Typhoon Talim,known in the Philippines as Typhoon Lannie,was an intense and destructive tropical cyclone that affected parts of East Asia,especially Japan,during September 2017. The eighteenth named storm and the sixth typhoon of the 2017 Pacific typhoon season,Talim's origins can be traced back to an area of low-pressure that the Joint Typhoon Warning Center first monitored on September 6. The disturbance was upgraded to a tropical depression by the Japan Meteorological Agency only two days later,and it became a tropical storm on September 9,earning the name Talim. Talim grew stronger over the next few days,eventually becoming a typhoon the next day. Within a favorable environment,the typhoon rapidly intensified after passing through the Ryukyu Islands. However,as it moved eastward,Talim started to weaken due to wind shear,and on September 16,it was downgraded to a tropical storm. The storm passed over Japan,near Kyushu the next day,before becoming extratropical on September 18. The extratropical remnants were last noted by the JMA four days later,before dissipating fully on September 22.
In preparations for the typhoon,more than a half a million individuals evacuated in the Japanese islands,and tropical cyclone alerts were raised in the country itself,Taiwan and the eastern portion of China. The NDRRMC in the Philippines also issued bulletins on the system,depicting a possibility of flash floods and landslides in Luzon;however,the typhoon passed safely to the east of the country. 5 deaths were attributed from Talim,all in Japan and caused over $750 million worth of damages over the country. [1]
On September 6, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began monitoring a low pressure area for potential tropical cyclogenesis, under a favorable environment. [2] Two days later, on September 8, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) confirmed the formation of a tropical depression to the southeast of the Mariana Islands. [3] [2] [4] A ridge steered the depression to the northwest to more favorable conditions, including low wind shear, warm sea surface temperatures and good outflow. [3] On the same day, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) followed suit, recognizing it as a tropical depression in their first bulletin. [5] The depression continued intensifying, becoming a tropical storm, early the next day, according to the JMA, and gave the name Talim on the system. [6] [7] [8] The JTWC followed upgrading the system on the afternoon hours of the same day. [6] The next day, it strengthened further to a severe tropical storm in the Philippine Sea. [9]
In the early morning hours of September 10, the JMA upgraded the system to a typhoon, with a small eye emerging on the system. [10] Its eye became apparent on satellite images later that day, [11] before Talim entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, with the PAGASA issuing on their first bulletin, classifying the system as Typhoon Lannie. [12] [13] It passed over the Ryukyu Islands on September 13 as it continued to move to the northwest. [14] Also at that time, Lannie exited the PAR, with the PAGASA issuing their final advisory on the system. [15] [16] Talim reached its peak strength the next day, with sustained winds of about 140 mph (230 km/h) for one minute mean and a minimum pressure of 935 mbar (27.61 inHg). [17] At this time, the typhoon's wind field expanded as far as Shanghai and it featured a large eye. [11] On September 15, Talim began to weaken due to increasing upper-level wind shear, with the typhoon becoming slowly disorganized. [18] [19] It further degraded to a tropical storm as it slowly approached the Japanese Islands, before making landfall near Kyushu on September 17. [20] [21] It crossed the country, before transitioning to an extratropical storm as it entered the Sea of Japan, near Hokkaido on the next day, [22] following with the JTWC and JMA issuing their final warning. [3] It soon hit Sakhalin as a gale-force extratropical storm later that day. [22] The extratropical remnants persisted for four more days before dissipating on September 22, just offshore Magadan Oblast. [3]
As Talim entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, the PAGASA issued their subsequent bulletins, pinpointing the possibility of the typhoon inducing the southwest monsoon. This may increase risks of flash floods and landslides; however, Talim passed safely to the northeast of the country. [12] [15]
Blue and orange alerts were issued for parts of China due to the typhoon. [23] [24] [25] Over 200,000 people in Fujian, China and Zheijang provinces were evacuated ahead of Talim. [26] [27] [28] Train tickets were no longer available for purchase in Shanghai due to high demands. [29] Some schools and large sports stadiums were used as shelters for evacuees. [30] Over 2,000 touristbspots and construction sites have been shut down in Zheijang, and over 4,700 boats were towed back to different ports. [31] Trees were also cut down to prevent accidents.
