Super Typhoon Goni is forecast to weaken upon landing in the Philippines, but is still capable of causing massive damage.
Super Typhoon Goni leveled up to become the strongest storm on earth in 2020, a powerful grade 5 storm on the level of the Atlantic typhoon with a wind force of 289 km / h passing through the eastern waters from the Philippines on October 30.
Hurricane Goni is expected to make landfall on the island of Luzon in the Philippines at 1.11 as a Category 4 hurricane and pass very close to Manila with a magnitude of about 1 or more, according to Yale Climate Connections.
Typhoon Goni rose extremely fast, starting on October 28, from a tropical depression of approximately 30 miles per hour to a super typhoon with winds of up to 280 miles per hour in 54 hours.
According to Sam Lillo, there are only 5 hurricanes in the global database of tropical storms that increased to 145 km / h in 54 hours or less than 54 hours, including: Hurricane Vera in 1959 in the Pacific Northwest; Typhoon Linda in 1997 in the Northeast Pacific; Typhoon Zoe 2002 in the Southeast Pacific; Hurricane Wilma in 2005 in the Atlantic and Hurricane Patricia in 2015 in the Northeast Pacific.
Typhoon Goni took advantage of near-ideal conditions to level up from October 29-30 and is expected to continue through October 31. After that, the storm would weaken.
The official forecast from the US General Typhoon Warning Center at 11am on October 30 states that Typhoon Goni will be a Category 4 hurricane when it hits Luzon, Philippines, at 1.11am. Goni is a relatively small storm and making landfall would quickly weaken the storm. However, Typhoon Goni could get close enough to hit the metropolitan area of Manila. The strong winds from a Category 1 storm with winds of around 136 km / h are strong enough to cause major disasters when passing through cities like Manila.
The most recent Hurricane Goni equivalent to passing through Manila was Typhoon Rammasun 2014 (known locally as Glenda), which traveled about 40 km south of Manila. This is the third most damaging storm in the history of the Philippines, with a loss of 885 million dollars, causing 106 people in the Philippines and losing 90% of the power of Manila.
After hitting Luzon, Typhoon Goni enters the South China Sea, with factors such as strong winds, drier air and cooler sea surfaces, Yale Climate Connections said. Typhoon Goni is expected to land in Vietnam on April 4 as a tropical storm.
Super Typhoon Goni along with Typhoon Amphan (257 km / h winds in the northern Indian Ocean in May) and Hurricane Harold (265 km / h winds in the Southeast Pacific in April) are among the three classified storms . level 5 on earth in 2020.
Earth averages 5.3 Category 5 hurricanes per year between 1990 and 2019, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Hurricane Center and Warning Center. Typhoon Chung of the United States Navy.
