On the morning of April 10, from the Fengyun No. 4 high-definition visible light satellite cloud map, today's central and eastern parts of the mainland continue to maintain a sunny atmosphere, many places in the afternoon temperature further climbed, and even some stations rose to more than 35 degrees, for the mainland, today many places have indeed a lot of summer taste. Not only on land, but also in the western Pacific Ocean, in fact, it also has a summer feeling - satellite cloud maps can also see that the tropical clouds in the western Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea are surging, showing a strong signal that typhoons are active.
On the morning of April 10, as the Japan Meteorological Agency announced the naming of the low-pressure system near the Philippine Islands as Typhoon Catfish No. 2 of the year, it was announced that a double typhoon dance had formed in the western Pacific Ocean. The satellite cloud map of Typhoon Embryo 96W in the South China Sea, Typhoon Catfish No. 2 near the Philippine Islands, and Typhoon Maleka further east, are very chaotic, which is the first April double typhoon since 2015. At present, the typhoon embryo 96W in the South China Sea has begun to be torn apart by Typhoon Catfish No. 2, announcing that it is about to be swallowed up by Typhoon Catfish. But the cloud systems of Typhoon Catfish and Typhoon Maleka are about to be connected, and it may be eaten by the approaching Typhoon Maleka. Such a thrilling multiple Fujiwara effect is unique since meteorological records were recorded in April.
Among them, Typhoon Maleka No. 1 had some special conditions in the development process last night and this morning - a large number of convective clouds near the center of Typhoon Maleka erupted in large numbers, the temperature of the genting dropped sharply, and by the early morning of April 10, there had been a large range of extremely low genting temperature areas of -80 degrees or less near the center, and even some areas reached -90 degrees white, and the local area was white and black, which meant a low temperature of near -100 degrees.
Genting temperature as the name suggests is the temperature at the top of the cloud layer, due to the strong updraft inside the typhoon, the towering convection tower can be pushed to the upper part of the troposphere, so the genting temperature can drop to a very low level, but the extremely low genting temperature close to -100 degrees Is still rare, which shows that the convection in the center of Typhoon Maleka is extremely strong and has developed to a relatively rare level. Some netizens have to ask: Is Typhoon Maleka going to develop into a super typhoon?
Although the extremely low genting temperature means its strong internal updraft, typhoon Maleka is actually in a bad state in a relatively poor development environment. The Central Meteorological Observatory's forecast suggests that it will take at least 2-3 days to develop to a strong typhoon level.
This still shows that the climate is indeed abnormal - the unusually strong updraft requires sufficient seawater heat and water vapor supply as a background, which is very abnormal in April, and the current double typhoon dance, coupled with the fact that the typhoon embryo in the South China Sea is a three-storm dance, is a rare in April history.
