Part of the 2024 Pacific typhoon season

Typhoon Kong-rey, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Leon, was a powerful tropical cyclone which impacted Taiwan and the Philippines in late October and early November 2024. Kong-rey was the first typhoon in Taiwan's history to make landfall after mid-October and the largest storm to strike since Typhoon Herb in 1996.

The twenty-first named storm and the third super typhoon of the annual typhoon season, Kong-rey developed from a weak exposed low-level circulation located west-northwest of Guam. On October 25, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the system to a tropical storm named Kong-rey, and on October 28, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) classified it as a minimal typhoon before the JMA followed suit, citing its improved structure, which featured convective banding completely wrapping around the circulation and becoming more symmetric. On October 30, the JTWC reported that the system had peaked as a Category 4-equivalent super typhoon, with 1-minute sustained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph). The JMA noted that Kong-rey reached its maximum strength with 10-minute sustained winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) and a central pressure of 925 hPa (27.32 inHg). After reaching its peak intensity, Kong-rey began an eyewall replacement cycle, and satellite imagery showed a large eye and rapidly rotating features along the inner edge of the eyewall. The following day, Kong-rey completed the eyewall replacement cycle as it approached Taiwan from the southeast, and passed close to Batanes and the Orchid Island before making landfall in Chenggong, Taitung. After making landfall, the eye quickly became cloud-filled, exhibiting deteriorating convective bands and eyewall structure, while surface observations from Taitung recorded sustained winds of 104 km/h (64 mph). It was later reemerged over the Taiwan Strait with a weakened convective structure, and its rapid movement across Taiwan may be attributed to a lee-side jump. It moved along the eastern coast of China as it interacted with a strong frontal system while beginning its extratropical transition. By November 1, the JMA reported that Kong-rey had transitioned into an extratropical low, as it moved north-northeastward along the northwestern periphery of a mid-level subtropical high.

Authorities advised evacuations in Batangas, which was devastated by Tropical Storm Trami the previous week. PAGASA issued Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals for various areas in the Philippines. In Taiwan, classes were suspended in Taitung County, and multiple flights and trips were also canceled. The Central Weather Administration (CWA) later released its first land warning for the storm on October 30, covering Taitung County and the Hengchun Peninsula. Heavy rain advisories were issued by the CWA, with torrential rain warnings in Yilan County and Hualien County. Overall, Kong-rey was responsible for three deaths, with four people reported missing and 515 others injured, causing approximately US$8.86 million in damages.

The origins of Typhoon Kong-rey can be traced back to October 22, when the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) started monitoring a weak exposed low-level circulation at 14°54′N 141°24′E / 14.9°N 141.4°E / 14.9; 141.4, about 394 km (245 mi) west-northwest of Guam. Satellite imagery revealed limited deep convection primarily in the eastern and northern quadrants, while two disturbances near 97W and 98W interacted within a complex steering environment, with 98W moving poleward and being absorbed by 97W.[1] The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) designated the disturbance as a low-pressure area the following day,[2] and on October 24, it was upgraded to a tropical depression.[3] At 03:00 UTC on the same day, the JTWC issued a tropical cyclone formation alert, indicating that the environment was generally favorable for tropical cyclogenesis, with warm sea surface temperatures of 30 °C (86 °F), low vertical wind shear, and good radial outflow.[4]

