Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: For most of 2022, the world’s ocean basins have been relatively quiet and free of tropical cyclones. This week, Super Typhoon Hinnamnor shattered the calm, spinning up to become the first Category 5 cyclone on Earth in 2022 on August 30. The storm has reached maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (257 km/h) on both August 30 and again on August 31 as it spun over the Western Pacific Ocean. The path of the storm has been erratic and the potential for landfall has been unclear, but landfall over South Korea appears likely.
On September 1, 2022, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of Hinnamnor. Though the typhoon appeared to be bearing down on Taiwan in the image, it had actually started to turn north and away from the island. On September 1, near the time the MODIS image was acquired, the JTWC advised that Hinnamnor carried maximum sustained winds of about 140 mph (220 km/h) with gusts up to 161 mph (259 km/h). The storm was approximately 373 miles (600 km) south of Okinawa. By the evening of September 2, winds had slowed to 90 mph (150 km/h), with gusts to 115 mph (187 km/h). The storm had only moved about 30 miles (50 km). At 0300 UTC on September 4 (11:00 p.m. EDT September 3), the JTWC advised that Typhoon Hinnamnor’s maximum sustained winds had dropped to 118 mph (190 km/h) with gusts up to 150 mph (241 km/h). That maximum sustained winds place Hinnamnor at Category 3 strength on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. The storm was located about 206 miles (331.5 km) west of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan and was tracking northward at 11.5 mph (17 km/h). The JWTC expects Typhoon Hinnamnor to intensify over the next 12 hours as the large storm passes over the warm waters of the East China Sea, reaching about 132 mph (212 km/h) (Category 4) at that time. The current forecast has Typhoon Hinnamnor making landfall on the coast of South Korea, most likely on September 6 and also likely on a weakening trend. |
