained a warm-core tropical cyclone and the JTWC predicted that there were chances of Roke become a hybrid or a subtropical storm. [11] On continuing its west-northwestward movement, Roke eventually slowed to under 2 knots (3.7 km/h; 2.3 mph) with a tongue of cloud-free air entering the LLCC from the west side. Due to a mid-level warm anomaly, the subtropical transition was taking place at an unusually slow rate. [12] Later, that day, Roke turned to the southwest and slowed with convection consolidating and deepening near the LLCC. What began as a monsoonal depression with an elongated and weak LLCC was now more stronger and organized. [13] Also, the TUTT cell above the system started weakening and data from an ASCAT scatterometer pass revealed that the storm started to strengthen and the JTWC no longer expected a subtropical transition. [14]

On September 17, the JTWC reported that Roke developed a small, deep convective eye with an unusually large convective band surrounding the southern periphery of the storm. At that time, Roke was approximately 170 nautical miles (310 km; 200 mi) east of Kadena Air Base, Japan with winds of over 60 knots (110 km/h; 69 mph). [15] As a result, the JMA upgraded Roke to a severe tropical storm. [16] However, Roke soon started become elongated around the northeast quadrant as a response to the strong westerlies ahead of a mid-latitude trough. [17] But this was not for too long. Roke quickly became organized again and developed an excellent equatoward outflow and continued to strengthen. [18] Then, being located in an area of low vertical wind shear and abnormally high sea surface temperatures, Roke underwent rapid deepening and became a Category 1 typhoon on the SSHS with a maximum sustained windspeed of 70 knots (130 km/h; 81 mph) (1-min sustained). [19] The JTWC later reported that Roke underwent Explosive intensification, a more extreme case of rapid deepening that involves a tropical cyclone deepening at a rate of at least 2.5 mbar per hour for a minimum of 12 hours. Also, they added that Roke developed a 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) eye and a good poleward outflow channel. [20] On September 21, Typhoon Roke made landfall over Hamamatsu, Japan at about 5:00 UTC (14:00 JST). [21]

Soon Roke started weakening as cloud tops started getting warmed up and eye diameter started to decrease. However, the system still maintained a near radial outflow and the convective structure continued to remain organized that kept Roke from dissipating rapidly. [22] Although Roke entered a de-intensification phase, it still had plenty of strength that posed a great threat to regions of Japan. Being located approximately 330 nautical miles (610 km; 380 mi) southwest of Yokosuka, Kanagawa, the typhoon accelerated northeastward at approximately 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) with winds of over 100 knots (190 km/h; 120 mph) (1-min sustained) being a Category 3 typhoon on the SSHS. [23] Being embedded in the baroclinic zone, Roke started its extratropical transition. Also, land interaction severely weakened the storm to a minimal Category 1 typhoon with winds of under 70 knots (130 km/h; 81 mph) (1-min sustained). [24] Only six hours later, the storm further weakened and accelerated northeastward at approximately 31 knots (57 km/h; 36 mph) with rapidly dissipating deep convection completely sheared to the northeast of the LLCC. As a result, the JTWC ceased advisories on the storm, as it became fully extratropical. [25]

Preparations

Taiwan

On September 16, the Central Weather Bureau, the government meteorological research and forecasting institution of the Republic of China (Taiwan) reported that the outer bands of the storm might bring heavy rains to the northern part of the country over the next few days after slowly brushing the Japanese islands of Okinawa. [26]

On September 16, the Japanese refiner company Nansei Sekiyu KK announced that they suspended marine operations for the rest of the week at its Nishihara refinery in Okinawa Prefecture that produces some 100,000 barrels per day (16,000 m3/d) as the storm neared land. [27] Also, a football match was preponed by a day because of the storm's proximity to the island. The game was played during strong winds caused by Roke. [28] On September 18, The national weather agency of Japan warned the residents of wide areas across the Japanese archipelago of heavy rainfall, landslides and flash flooding that the strengthening storm can trigger in Japan, after in changed course from heading towards the Okinawa Islands to mainland Japan. Also, concerns grew as the storm was heading towards the same area which was devastated by Talas, an unusually large but weak tropical cyclone that hit the region just a few weeks ago. [29] Parts of the Kii Peninsula which were still in ruins were in a great danger as water levels of the mud dam rose to 70 centimeters, just below its maximum capacity. It was feared that as the storm brushes the southern coast, it could worsen the conditions caused by Typhoon Talas. [30] Hundreds of thousands of people in Japan were asked to evacuate their homes and move to safer places as Typhoon Roke neared southwestern Japan, on its way to hit the main island of Honshu with winds of over 100 knots (190 km/h; 120 mph). It was reported that a further 23,000 people in western Japan were advised to seek shelter from flood and landslide prone areas. [31] Over a million people, more than double the numbers for typhoon Talas, living in Nagoya were also forced to evacuate. The typhoon was expected to batter the island nation for three continuous days, as it moved through the tsunami ravaged Fukushima Prefecture. City officials in Nagoya upgraded the evacuation advisory to the strongest level available and doubled the number of people who are subjected to the notice as local rivers brimmed with heavy rain.