At 00:00 UTC on October 25, the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm named Kong-rey,[5] which the JTWC later designated as 23W, featuring a partially obscured circulation center and a deep band of convection on its eastern and northern sides.[6] Kong-rey exhibited a pronounced asymmetrical circulation with fragmented and disorganized convection as it moved northwestward along the southwestern edge of a mid-level subtropical high,[7][8] while microwave imaging revealed curved convective bands concentrated in the western semicircle, with shallow bands tightly wrapping around a ragged circulation center.[9] At 19:30 PHT (11:30 UTC) on October 26, Kong-rey entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility and was given the name Leon by PAGASA.[10] Kong-rey exhibited a fully exposed circulation center surrounded by persistent convection in the southwestern quadrant, supported by moderate westward outflow, while spiral bands of deep convection were located to the north;[11] satellite imagery revealed two separate low-level circulation centers rotating around a central point at 16°42′N 132°00′E / 16.7°N 132.0°E / 16.7; 132.0, which eventually merged into a single, better-organized low-level circulation center characterized by broad banding over the western semicircle.[12] As it moved west-southwestward along the southeastern periphery, the system displayed strong equatorward flow and improving poleward outflow, prompting the JMA to upgrade it to a severe tropical storm at 00:00 UTC on October 27.[13][14] Early the next day, the JTWC upgraded the storm to a minimal typhoon before the JMA followed suit,[15] which noted an improved structure with convective banding fully wrapping around the circulation and achieving a more symmetric shape;[16] the typhoon also developed a large, ragged eye, characterized by a cloud-filled structure measuring 52 miles (83 km) in diameter.[17][18]

On October 30, the JTWC reported that the system had peaked as a Category 4-equivalent super typhoon after Kong-rey attained 1-minute sustained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph),[19] while the JMA indicated that Kong-rey reached its peak intensity with 10-minute sustained winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) and a central pressure of 925 hPa (27.32 inHg).[20] After reaching its peak intensity, Kong-rey began an eyewall replacement cycle,[21][22] with satellite imagery revealing a large eye and rapidly rotating features along the inner edge of the eyewall while it moved northwestward along its southwestern edge.[23] The typhoon has a distinct and highly symmetrical eye measuring 46 miles (74 km) in diameter, while microwave imaging reveals a double concentric eyewall structure.[24] Kong-rey completed the eyewall replacement cycle shortly afterward,[25] resulting in a ragged but relatively symmetrical eye feature as the typhoon approached Taiwan from the southeast and passed close to Batanes and the Orchid Island.[26][27] The following day at 1:40 p.m. local time, Kong-rey made landfall in Chenggong, Taitung in eastern Taiwan. This made Kong-rey the first typhoon in Taiwan's history to make landfall after mid-October,[28] and it was the largest storm to hit since Typhoon Herb in 1996.[29] After making landfall, the eye quickly became cloud-filled, exhibiting deteriorating convective bands and eyewall structure, while surface observations from Taitung recorded sustained winds of 104 km/h (64 mph).[30] It was later reemerged over the Taiwan Strait with a weakened convective structure, and its rapid movement across Taiwan may be attributed to a lee-side jump.[31] It moved along the eastern coast of China as it interacted with a strong frontal system while beginning its extratropical transition.[32] By 12:00 UTC on November 1, the JMA reported that Kong-rey had transitioned into an extratropical low, as it moved north-northeastward along the northwestern periphery of a mid-level subtropical high.[33][34]

Highest Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal issued by the PAGASA for Kong-rey (Leon)

PAGASA indicated that residents in the northern and northeastern parts of Luzon can expect rain on Halloween and All Saints' Day due to the storm.[35] Early on October 27, PAGASA issued Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 to portions of Cagayan, Isabela, and Catanduanes.[36] The next day, PAGASA included the entirety of Batanes, Ilocos Norte, Abra, Apayao, and Kalinga. PAGASA also included the entirety of Cagayan (including Babuyan Islands); Camarines Norte; Ifugao; Isabela; La Union; Mountain Province; Nueva Vizcaya, with portions of Quirino; Aurora; Benguet; Albay; Camarines Sur; Sorsogon; Northern Samar; and Eastern Samar.[37] Later that evening, PAGASA included the entirety of Quirino and Aurora.[38] On October 29, the entirety of Benguet was included.[39] On the same day, PAGASA issued Signal No. 2 to Batanes; Babuyan Islands; and portions of Cagayan and Isabela.[40] PAGASA later included the entirety of Cagayan; Apayao; Ilocos Norte; portions of Kalinga; and Abra, though Eastern and Northern Samar was removed from Signal No. 1, ending signals initiated in Visayas.[41] Signal No. 2 was also granted to Mountain Province.[42] After Kong-rey was upgraded into a super typhoon, Signal No. 3 was raised over Batanes and parts of the Babuyan Islands the next day,[43] and a portion of mainland Cagayan six hours later.[44][45]

