Description

Zeming Wu and co-authors name an Atlantic pattern that steers typhoons toward northern Asian cities in a 2025 paper. Spring readings of the pattern explain over half the swing in peak season tracks. Records span 1979 to 2023 for the track mode. The pattern pairs a pressure seesaw between the tropics and Hudson Bay.

Jet stream shifts carry the signal across seasons into Pacific waters. Warm or cool patches then bend steering winds over the Northwest Pacific. Typhoons get tempted north or blocked south by those flows. Models project more positive pattern years as climate warms. Northern coastal cities may face rising storm risk in coming decades.
