Typhoon Doksuri: How Mountain Blocking Trapped a 1,000-Mile Rain Train
Meteorological investigation into how Typhoon Doksuri's remnant low collided with the Taihang Mountains and a high-pressure dam, triggering historic inland floods.

Monitor active storms worldwide with Storm Atlas. Track hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms, and cyclones in real-time with live path updates, forecasts, wind fields, and atmospheric pressure maps.
Storm Atlas is a premier global weather intelligence platform and storm tracking database available directly in your browser. With no installation required, Storm Atlas monitors hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms, and cyclones across all major ocean basins. By aggregating data from leading meteorological agencies worldwide, we provide citizens, maritime operators, and weather enthusiasts with highly accurate, live-updating storm tracking assets, historical wind speed metrics, and central atmospheric pressure data. Beyond severe weather tracking, Storm Atlas also provides wildfire monitoring, smoke dispersion analysis, and air quality insights to help users understand global atmospheric hazards.
Different regions refer to intense tropical cyclones by different meteorological terms. Storm Atlas tracks all forms of severe storm systems globally to help establish consistent weather awareness.
Forming in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific Oceans, hurricanes are severe tropical cyclones with sustained wind speeds exceeding 119 km/h (74 mph). Storm Atlas monitors Atlantic and Pacific hurricane paths, intensity shifts, and landfall warnings.
A tropical storm features organized convection and a defined circular wind pattern with sustained winds ranging between 63 km/h and 118 km/h. Tracking tropical storms is vital as they can rapidly intensify into major cyclones or typhoons.
Active in the Western Pacific Ocean, typhoons are structurally identical to hurricanes but are characterized by their regional terminology. Storm Atlas tracks Northwest Pacific typhoons, super typhoons, and local meteorological bulletins in real-time.
Commonly occurring in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific, tropical cyclones are low-pressure systems rotating clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the North. We track South Pacific cyclones and Bay of Bengal systems.
Severe storms include post-tropical depressions, deep lows, and intense convective cells. Monitoring these systems is crucial because they cause widespread wind damage, coastal storm surges, and intense flooding even after weakening.
Our platform integrates multiple advanced scientific data sources and meteorological visual layers to deliver reliable weather intelligence.
We fetch high-resolution meteorological satellite loops to display cloud cover dynamics, convective activities, and structural evolution of storm eyes.
Storm Atlas utilizes official agency forecast cones and computer models to project the path of active storms up to 72 or 120 hours in advance.
Real-time updates continuously update coordinates, speed, and directional vectors to pinpoint the current center of any active tropical cyclone.
We overlay isobar pressure contours and vector wind fields, allowing users to analyze eye pressure drops and dangerous quadrant wind speeds.
Storm Atlas stands out as a highly reliable and user-focused meteorological tracking platform.
We poll official data continuously, ensuring our live tracking maps refresh as soon as new advisory warnings are issued by global weather agencies.
Search and explore previous storm records categorized by year and basin. Compare storm intensity trends and path dynamics over decades of records.
Toggle between 39 distinct weather layers including wind fields, satellite loops, and local radar. Search specific coordinates to inspect wind metrics.
