User:KN2731/Cimaron

Typhoon Cimaron was a strong tropical cyclone that impacted Japan in August 2018. Cimaron developed from a tropical depression that formed in the Northwest Pacific Ocean on August 16. The system slowly strengthened as it moved west-northwestwards near the Northern Mariana Islands and became a tropical storm two days later. After leveling off in intensity on August 20, a new quick burst of strengthening saw Cimaron become a typhoon on August 21. The next day, Cimaron reached peak intensity with 10-minute maximum sustained winds of 155 km/h (100 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), and a central pressure of 950 hPa. Shortly after, the system began to unravel as it turned to the north and encountered more hostile environmental conditions. Cimaron eventually made landfall in Japan's Tokushima and Hyōgo Prefectures on August 23 as a weakening typhoon. Land interaction caused the cyclone to rapidly degrade and it dissipated on August 24 as it transitioned to an extratropical cyclone.

Cimaron brought strong, gusty winds and heavy rain across central Japan on August 23. Agricultural damage reached JP¥ (US$30.6 million).
