Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Typhoon Roke quickly became organized again and developed an excellent equatoward outflow and continued to strengthen. Then, being located in an area of low vertical wind shear and abnormally high sea surface temperatures, Roke underwent rapid deepening and became a Category 1 typhoon on the SSHS with a maximum sustained windspeed of 70 knots (130 km/h; 81 mph) (1-min sustained). The JTWC later reported that Roke underwent Explosive intensification, a a more extreme case of rapid deepening that involves a tropical cyclone deepening at a rate of at least 2.5 mbar per hour for a minimum of 12 hours. Also, they added that Roke developed a 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) eye and a good poleward outflow channel.