On September 12, a sea warning was issued for eastern Taiwan's coastal waters ahead of the typhoon. [32] Some flights have been canceled, and sandbags have been placed in anticipation of storm surges and flash flooding. [33] [34]
The US Navy began issuing Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness alerts for all US bases in Okinawa on September 12. [21] As Talim passes through, high waves are expected across the whole Ryukyu Islands. [35] [36]
More than 640,000 individuals were ordered to evacuate across southern Japan ahead of the typhoon. [37] [36] [38] Over 644 domestic flights were cancelled and other international flights were moved to other days, making the tourists stranded. [39] Some games were also cancelled and/or moved to other dates due to Talim. [40] [41] Warnings were issued at all households regarding the approaching typhoon. [42]
Local residents and tourists of Primorsky Territory and the Kuril Islands were warned of high waves, heavy rains and gusty winds as Ex-Talim approaches the area. [43]
5 deaths were reported and over 73 were injured, all in Japan. The total damages were estimated at $750 million (2017 USD).
Starting on September 13, rough surfs started to impact Taiwan. [44] As the typhoon slowly approached, heavy rain warnings were issued on the northeastern part of the country. [45] Forecasts depicted the possibility of Talim making landfall near Taipei; however, Talim passed to the east of the country. Despite that, rainshowers impacted the northeastern part of the island. [46] Also at that time, lightning was detected on the typhoon at its peak intensity. [47]
Storm surges began to impact the eastern coast of Zhejiang on September 14. [23] As Talim neared, squally rainfall and gusty winds were experienced at the area. [48] However, some residents watch the big waves at the shore in awe. [23] [49] [50]
Fortunately, no damages and deaths were reported at these areas.[ citation needed ]
On the night of September 13, heavy rains and gusty winds started to affect the Ryukyu Islands. [51] As Talim ripped Okinawa, starting on September 13, strong winds uprooted trees and over 20,000 households reported power outages in Miyako. [52] A record 479.04 mm (18.860 in) of rain was observed on September 20 on Miyako-jima Airport for 24 hours. [52] [53] This is the heaviest rain the place suffered, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). [54] [55] [51]
As the typhoon made landfall on Kyushu on the morning of September 17, over 1,400 households in Miyazaki and Kumamoto were affected due to strong winds that downed electrical lines. [56] [57] [58] In the nearby Oita Prefecture, many rivers overflowed, affecting residents from the central to southern parts of the area. [59] [60] The subsequent flooding in urban areas of the prefecture have prompted its governor to issue a disaster relief request. [61] An iron bridge was also washed away at the area. [62] The typhoon also flooded the Tsukumi and Tokuura Rivers in Tsukumi City. [63] [60] There were also damages in Miyazaki Prefecture, including the a village in nearby Kagoshima. [64] On Tokyo, a scaffolding in a construction site collapsed, leading to a power outage of 2,700 households near the area. [65] On Saiki City and Tsukumi City in Oita Prefecture, some residents were trapped in their houses due to flash floods, which were immediately rescued by the authorities. [65] Five homes were entirely destroyed, 615 were partially destroyed, and 804 were partially damages, according to reports. [66]
The Saeki, Tsukumi, and Usuki railway stations of Nippō Main Line, all in Oita Prefecture, were covered in mud due to the floodings. [62] In addition, a large-scale landslide occurred on the Tokuura signal field while sediment inflow was seen near the place. [67] [62] However, no one was killed. [62] In addition, there was a coastal embarkment from the stations of Kaigantera until the end of the Takuta Station of the Shikoku Railway Company sustained damages. [68] The Yakuri and Kotodenshido stations of the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad has its parts collapsed. [69] There were also reports of runoffs in the stations of Kyoto Tango Railway. [62]
5 deaths were attributed to Talim. An 86-year-old woman was found dead on September 17, due to her house pounded by a landslide in Kagawa Prefecture, while on Kōchi Prefecture, a 60-year man drowned in his car, due to a swollen river, [60] and two bodies were recovered from a riverbank. [70] In Oita Prefecture, a 70-year man was recorded missing, before founding him in an unknown place. [71] [70] The last fatality of the storm was reported at Hokkaido, when another man, possibly in his 80s, was found dead in a beach. [72] 73 individuals were injured, in the other hand. [73]
Typhoon Xangsane, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Reming, was a typhoon that made landfall in the Philippines and Taiwan. The 30th named storm and 12th typhoon of the 2000 Pacific typhoon season. Xangsane made landfall in southern Luzon in the Philippines, on October 27. And then turned north - northeastward over the South China Sea. On October 29, Xangsane reached its peak intensity, with 10-minute sustained winds of 140 km/h (87 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 165 km/h (103 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 960 hPa (28 inHg). The storm paralleled the eastern coast of Taiwan, the next day. After leaving the vicinity of Taiwan, Xangsane started to weaken as it continued to move northeastward over the East China Sea and subsequently transitioned to an extratropical cyclone, midway between the eastern coast of China and the northern Okinawa Islands, on November 1. Xangsane was responsible for 187 casualties, including 83 possible indirect from the crash of Singapore Airlines Flight 006 on October 31, 2000.
