Typhoon Saudel trajectory analysis
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon “Saudel” (202618) 生命史长达15天, 整体路径呈现典型的NW行后折 toward SW的复杂轨迹. formed初期, 系统自Philippines以E洋面 (153.9°E) toward NW direction快速Moving, 纬度从8.2°N迅速攀升至28.6°N, 经度W移超过27个经度, 显示出受副热带高压引导气流强劲的特征. 在8月27日至28日期间, Typhoon 中心位 at Zhejiangcoastal 附近时出现显著的路径转折. 此前系统维持NW或WMoving, 但在8月28日连续两次LandfallZhejiangTaizhou玉环及Wenzhou龙湾后, 路径转为SW direction, 深入内陆并 weakened into Tropical Depression. 随后, 残余环流在S海N部重新组织, at 9月初再次增强为Tropical Storm, 并 toward NE direction回旋, 最终 at 9月3日在Fujian漳州漳浦古雷coastal 第三次Landfall. 这种“NW-SW-NE”的S型多折线路径, 反映了其在不同天气系统引导下的复杂动力过程.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
The typhoon's intensity changed dramatically, going through a complete cycle of formation, rapid intensification, decay, regeneration, and dissipation. In just four days from August 19 to 23, the pressure fell sharply from 998hPa to 935hPa, while the max wind surged from 18m/s to 52m/s, reaching super typhoon strength and demonstrating an exceptionally rapid intensification rate. After its peak, the intensity gradually fluctuated and weakened as it moved northward and approached land, but it briefly intensified again near the Zhejiang coast on the evening of August 27, with wind speed rising to 45m/s. The intensity collapsed rapidly after the first landfall, but notably, its residual cloud mass redeveloped into a tropical storm after September 1 and maintained a relatively stable, low-intensity structure before its September 3 landfall.
Compared with Typhoon Saudel, the 17th typhoon of 2020, the 2026 version was significantly stronger. The 2020 typhoon peaked only at typhoon strength, with a minimum central pressure of 965hPa, while the 2026 version reached super typhoon strength, with the minimum central pressure 30hPa lower and max wind about 12m/s higher, based on intensity estimates. In addition, the 2026 Saudel made three landfalls and had a longer lifespan, with both a more complex track and a broader area of impact than the typhoon of the same name in 2020.
