Super Typhoon Noru was a part of the 2022 Pacific Typhoon Season, and occurred in late September. The storm at first was not thought of much, model guidance was not too keen on the system doing much at all, and even official forecasts did not have the storm intensifying much on approach to the Philippines.
Those in the Philippines would be in for a major surprise come September 25th, when Noru would rapidly intensify, at a rate not seen too often with tropical cyclones, going from a Tropical Storm to a powerful Category 5 Super Typhoon in 12 hours. This was confirmed on the morning of the 25th as Himawari satellite imagery showed a compact Noru, with a tiny, but clear eye. This intensification lead to the issuance of Signal #5 Warnings in Luzon, which has only occurred with a few other storms since the new signal warning system had been implemented.
After the Philippines, Noru weakened as it entered the South China Sea, and on approach to Vietnam, had another amazing intensification phase, becoming a powerful Category 4 typhoon just off the coastline of Vietnam. Amazingly, this peak also featured another pinhole eye structure. Fortunately, Noru weakened drastically before landfall in Vietnam, however, impacts were still significant in both the Philippines and Vietnam as the storm passed through.