The 2018 Pacific typhoon season was at the time, the costliest Pacific typhoon season on record, until the record was beaten by the following year. The season was well above-average, producing 29 storms, 13 typhoons, and 7 super typhoons. 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 2018, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Bolaven, developed on January 3, while the season's last named storm, Man-yi, dissipated on November 28. The season's first typhoon, Jelawat, reached typhoon status on March 29, and became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day.
Typhoon Bart, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Oniang, was a powerful and destructive typhoon that occurred during the 1999 Pacific typhoon season. It was the only super typhoon of that year. Bart reached "super typhoon" status on September 22, when it grew to comprise winds containing a force of 260 km/h (160 mph).
Typhoon Cora, also known as the 2nd Miyako-jima Typhoon in Japan, was a typhoon that hit the Ryūkyū Islands in 1966.
Typhoon Tess was a typhoon that caused great damage to Japan in September 1953 while Japan was still in the middle of post-war recovery. The name 'Typhoon Tess' has been attributed to eleven other tropical cyclones.
Typhoon Dujuan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Jenny, was the second most intense tropical cyclone of the Northwest Pacific Ocean in 2015 in terms of ten-minute maximum sustained winds, tied with Noul. The twenty-first named storm and the thirteenth typhoon of the 2015 Pacific typhoon season, Dujuan brought extremely powerful winds throughout the Yaeyama Islands and Taiwan in late September, causing 3 deaths in Taiwan. The typhoon also caused over ¥2.5 billion (US$392.9 million) damage in East China.
Typhoon Della, known in Japan as the 3rd Miyakojima Typhoon and in the Philippines as Typhoon Maring, was a typhoon that struck Miyakojima of Ryukyu Islands and Kyūshū Island in September 1968.
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.
Typhoon Jongdari was a strong, long-lived and erratic tropical cyclone that impacted Japan and East China in late July and early August 2018. Formed as the twelfth named storm of the 2018 typhoon season near Okinotorishima on July 24, Jongdari gradually intensified and developed into the fourth typhoon of the year on July 26. Influenced by an upper-level low and a subtropical ridge, Jongdari executed a rare counter-clockwise southeast of Japan on the next day. At that time, it also reached peak intensity. The typhoon made landfall in Kii Peninsula, over Mie Prefecture of Japan locally early on July 29.
Typhoon Jebi, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Maymay, was the costliest typhoon in Japan's history in terms of insured losses. Jebi formed from a tropical disturbance south-southwest of Wake Island on August 26 and became the twenty-first named storm of the 2018 Pacific typhoon season on August 27. Amid favorable environmental conditions, Jebi quickly strengthened into a typhoon on August 29 as it headed west and rapidly intensified as it passed the Northern Mariana Islands on August 30. Jebi reached its peak intensity as a Category 5-equivalent typhoon on August 31, with 10-minute sustained winds of 195 km/h (120 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 285 km/h (180 mph), and a minimum pressure of 915 hPa. Afterwards, Jebi began a slow weakening trend as it turned northwest, briefly passing through the Philippine Area of Responsibility on September 2. Jebi accelerated north-northeast towards Japan on September 3 as it interacted with the westerlies, and made landfalls over Shikoku and near Kobe early on September 4. Jebi quickly weakened over land and became an extratropical cyclone later that day over the Sea of Japan. Its remnants moved over the Russian Far East before dissipating on September 9.
