2018 Pacific Typhoon Season
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 twenty-nine storms (including one that crossed over from the Eastern/Central Pacific), thirteen typhoons, seven super typhoons and six Category 5 tropical cyclones. The season ran throughout 2018, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and November. 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. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, to the north of the equator between 100°E and the 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones, which can ofte ...

Typhoon Jongdari
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. Jongdari is one of the four Pacific tropical cyclones since 1951 that approached Honshu on a westward trajectory; the others were Typhoon Viola in 1966, Tropical Storm Ben in 1983, and Typhoon Lionrock in 2016.

Tropical Depression Josie
Tropical Depression Josie was a weak tropical system that impacted the Philippine archipelago of Luzon in late-July 2018, bringing widespread flooding. The tropical depression was classified in the South China Sea on July 20, and steadily moved eastward while gradually intensifying. The storm reached its peak intensity of 1-minute sustained winds of 65 km/h (40 mph) while nearing the northern tip of the Ilocos Region. By July 22, the system moved northward and rapidly weakened. The system was last noted on July 23 to the northeast of Taiwan. While a relatively weak system, Josie was known for actively enhancing the southwest monsoon in Luzon, which was already prevailing since the passages of Son-tinh and Ampil just a few days prior. The monsoon rains, along with Josie, resulted in ₱4.66 billion (US$87.4 million) worth of damages in the country, while also killing a total of 16 people. Despite the high economic toll, the name ''Josie'' was not retired from the local naming l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