— Tokyo Electric Power Company [35]

On approaching Japan, the typhoon instantly claimed four lives in central and western Japan, leaving two more missing in Gifu Prefecture following widespread flooding triggered by the heavy rains. A large number of expressways were closed and up-to 200 flights were cancelled after floodwater reached knee-level.[ where? ][ clarification needed ] [36] Toyota Motor Corp, a multinational automaker headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi, Japan, shut down 11 factories in central Japan eliminating evening shifts due to the typhoon. The Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said, "We need to exercise the maximum caution against heavy rain, strong winds and high waves in wide areas from western to northern Japan, according to the Meteorological agency". [37] Soon, the strong winds and heavy rains cut power to more than 575,500 households in Tokyo Electric Power Company's service area. Also, commuter trains were halted and thousands of passengers were stranded though they tried to go home early before the storm hit Tokyo. [38] Later on September 21, local police and media reported that thirteen people were dead after being swept away by overflowing rivers. Unlike Talas, Roke moved significantly fast both inland and over the ocean. However, it was also unusually stronger. Also, the Nissan Motor Company's spokesman Chris Keeffe said "workers at its Yokohama headquarters and nearby technical facilities were being told to go home early for safety reasons, and two plants were not operating." [39] Typhoon Roke caused no immediate problems other than broken security cameras at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, which had been in its path overnight. The plant had been sent into meltdown by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and efforts are still under way to bring the reactors under control. [40]

Other areas

The extratropical remnants of Typhoon Roke hit parts of Russia, Alaska and Canada. Heavy rain fell in the Alaska Panhandle and British Columbia.

The 2008 Pacific typhoon season was a below average season which featured 22 named storms, eleven typhoons, and two super typhoons. The season had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 2008, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2012 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2012 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly above average season that produced 25 named storms, fourteen typhoons, and four intense typhoons. It was a destructive and the second consecutive year to be the deadliest season, primarily due to Typhoon Bopha which killed 1,901 people in the Philippines. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season ran throughout 2012, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Pakhar, developed on March 28, while the season's last named storm, Wukong, dissipated on December 29. The season's first typhoon, Guchol, reached typhoon status on June 15, and became the first super typhoon of the year on June 17.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2009 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2009 Pacific typhoon season was a below average season that spawned only 22 named storms, 13 typhoons, and five super typhoons. It was also recognized as the deadliest season in the Philippines for decades. The first half of the season was very quiet whereas the second half of the season was extremely active. The season's first named storm, Kujira, developed on May 3 while the season's last named storm, Nida, dissipated on December 3.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Depression 18W (2009)</span> Pacific tropical depression in 2009

Tropical Depression 18W was a weak, short-lived tropical cyclone that brought heavy rains to parts of the Mariana Islands ahead of the more intense Typhoon Melor. Forming from an area of low pressure on September 26, 18W was first monitored by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) as a tropical depression. Tracking generally towards the west, deep convection gradually developed around the system and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued their first advisory on the depression early on September 28. Although the depression initially struggled to maintain deep convection, it eventually became better organized and was upgraded to a tropical storm on September 29 by the JTWC. Several hours after reaching this intensity, the system began to rapidly dissipate as its inflow and outflow were severely disrupted by two nearby storms, Parma to the west and Melor to the east. The cyclone fully dissipated near Guam early on September 30 before being absorbed by Typhoon Parma.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2011 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2011 Pacific typhoon season was a below average season that produced a total of 21 named storms, 8 typhoons, and four super typhoons. This season was much more active than the previous season, although both seasons were below the Pacific typhoon average of 26. The season ran throughout 2011, though most tropical cyclone tend to develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Aere, developed on May 7 while the season's last named storm, Washi dissipated on December 19.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2015 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2015 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly above average season that produced twenty-seven tropical storms, eighteen typhoons, and nine super typhoons. The season ran throughout 2015, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and November. The season's first named storm, Mekkhala, developed on January 15, while the season's last named storm, Melor, dissipated on December 17. The season saw at least one named tropical system forming in each of every month, the first time since 1965. Similar to the previous season, this season saw a high number of super typhoons. Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) during 2015 was extremely high, the third highest since 1970, and the 2015 ACE has been attributed in part to anthropogenic warming, and also the 2014-16 El Niño event, that led to similarly high ACE values in the East Pacific.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2016 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2016 Pacific typhoon season is considered to have been the fourth-latest start for a Pacific typhoon season since reliable records began. It was an average season, with a total of 26 named storms, 13 typhoons, and six super typhoons. The season ran throughout 2016, though typically most tropical cyclones develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Nepartak, developed on July 3, while the season's last named storm, Nock-ten, dissipated on December 28.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2017 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2017 Pacific typhoon season was a below-average season in terms of accumulated cyclone energy and the number of typhoons and super typhoons, and the first since the 1977 season to not produce a Category 5-equivalent typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The season produced a total of 27 named storms, 11 typhoons, and only two super typhoons, making it an average season in terms of storm numbers. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season runs throughout 2017, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Muifa, developed on April 25, while the season's last named storm, Tembin, dissipated on December 26. This season also featured the latest occurrence of the first typhoon of the year since 1998, with Noru reaching this intensity on July 23.