Typhoon Trami, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Paeng, was the second typhoon to affect Japan within a month. The twenty-fourth tropical storm and tenth typhoon of the annual typhoon season, Trami developed from a low-pressure area southeast of Guam on September 20. It intensified into a tropical storm on the next day and intensified into a typhoon on September 22. Trami steadily intensified and reached its peak intensity late on September 24. On the following day, Trami slowed and drifted northward. It began to weaken due to upwelling. Trami accelerated and turned northeastward on September 29, before it struck Japan on the next day, and became extratropical on October 1. The extratropical remnants persisted for days until dissipated completely on October 8.
Typhoon Lekima, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Hanna, was the third costliest typhoon in Chinese history. The ninth named storm of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season, Lekima originated from a tropical depression that formed east of the Philippines on 30 July. It gradually organized, became a tropical storm, and was named on 4 August. Lekima intensified under favorable environmental conditions and peaked as a Category 4–equivalent Super typhoon. However, an eyewall replacement cycle caused the typhoon to weaken before it made landfall in Zhejiang early on 10 August, as a Category 2–equivalent typhoon. Lekima weakened subsequently while moving across Eastern China, and made its second landfall in Shandong on 11 August.
Typhoon Georgia was one of the more impactful typhoons that struck Japan, as well as one of the few observed tropical cyclones that made direct landfall in Russia as a tropical storm. A low pressure system formed in the vicinity of Guam on August 10 which formed Tropical Depression Fran, and a new low-level center formed from a fracture of a trough that split newly formed tropical depression in the midnight of August 12. The newly formed low level center was classified as a tropical storm and was named Georgia hours later by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The new tropical storm was tracked by Japan Meteorological Agency shortly afterwards and Georgia rapidly intensified into a typhoon. On the next day, Georgia further intensified after passing Chichi Jima and reached peak sustained winds of 110 knots (57 m/s) while quickly accelerating in the north-northwest direction before striking Chūbu region in Japan on evening of the same day as a weakening typhoon. After emerging on the Sea of Japan as a tropical storm on August 14, Georgia made landfall in Soviet Union as a tropical storm at the afternoon of the same day, before transforming into an extratropical storm quickly after landfall. Remnants of Georgia was last noted on Heilongjiang, China on August 16.
Typhoon Songda, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Chedeng, was the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide in 2011. It caused moderate damage in the Philippines when it paralleled the country to the east as a Category 5–equivalent super typhoon; it later affected Taiwan and Japan as a weakening system. The fourth tropical depression, second named storm and the first super typhoon of the 2011 Pacific typhoon season, Songda formed from a non-tropical low that was embedded from the Intertropical Convergence Zone on May 17. An area of low-pressure subsequently formed and became organized for the JTWC to issue a TCFA on the system and the JMA to issue advisories, before both agencies declared it a tropical storm, earning the name Songda. Under favorable conditions, Songda slowly intensified as it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, with the PAGASA naming it Chedeng on May 23. On the next day, the three agencies declared the system a typhoon before rapidly intensifying to a super typhoon over the Philippine Sea. As it entered an unfavorable environment for further strengthening, Songda slowly weakened as it passed near Taiwan, before becoming extratropical near Japan. The remnants of the system slowly moved to the northeast, before absorbing to another extratropical cyclone to the south of Alaska.
Typhoon Dinah was a tropical cyclone that brought heavy damages to Japan, while leaving 65 fatalities and 70 to be missing, all in that country alone. It is also one of the disasters that happened in the country during the Showa 27 era. The second typhoon of the 1952 Pacific typhoon season, Dinah was first mentioned in weather maps as a tropical depression to the east of Visayas. It gradually organized, becoming a tropical storm on June 21 as it skirted the northeastern Philippines, with the Fleet Weather Center naming it Dinah. It strengthened further to a minimal typhoon as it moved through the Nansei Islands on June 22, before reaching its peak intensity of 140 km/h, as estimated by the Fleet Center. It then weakened shortly, before passing near Shikoku on the next day, then making landfall through the southern part of the Kii Peninsula before gradually weakened further and started to undergo extratropical transition as it moved out of the country on June 24. It then became fully extratropical on the next day.
