    Typhoon Haiyan (known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda) is currently an extremely strong tropical cyclone crossing the central Philippines. Haiyan, which means petrel in Chinese (海燕), is one of the most intense tropical cyclones on record. Haiyan is the second storm which pressure in millibars is below 900 since Typhoon Megi in 2010.


    Meteorological history[edit]

    Storm path
    Early on November 2, a tropical disturbance formed west of Kosrae, a state of the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the low-pressure area to a tropical depression early on November 3.[1][2] Owing to a consolidating low-level circulation center with building deep convection, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center upgraded the system to a tropical depression before noon, shortly after issuing a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert.[3][4] Late on the same day, the JMA started to issue tropical cyclone advisories to the tropical depression, before the agency even upgraded it to a tropical storm and named it Haiyan at 00:00 UTC on November 4;[5][6] Meanwhile, the JTWC also upgraded it to a tropical storm, when the expansive system was steadily consolidating in an area of weak to moderate vertical wind shear and tracking westward along the southern periphery of the subtropical ridge.[7] Right after the JMA upgraded Haiyan to a severe tropical storm early on November 5, the JTWC upgraded the rapidly consolidating system to a typhoon, for a central dense overcast and a microwave eye feature with tightly curved banding.[8][9] Eighteen hours later, the JMA upgraded Haiyan to a typhoon, when it has formed a pinhole eye and started to explosively intensify.[10][11]
    For continuing rapidly deepening because of near-radial outflow enhanced by the TUTT positioned to the northeast, the JTWC upgraded Haiyan to a super typhoon early on November 6.[12] Later, the eye of the typhoon passed over the island of Kayangel in Palau.[13]

    Preparations[edit]

    Micronesia and Palau[edit]

    Upon JTWC’s declaration of Tropical Depression 31W on November 3, a tropical storm warning was issued for Chuuk Lagoon, Losap, and Poluwat in the Federated States of Micronesia. Further west, Faraulep, Satawal, and Woleai, were placed under a typhoon watch while Fananu and Ulul were placed under a tropical storm watch.[14] The following day, the tropical storm warning expanded to include Satawal while a typhoon warning was issued for Woleai.[15] Much of Yap State while the islands of Koror and Kayangel in Palau were placed under a typhoon watch later on November 4.[16] The government issued a mandatory evacuation for Kayangel, and although most residents ignored the warning, they all survived the storm.[13] As Haiyan progressed westward, the easternmost advisories were gradually discontinued.[17] As Haiyan intensified into a typhoon on November 5, warnings were raised across Palau and Yap State.[18][19] Government offices in Melekeok were used an evacuation building for Palau.[20] Despite mandatory evacuation orders, most residents on Kayangel remained on the island and rode out the typhoon.[21]

    Philippines[edit]

    Officials placed police officers in the Bicol region ahead of the storm.[22] In the provinces of Samar and Leyte, classes were canceled, and residents in flood and landslide-prone areas were forced to evacuate.[23] Some of the storm-threatened areas were affected by an earlier earthquake in Bohol.[24] The Philippine President requested the military to deploy planes and helicopters to the region expected to be affected.[25] As Haiyan is moving very fast, PAGASA raised signal warnings to different places on the country. About 60 provinces including its capital Metro Manila hoisted the said warnings. [26]

    Impact[edit]

    On Kayangel in Palau, a high storm surge damaged several houses,[20] while strong winds downed trees.[13] Despite residents' refusal to evacuate, no fatalities or major injuries took place on the island. Helicopters were flown to the island to survey damage and provide relief supplies. The government planned to evacuate those who were left homeless from the island.[21] Koror, Babeldaob and Kayangel each lost access to water and power. Damage in Koror was minor due to the center of the typhoon passing to the north,[13] although there was flooding that covered a causeway. On the northern end of Babeldaob, Haiyan damaged schools and buildings.[20]

    Records[edit]

    The JMA analyzed that the ten-minute maximum sustained winds of Typhoon Haiyan at 230 km/h (145 mph), making it the second most intense tropical cyclone in the Northwest Pacific Ocean on record along with Bess in 1982 and Megi in 2010, only after Tip in 1979.[27] The JTWC analyzed that Haiyan was the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide since reliable records began, with one-minute maximum sustained winds estimated at 315 km/h (195 mph) with gusts up to 378 km/h(235 mph).[28] Haiyan’s atmospheric pressure estimated by the JMA was 895 hPa (26.43 inHg), the lowest since Megi in 2010.[29]