Three hours later, Batanes was placed in Signal No. 4,[46] with more provinces getting placed in Signal No. 1.[47][26] A few hours later, the northern and eastern parts of Batanes were upgraded to Signal No. 5, the highest warning level.[48] The next day, Batanes was later downgraded to Signal No. 4, wtih the Babuyan Islands being downgraded from Signal No. 4 to 3.[49] Three hours later, Batanes was downgraded to Signal No. 3, with Babuyan Islands also being downgraded to Signal No. 2. Multiple provinces were removed from Signal No. 1 and 2.[27] Gale warnings were issued for the coasts of northern and central Luzon.[50] Authorities ordered evacuations in Batangas, which was devastated by Tropical Storm Trami (Kristine) the previous week.[51] In Cagayan, more than 8,000 people were evacuated.[52] Several airline and shipping companies cancelled services.[53][54] The Magat Dam left one of its spillways open as a precaution.[55][56] The government of Albay also prepared for the possible impacts of Kong-rey.[57] The Office of Civil Defense estimated that between 2.5 million and 5 million people could be impacted by Kong-rey in the Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon, Mimaropa, Calabarzon, and the Bicol Region.[58] Some local government units have announced that classes will be canceled on October 31 because of the storm.[59] Telecommunications company Smart prepared emergency supplies and personnel in areas where the storm was expected to approach.[60] According to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, more than 500 travelers are affected by the canceled flights.[61]

Taiwan

[edit]

The defence ministry placed 36,000 soldiers on standby for rescue efforts.[62] Some train services were cancelled. Concerts by Mayday and Andy Lau were postponed.[63][64] More than 400 flights were cancelled while the entire ferry system was suspended.[65] On October 29, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) released its first sea warning for the storm covering southeastern Taiwan and the Bashi Channel,[66][67] adding that Kong-rey could generate waves with a height ranging from 16–20 ft (5–6 m)[68] and rain measuring 20–31 in (500–800 mm).[69] Classes were suspended in Taitung County, with multiple flights and trips also cancelled. Local residents stocked up on vegetables, while fishermen gathered their boats. The National Fire Agency predicted trees to topple.[70] Two eastern islands, Orchid Island and Green Island, were closed by the local government.[71] The Soil and Water Conservation Bureau warned against potential threat of landslides, urging residents to be alert. Fishing communities added extra precaution measures. Agencies were prepared against damaged buildings, power lines, and flood rescues. Rescue personnel were also stationed across the country.[72] At least 11,588 people were evacuated.[73]

The CWA later released its first land warning for the storm on October 30, covering Taitung County and the Hengchun Peninsula.[74] The warnings were later expanded that day to cover the entirety of Taiwan.[75] Heavy rain advisories were also issued by the CWA, with extremely torrential rain warnings in Yilan County, Hualien County, Hsinchu County, and Taichung. Torrential rain warnings in Keelung, Taipei, New Taipei City, and Nantou County. Extremely heavy rain warnings in Taoyuan, Miaoli County, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung County, and heavy rain warnings in Yunlin County, Chiayi, Chiayi County, and Tainan.[76] Typhoon warnings were issued all around the country.[77] Multiple large wave warnings and a singular surge warnings were issued, all in the eastern coast of Taiwan.[78] All offices and schools in Taiwan were closed on October 31.[79] A group of 27 visitors at Wuling Farm, Taichung, were told to stay while descending, with the tourists being provided food and water. Another group of 26 tourists were told to stay put in a guesthouse at Mount Li [zh]. Another group of 24 tourists were also forced to return to a mountain after trying to leave the mountain.[80] 134 emergency shelters were established, accommodating 2,620 individuals,[73] while stock trading has been suspended due to the storm.[81]

