kirogi
a low-pressure system formed near the marshall islands on early august 25, developing and being upgraded to a tropical depression on august 27 by the japan meteorological agency (jma). there was a persistent deep convection in the system which lead to the upgrade to a tropical storm by the jma and was given the name 'jebi'. on august 29, the storm abruptly underwent rapid intensification and became the third super typhoon and the second category 5 of the season. on september 4, a weakened but still powerful jebi made landfall over the southern part of tokushima prefecture at around 12:00 jst (03:00 utc) before moving over osaka bay and making another landfall at around kobe, hyōgo prefecture at around 14:00 jst (05:00 utc). osaka was hit badly with a maximum wind gust of 209 km/h recorded at kansai international airport and 171 km/h at osaka city's weather station, where the minimum sea level pressure (962 mb) was the lowest since 1961's record of 937 mb (typhoon nancy) and the fifth lowest on record. a 3.29 metre storm surge led to flooding along the osaka bay, including kansai international airport, where the runways were flooded and some airport facilities were damaged by wind and water. osaka's iconic universal studios japan was also closed during the event of the typhoon. wakayama also recorded a maximum wind gust of 207 km/h. typhoon jebi then moved over kyoto which wrecked more havoc. multiple shrines were closed during the duration of the typhoon. kyoto station received a lot of damage, the glass above the atrium covering the central exit, shops and hotel, collapsed, narrowly missing a few by centimeters. the typhoon ultimately emerged into the sea of japan shortly after 15:00 jst (06:00 utc). simultaneously, a cold front formed southwest of the typhoon, initiating the beginning of an extratropical transition on september 4. on september 5, after jtwc issued a final warning at 00:00 jst (15:00 utc), jebi was downgraded to a severe tropical storm at 03:00 jst (18:00 utc) when it was located near the shakotan peninsula of hokkaido. the storm completely transitioned into a storm-force extratropical cyclone off the coast of primorsky krai, russia shortly before 10:00 vlat (09:00 jst, 00:00 utc). later, the extratropical cyclone moved inland. the terrain of khabarovsk krai contributed to the steadily weakening trend as the system moved inland northwestward and then northward; extratropical low passed northeast of ayan early on september 7. jebi's extratropical remnant continued northward and then turned northeastward, before dissipating early on september 9 over the arctic ocean.
