When Typhoon Kong-Rey trembled in the Pacific, meteorologists watched carefully and lifted the eyebrows to the mere size of the eye.
This impressive storm, which caught the attention of weather and public experts, is on a direct journey to Tai -wan. Thanks to the strength to release intense winds and heavy rainfall represents Cong-Rey a significant threat, which leads to a discussion of its possible impact on the region.
The meteorologist pointed to the mere size of the Typhoon Kong-Rey eye when the massive storm approached the Taiwan on Wednesday.
On Wednesday afternoon, Typhoon Kong-Rey had the maximum permanent winds of 130 km / h according to the Zoom Earth website. The storm was slightly weakened since Tuesday evening when it was categorized as a super typhoon with a maximum permanent wind of 150 mph, which corresponds to Hurricane category 4. In Kaohsiung evaluates.
On Tuesday evening, meteorologist Noah Bergren from Wofl in Orlando, Florida, commented on the size of the storm.
“Super Typhoon Kong-Rey is easily one of the biggest eyes in the large tropical system you will ever see on Earth,” Bergren said on X (formerly Twitter). “The thing is absolutely massive.”
Senior meteorologist Accuweather Alan Repert told Newsweek that having a large eye does not necessarily mean anything about the strength of the storm. “That means the wind with him is further from the center than if it were a smaller eye,” he said. “It does not necessarily have any main defining characteristics of the storm.” Repert added that a stronger storm, which was probably longer, usually has a wider eye than a newer storm.
Most spaghetti-or-computer models illustrate the potential storm path-they realize Kong-Rey Landfall on the south-east coast of Taiwan and cut over the island before appearing with a maximum permanent wind of around 75 mph. The models suggest that the typhoon will exhibit the northeast outflow from China, which will bring it to the sea of eastern China.
The power of Kong-Rey is atypical for this time of year, reported The New York Times, adding that Typhoon is expected to be the equivalent of category 4 hurricane.
Repert warned that strong winds up to 140 km / h with higher gusts could hit South Tai -wan, although the storm is expected to weaken as it moves above the island.
The Accuweather report warned against “significant structural damage, landslides and landslides” because it is expected that Taiwan is expected to plunge up to 3 feet of rain. The storm could either maintain its intensity or strengthen before it soon reaches Landfall on Thursday.
Eastern China and Japan also expect heavy rain, as the storm progresses. Typhoon is classified as a heavy tropical cyclone that occurs in the northwest Pacific. Hurricane is a term for the same type of storm in the Northeast Pacific and the North Atlantic. Outside these regions, the storms are called tropical cyclones.
The meteorologist emphasized the impressive size of the Typhoon Kong-Rey eye when the mighty storm approached the Taiwan on Wednesday.
On Wednesday afternoon, Typhoon Kong-Rey boasted a maximum permanent wind of 130 km / h, as stated by Zoom Earth. The storm slightly weakened since Tuesday evening, when it was classified as a super typhoon with a maximum permanent wind of 150 MPH, comparable to category 4. The forecasts predict that Typhoon Kong-Rey will continue to weaken before it will get to Landfall soon on Thursday morning.
On Tuesday evening, a meteorologist Noah Bergren from Wofl, Orlando, Florida, commented on the size of the storm.
“Super Typhoon Kong-Rey contains one of the largest eyes in the important tropical system you will ever be on the ground,” Bergren said on X (formerly Twitter). “It’s absolutely massive.”
Accuweather Senior Meteorologist Alan Repert explained to Newsweek that having a large eye does not necessarily indicate anything about the storm strength. “It simply means that the winds are from the center further than they would be with a smaller eye,” he said. “He does not define his characteristics of the storm.” Repert also mentioned that stronger, longer -term storms usually have a wider eye than a newer storm.
Most spaghetti models that illustrate the potential storm paths indicate that the Cong-Rey creates a landfall on the Taiwanese southeast coast and passes the island before it appears with a maximum permanent wind of about 75 million.
The power of Kong-Rey is unusual for this time of year, according to the New York Times, which said it is expected that Typhoon would become like a hurricane category 4.
Repert warned that South Tai -Wan can experience strong winds up to 140 km / h, with even higher gusts, although the storm is expected to weaken as it passes through the island.
The Accuweather report warned the potential “significant structural damage, landslides and landslides” against the storm, with the expected up to 3 feet of rain on Tai -wan. The storm can either maintain its intensity or strengthen the Landfall soon on Thursday.
Eastern China and Japan also expect strong rainfall, as the storm progresses. Typhoon is classified as a heavy tropical cyclone in the Northwest Pacific, while the same type of storm is referred to as a hurricane in the northeastern Pacific and northern Atlantic. In other regions, these storms are marked as tropical cyclones.
In short, Typhoon Kong-Rey is an important weather event that is characterized by its huge eye and strong wind that aroused fears as Taiwan approaches. Although it has been slightly weakened since it has been classified as a super typhoon, the forecasts suggest that it can still cause considerable damage to Landfall, including strong winds and strong precipitation. The potential for mud and structural damage is serious risks, especially on the southern Tai -wan. As the storm progresses, neighboring regions like Eastern China and Japan should also prepare for heavy rain. It will be decisive to follow and readiness as the situation develops, emphasizing the need for consciousness during this unusual season of typhoon.