Typhoon Louise, known in Japan as the Akune Typhoon, was a deadly and destructive tropical cyclone that hit Japan in October 1945, soon after the cessation of World War II. It caused at least 377 deaths and another 74 missing persons, while leaving a wide swath of damage across the country.
Typhoon Gilda, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Deling was a destructive, deadly, costly and long-lived tropical cyclone that left over 145 confirmed deaths over Japan and South Korea, mostly due to torrential rainfall that induced landslides, all generated by the typhoon and its associated meiyu front. The eighth named storm and third typhoon of the 1974 Pacific typhoon season, the system was first noted by the China Meteorological Agency as an area of convection embedded on a trough, to the north of Enewetak Atoll on June 25. It was named Gilda on June 30 as it strengthened to a tropical storm. Under a favorable environment, it strengthened to a typhoon two days later as it moved northwestward. Another trough pulled Gilda poleward while changing less in intensity, until it intensified to a Category 2 typhoon as it battered the Ryukyu Islands at its peak. Increasing wind shear gradually weakened the system; however, it remained as a minimal typhoon until it passed through the southern tip of South Korea on July 6, where it weakened to a tropical storm. Colder waters in the Sea of Japan and high shear further degraded Gilda, until it transitioned to an extratropical low as it made landfall near Hokkaido on July 9. The remnants of the system briefly intensified near the Kuril Islands before weakening and dissipating on July 17 over the Sea of Okhotsk.
Typhoon In-fa, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Fabian, was a very large and costly tropical cyclone that brought record amounts of rainfall to China in July 2021, becoming the second-wettest tropical cyclone ever recorded in the country. It was also the first storm to impact the city of Shanghai since Typhoon Mitag of 2019. The ninth depression, sixth tropical storm and third typhoon of the 2021 Pacific typhoon season, the system was first noted by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center as an area of low pressure, located east of the Philippines on July 14. Favorable conditions helped the storm to intensify, becoming a tropical depression, two days later and a tropical storm on July 17, being assigned the name In-fa by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Located in a weak steering environment, the system struggled to organize under dry air and moderate wind shear before organizing further. It continued to move mostly westward, strengthening into a typhoon and deepening quickly. The storm struggled to organize itself significantly due to continuous dry air intrusions and its frequent motion changes. On July 21, it reached its peak intensity according to the JTWC with winds of 175 km/h (110 mph); the JMA estimated a lower numbers of 150 km/h (90 mph) on the system. Nevertheless, the system reached its minimum barometric pressure of 950 hPa (28.05 inHg), three days later after passing through the Ryukyu's. As the system entered the East China Sea, marginal conditions started to take toll on the system, with In-fa weakening steadily and slowly, until it made its consecutive landfalls over Putuo District of Zhoushan and Pinghu on July 25 and 26, respectively, as a tropical storm. For the next couple of days, the storm slowly moved inland while gradually weakening, before turning northward on July 29. Later that day, In-fa weakened into a remnant low over northern China. The remnants continued their northward trek for another couple of days, before dissipating near North Korea on July 31.
Tropical Storm Lupit, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Huaning, was a tropical cyclone that affected Hong Kong and Macau, while also impacting the Guangdong and Fujian provinces in Mainland China, Taiwan and Japan in early-August 2021. The ninth named storm of the 2021 Pacific typhoon season, the system was first tracked as a tropical depression by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) as a tropical depression over Zhanjiang. It then moved east-northeastward, affecting Hong Kong and Macau before strengthening to a tropical storm, whereas it was named Lupit. On August 5, as it neared the coast of Guangdong Province, it slightly intensified before the storm made two consecutive landfalls over Nan'ao County in Guangdong and Dongshan County in Fujian on that day. It then turned towards Taiwan before striking the northern part of the country. After lashing the area with torrential rainfall that led to numerous landslides and unknown damages, it approached and made two consecutive landfalls at mainland Japan before entering the Sea of Japan, in where it became extratropical.