Severe Tropical Storm Talas, was an unusually large tropical cyclone that caused many deaths and severe damage to Japan. It was the 12th named storm and the 7th severe tropical storm of the 2011 Pacific typhoon season. Talas is known to have killed at least 82 people, and 16 more are still missing. The word Talas is a Filipino word meaning sharpness. It followed five months after Japan was hit by a large tsunami.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typhoon Kai-tak (2012)</span> Pacific typhoon in 2012

Typhoon Kai-tak, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Helen, was a mild tropical cyclone that affected China, Vietnam and Laos. It was the seventh typhoon and the thirteenth named storm of the 2012 Pacific typhoon season. The storm killed 41 people and caused a sum of US$765 million in losses. Kai-tak can be tracked back to the broad area of disturbance embedded in a monsoonal trough that was first spotted, early on August 10. It was only at midnight, on August 16, when the JMA officially declared Kai-tak a typhoon. On the morning of August 17, the wind speed dropped to 60 knots and was no longer a typhoon. The typhoon caused heavy damage in China's two provinces, killing four people and causing huge economic loss. Kai-Tak slammed the northern Philippines triggering flash floods and landslides and killing at least ten people, one week after deadly monsoon rains battered the country. In Vietnam, Kai-Tak has stormed across the country's north bringing high winds and floods to several areas including the capital Hanoi.

Typhoon Tembin, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Igme, was an intense tropical cyclone in the Western Pacific Ocean that had an unusual trajectory, approaching Taiwan twice. Tembin, which means balancing scale or Libra in Japanese, was the eighth typhoon and the fourteenth named storm of the 2012 Pacific typhoon season. After making landfall over the southern tip of Taiwan late on August 23, Tembin weakened but regained strength in the South China Sea, looping before making a second landfall on southern Taiwan as a tropical storm on August 27; however, the system did not restrengthen in the East China Sea, and made landfall over South Korea on August 30 before becoming extratropical.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Timeline of the 2011 Pacific typhoon season</span>

This timeline documents all of the events of the 2011 Pacific typhoon season, the period that tropical cyclones formed in the Western Pacific Ocean in 2011. Most of the tropical cyclones formed between May and November 2011. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator between 100°E and the International Date Line. Tropical storms that form in the entire Western Pacific basin are assigned a name by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Tropical depressions that form in this basin are given a number with a "W" suffix by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). In addition, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility. These names, however, are not in common use outside of the Philippines.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typhoon Hagupit (2014)</span> Pacific typhoon in 2014

Typhoon Hagupit known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Ruby, was the second most intense tropical cyclone in 2014. Hagupit particularly impacted the Philippines in early December while gradually weakening, killing 18 people and causing $114 million of damage in the country. Prior to making landfall, Hagupit was considered the worst threat to the Philippines in 2014, but it was significantly smaller than 2013's Typhoon Haiyan.

Typhoon Malakas, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Gener, was a powerful tropical cyclone which affected Taiwan and Japan in mid September 2016. It was the sixteenth named storm and the sixth typhoon of the annual typhoon season in 2016. Malakas formed on September 11, just south of Guam. The system gradually organized and improved its outer bands, which prompted JTWC to give its identifier as Tropical Depression 18W. A few hours later, JMA received its name Malakas for 18W. On September 13, Malakas entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, which gained the name Gener by PAGASA. Despite its marginal conditions for further development, Malakas continued to intensify into a typhoon.

In Vietnam total damage reached US$73.96 million.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2021 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2021 Pacific typhoon season was the second consecutive to have below average tropical cyclone activity, with twenty-two named storms, and was the least active since 2011. Nine became typhoons, and five of those intensified into super typhoons. This low activity was caused by a strong La Niña that had persisted from the previous year. The season's first named storm, Dujuan, developed on February 16, while the last named storm, Rai, dissipated on December 21. The season's first typhoon, Surigae, reached typhoon status on April 16. It became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day, also becoming the strongest tropical cyclone in 2021. Surigae was also the most powerful tropical cyclone on record in the Northern Hemisphere for the month of April. Typhoons In-fa and Rai are responsible for more than half of the total damage this season, adding up to a combined total of $2.02 billion.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2022 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2022 Pacific typhoon season was the third consecutive season to have below average tropical cyclone activity, with twenty-five named storms forming. Of the tropical storms, ten became typhoons, and three would intensify into super typhoons. The season saw near-average activity by named storm count, although many of the storms were weak and short-lived, particularly towards the end of the season. This low activity was caused by an unusually strong La Niña that had persisted from 2020. The season's first named storm, Malakas, developed on April 6, while the last named storm, Pakhar, dissipated on December 12. The season's first typhoon, Malakas, reached typhoon status on April 12. The season ran throughout 2022, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. Tropical storms Megi and Nalgae were responsible for more than half of the casualties, while typhoons Hinnamnor and Nanmadol both caused $1 billion in damages.
