Typhoon Maliksi trajectory analysis
Track and Movement Characteristics
The life cycle of Typhoon Maliksi (202402) began over the southern waters, with its overall track showing a clear NNE trend. From its initial position at 17:00 on May 30 (17.4°N, 112.2°E) to 11:00 on May 31, the system moved slowly toward the NW, with longitude shifting westward from 112.2°E to 111.9°E and latitude increasing to 20.3°N. Notably, between 11:00 and 19:00 on May 31, the typhoon’s center remained near (20.3°N-20.5°N, 111.9°E), indicating a brief period of stagnation or looping before landfall.
Subsequently, the system accelerated toward the northeast. Starting from 21:00 on May 31, its longitude shifted eastward from 111.4°E to 112.6°E, while its latitude continued northward to 23.3°N. This change in direction indicated a significant shift in the steering flow, driving it to make final landfall on the coast of Yangxi County, Yangjiang City, Guangdong, at 00:55 on June 1. After landfall, the typhoon continued moving northeast inland until it weakened and dissipated by 14:00 on June 1.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Regarding intensity changes, Maliksi exhibited a pattern of peaking immediately after formation and weakening rapidly after landfall. The system remained a tropical depression from May 30 to the morning of May 31, with pressure stable at 1000 hPa and maximum winds of 15 m/s. At 15:00 on May 31, it intensified into a tropical storm, reaching its peak intensity with a minimum pressure of 998 hPa and maximum winds increasing to 18 m/s. This peak lasted only about 10 hours. As the system approached the coast and made landfall, its intensity dropped quickly. By 05:00 on June 1, approximately 4 hours after landfall, it had downgraded to a tropical depression, with wind speeds falling back to 15 m/s and pressure rising to 1000 hPa. By 14:00, wind speeds further decreased to 13 m/s, pressure rose to 1002 hPa, and the structure completely disintegrated.
The 19th Typhoon “Maliksi” peaked at Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 995hPa, slightly strong at this year; while the 5th Typhoon “Maliksi” reached Severe Tropical Storm level, minimum pressure low to 980hPa, intensity significantly high at 2024 system.
