Typhoon Lucy Route Analysis
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Lucy (196515) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—N转—NE移”的抛物线型轨迹. formed初期 (8月14日至16日) , 系统自173.4°E附近 toward NW direction快速Moving, 纬度从11.8°N迅速提升至17.2°N, 经度W移约6.7度, 显示其受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响显著. 8月17日至19日期间, 路径逐渐由NW转 toward 正N, 并在144°E附近达到最N端的纬度转折点前奏. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 全程未Landfall任何land, 始终在洋面上活动. 8月20日后, 随着纬度突破28°N, 路径明显转 toward NE, 最终 at 8月26日在40.1°N, 161°E附近减弱消散. 整个Moving过程平滑, 无明显打转或停滞现象, 总历时约11天半, 跨越了从热带至温带的广阔海域.
Intensity Evolution Analysis
Lucy experienced a full life cycle, with rapidly changing intensity and an extremely high peak. It began as a tropical depression, then rapidly intensified to a severe tropical storm and typhoon within 48 hours. From the evening of August 17 to the morning of August 19 was its explosive intensification period: pressure plummeted from 986 hPa to 945 hPa, while maximum wind speed surged from 45 m/s to 70 m/s, reaching super typhoon status. It maintained its peak intensity for an extended period, remaining a super typhoon with wind speeds of at least 55 m/s for nearly three days from 08:00 on August 19 to 14:00 on August 21, with minimum central pressure reaching 944 hPa. After August 22, as the system moved into higher latitudes and encountered colder sea water and vertical wind shear, its intensity began to decline steadily, rapidly weakening from a severe typhoon to a tropical storm. It weakened into a tropical depression on the evening of August 23 and eventually dissipated during extratropical transition.
Same-Name Comparison
Within the sequence of storms named Lucy, the 1965 typhoon had moderately high to high intensity. Compared with the super typhoons of 1971 (912 hPa) and 1977 (917 hPa), Lucy's peak central pressure of 944 hPa was slightly higher and its intensity somewhat weaker. However, its intensity was comparable to that of Lucy in 1968 (941 hPa), and both were highly destructive super typhoons. By contrast, Lucy in 1974 reached only severe tropical storm status (990 hPa), far weaker than the 1965 system. The name Lucy has repeatedly been used for intense typhoons. Although the 1965 case was not the strongest in historical records, its prolonged maintenance of super typhoon intensity remains notable.

FAQ
Lucy was the 1965 Typhoon.
The identifier 196515 for Typhoon Lucy is the historical numbering system continued by the CMA, representing the 15th typhoon of 1965. Its international name was LUCY. The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific did not begin until 1981. Before then, individual agencies used their own numbering systems, so the identifiers assigned by the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China's meteorological authorities for the same typhoon may differ and cannot be compared directly.
Where does the track data for Typhoon Lucy come from?
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
What is the highest level of Typhoon Lucy?
Typhoon Lucy peak intensity is Super Typhoon, max wind 70m/s, minimum central pressure 944 hPa.
Typhoon Lucy Landfall?
According to records, Typhoon Lucy is not in our coastal Landfall.
Where can I view typhoon Lucy's live track map?
