What are the characteristics of Typhoon Hato?

1. "Hato" is worthy of its name. Although its intensity is not inferior to other typhoons, it is indeed smaller. Taking the radius of a Category 12 wind circle as an example, "Hato" is only 40 to 50 kilometers. This makes it more difficult for forecasters to judge its intensity changes. Because of its small size, the strong winds brought by "Hato" cannot be observed by ground weather stations until before landing.

2. The intensity is rapidly increasing in offshore areas. At 8 a.m. on the 22nd, it took almost two days for "Hato" to upgrade from tropical storm level to severe tropical storm level; at 3 p.m. on the 22nd, it quickly upgraded to typhoon level; at 7 a.m. on the 23rd, As it gets closer to the mainland of my country, it has upgraded to a strong typhoon level. In less than 24 hours, "Hato" jumped two levels in a row, "transforming" from severe tropical storm level to severe typhoon level.

3. Again, it is expected that "Hato" will be at its peak intensity when it lands in my country. For "Hato", whether it is vertical wind shear conditions or high-level dual-channel outflow conditions, the offshore environment is very conducive to its development and enhancement. Therefore, at sea where there are no ground conditions to increase resistance, "Hato" continues to strengthen. It is not until after landing that its strength gradually weakens under the influence of terrain.
