LEKIMA is the 42nd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Vietnam, and is the name of a tree whose fruit has one seed and yellow pulp. This name was used in 2001 and 2007.
LEKIMA continues to weaken and accelerate. At 8 am, LEKIMA was centred about 890 km (480 NM) E of Tokyo.
利奇馬繼續減弱並加速。在上午 8 時，利奇馬集結在東京以東約 890 公里 (480 海里)。

Current T-number: T5.5/6.0/W1.5/24 HRS
LEKIMA's convections become shallower but its eye remains relatively clear. Lower sea temperatures and heightening shear will cause LEKIMA to weaken, and extratropical transition should be complete by t+48.
現時的 T 號碼: T5.5/6.0/W1.5/24 HRS
利奇馬的對流變淺，但風眼仍然較為清晰。低海溫及高垂直風切變的環境將令利奇馬減弱，預料風暴會於 48 小時後轉化為溫帶氣旋。

LEKIMA's eye enlarged a bit but its central dense overcast remains very deep. As it turns north sea temperatures are expected to decrease, which will be the primary reason of LEKIMA's weakening. Extratropical transition should be complete by t+72.

利奇馬的風眼略為擴大，但中心密集雲區仍然深厚。隨著利奇馬轉北，海溫下降將為它減弱的首要原因。利奇馬將於 72 小時後轉化為溫帶氣旋。

LEKIMA is the 42nd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Vietnam, and is the name of a tree whose fruit has one seed and yellow pulp. This name was used in 2001 and 2007.
LEKIMA is expected to move WNW along the southern periphery of the subtropical ridge, and recurve near t+48 as it reaches the ridge's western edge.

Intensity
Analysis 強度分析
Current T-number: T7.0/7.0/D2.5/24 HRS
LEKIMA developed quickly with very low cloud-top temperatures at its central dense overcast. The storm should have reached the environmental limit and will stay at category 5 for some time due to high sea temperatures (higher than 29 degrees) and good outflow. Decrease in sea temperatures should weaken the storm later, and extratropical transition is expected after recurvature.
現時的 T 號碼: T7.0/7.0/D2.5/24 HRS
利奇馬發展速度十分快，其中心密集雲區雲頂溫度非常低。風暴似乎已到達該區可容納的強度上限，但由於海溫偏高 (高於 29 度) 且輻散良好，利奇馬將可維持五級強度一段時間，隨後因海溫開始下降而減弱。利奇馬將於轉向後轉化為溫帶氣旋。