Elsewhere

[edit]

In anticipation of the storm's effects, railway and maritime authorities in China suspended several train services and canceled 71 coastal passenger ferry routes. The National Meteorological Center of CMA issued an orange alert for the storm, warning that it was expected to bring torrential rains to eastern areas, including Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu provinces, and Shanghai.[82] In Zhejiang, 280,000 people were evacuated while 10,000 emergency shelters were opened.[83] The Ministry of Water Resources has initiated a Level-IV emergency response to manage the risk of flooding and the impacts of the storm expected to hit Shanghai.[84] Kong-rey was not predicted to hit the Korean Peninsula, but it is expected to bring significant rainfall to the southern regions due to its moisture. The Jeju Regional Meteorological Administration has issued alerts for heavy rain and strong winds across all land areas of Jeju Island.[85] The storm was also predicted to hit Japan. Residents were warned in Okinawa Prefecture against the high winds and rains. Authorities are urging people to monitor the storm.[86]

Impact and aftermath

[edit]

Philippines

The trough or extension of Kong-rey was impacting the Visayas and various regions in Luzon and Mindanao.[87] At least 545 families consisting of approximately 1,575 individuals were evacuated in Batanes following the onslaught of the typhoon.[88] Kong-rey triggered storm surges that flooded several houses in Ilocos Norte, Cagayan,[89] and Batanes, displacing about 100 families and causing significant destruction,[90] including the historic Itbayat Church, the oldest church in Itbayat, Batanes.[91] Rockslides took place in Ivana and Sabtang,[92] causing nearly 1,500 houses to be destroyed in Batanes.[93] The air assets of the Armed Forces of the Philippines were ready to airlift relief goods and other supplies to areas affected by Kong-rey.[94] At least twelve electric cooperatives were impacted by the damage caused by the storm.[95] The Department of Social Welfare and Development is set to provide 14,000 family food packs to the island province of Batanes.[96] On November 1, a C-295 transport aircraft of the Philippine Air Force carrying the said aid skidded off the runway of Basco Airport, causing one of its tires to detach.[97]

Taiwan

[edit]

In Taiwan, two people were killed in Taipei, including one when an electrical pole fell over.[98] A woman also died when a tree fell into her car in Nantou County.[29] At least 515 people were injured, and four were missing across the island due to the storm.[99] Major precipitation was measured in Hualien, with 119.5 millimetres (4.70 inches) falling in a single hour.[100] 843,000 houses lost power, while more than 33,000 others lost access to water according to the Central Emergency Operation Center, which also counted 6,917 cases of damage, ten roads blocked and 108 areas flooded.[73] Mudslides and landslides happened across the country, with overflowing rivers, blocked roads, and a destroyed bridge in Fuli Township.[80] In Hualien City and Zhuoxi, more than 300 mm (12 in) of rain fell in a 24-hour period, resulting in mudslides that obstructed roads and damaged infrastructure.[101] The National Fire Agency counted at least 34 mudslides, 162 buildings damaged and 366 fallen trees due to the storm.[102] The estimated loss of agricultural products and private facilities was NT$277.39 million (US$8.86 million).[103] The cargo vessel Yu Zhou Qi Hang, carrying three cranes and 284 tonnes of fuel, ran aground on the Yehliu Geopark, raising concerns of an oil spill. All 17 crew were rescued.[104]

Elsewhere

[edit]

After making landfall in East China, the provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian experienced strong winds and heavy rains from Kong-rey.[105] On Jeju Island, South Korea, up to 268.5 mm (10.57 in) of rain was recorded in Hallasan, resulting in flooding which caused damage to buildings across the island.[106]
