Part of the 2018 Pacific typhoon season

Typhoon Jongdari was a strong, long-lived and erratic

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

Typhoon Lionrock in 2016.[1]

triangle Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depression

A tropical disturbance formed southeast of Guam on July 19 and tracked westward steadily.[2] After issuing a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on July 21, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) upgraded the system to a tropical depression early on July 22, although the location of its low-level circulation center was not clear.[3] The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), however, kept reporting it as a low-pressure area until it was upgraded to a tropical depression late on July 23.[4] After the slow consolidation for several days, the system was upgraded to a tropical storm near Okinotorishima at around 18:00 on July 24 by agencies such as JMA and JTWC, with an international name Jongdari.[5][6] A microwave imagery revealed a low-level forming eyewall next day, indicating a consolidating system. After JMA upgraded Jongdari to a severe tropical storm at noon,[7] the system accelerated northeastward under the influence of a near-equatorial ridge to the south.[8]

On July 26, as Jongdari started to interact with an upper-level

subtropical ridge to the northeast, Jongdari executed a rare counter-clockwise turn to the southeast of Japan.[12]

Jongdari began to be inundated by

Jinshan District, Shanghai.[17]
Jongdari rapidly weakened after landfall, dissipating on the next day.

Impact

Japan

24 people were injured when the typhoon hit Japan.

Niigata prefecture recorded temperatures close to 40 °C (104 °F).[18] Agricultural damage in Chiba and Aichi Prefecture were about JP¥1.59 billion (US$14.3 million).[19][20] Preliminary industry loss were estimated between US$1.4 and 2 billion.[21]

China

Total damages from Jongdari were about CN¥420 million (US$61.5 million).[22]
