Meteorological history[edit]
An area of convection was first monitored by the China Meteorological Agency (CMA) on 12:00 UTC of October 12, to the south of Guam.[2] It had a pressure of 1006 mbar at that time.[2] It moved to the west, while remaining disorganized.[2] At 12:00 UTC of October 15, the Fleet Weather Center started to issue bulletins on the system, while located to the north-northwest of Palau.[2][3] A disorganized system, the disturbance started to move to the northwest due to a ridge of high pressure to its south.[4] Slow intensification ensued, and at 18:00 UTC of the next day, the Fleet Center upgraded the system to a tropical storm, with the agency naming it Trix.[2] At 12:00 UTC of the next day, Trix passed near Palau while starting to accelerate to the west-northwest, entering the area of responsibility of the Philippines at 15:00 UTC that day.[2] It then intensified to a typhoon at 18:00 UTC nf October 18, as it entered a favorable environment for intensification.[2] At that time, Trix also started to rapidly intensify, with the system being well defined and its circulation being compact, as seen and evidenced in weather maps.[2][5]
