NOUL is the second category 5 super typhoon in the western Pacific this year. It developed as a tropical disturbance at the beginning of May, gradually gathering strength and intensified into tropical depression 06W on May 3. At its formation, the vertical wind shear is somewhat stronger in the southern side of the cyclone, and development was rather limited. Meanwhile, 06W was at that time situated south of a small break in the subtropical ridge and hence drifted north. 06W intensified into a tropical storm early on May 4, and was named NOUL by the JMA. It decelerated and turned west in a weak steering environment.
In the next two days, NOUL's convections were limited to its northern and western sides. It took a southward dip on May 5 and passed through Yap that night as it started to develop a low-level eye, which was initially discernible through microwave satellite imagery. The JTWC upgraded NOUL into a typhoon at 2 am May 6. During the day, NOUL's eye became more prominent; agencies that use 10-minute average wind speeds upgraded NOUL into a typhoon that night.
As vertical wind shear over the region relaxed and outflow improved, NOUL's convections became more symmetrical on May 6 and 7. It also accelerated towards the west-northwest as the subtropical ridge strengthened. The ridge's western edge was situated near the eastern end of Luzon Strait, and a recurving scenario was generally adopted by various agencies. NOUL's rate of intensification was very modest on May 8 and May 9, as its eye lacked stability and disappeared from satellite images at times. The JTWC even lowered its estimated intensity from 105 knots (195 km/h) to 95 knots (176 km/h) in the morning of May 9.
An episode of rapid intensification took place during that night. NOUL's central dense overcast consolidated into an annular, tight patch of convections within a period of 12 hours. Its eye cleared early on May 10 as the storm approached northeastern Luzon. The JTWC upgraded NOUL into a 140-knot (259 km/h) category 5 super typhoon at 8 am, while JMA's estimated intensity was 105 knots (195 km/h) with a central pressure of 915 hPa.
Due to its proximity to landmass, NOUL's peak intensity did not last long. Its eyewall warmed during the day and its eye shrank in size. It briefly touched Luzon's northeastern tip at around 7 pm as it reached the western periphery of the subtropical ridge and turned north. NOUL's degradation led various agencies to lower its estimated strength during the night of May 10.
In light of NOUL's approach, Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau issued a sea typhoon warning at 8:30 am May 10. The storm maintained a distance of around 200 km from the Island as it recurved and weakened gradually while crossing Luzon Strait, and the warning was lifted at 8:30 pm the next day. NOUL entered the westerlies soon after recurvature and accelerated quickly to around 50 km/h. Because of strong vertical wind shear and rapidly decreasing sea temperatures along its track, NOUL weakened steadily and its convections were heavily sheared. It neared Ryukyu Islands early on May 12, and within several hours' time it reached seas just southeast of Kagoshima. The JMA ceased tropical cyclone warning at 8 pm as it determined that NOUL's extratropical transition was complete; at that time NOUL was approaching Tokyo. In HKO's weather report, NOUL was once predicted to move at 90 km/h just prior to the completion of extratropical transition, a very high speed that is rarely seen even for transitioning cyclones.
紅霞是本年西北太平洋的第二個五級超級颱風。它在 5 月初發展成熱帶擾動，於 3 日逐漸增強為熱帶低氣壓 06W。06W 形成初期，其南端的垂直風切變較強，令該區發展速度較慢。當時 06W 正處於副熱帶高壓脊一細小弱點以南，因而向北飄移。06W 於 4 日增強為熱帶風暴，被日本氣象廳命名為紅霞。在微弱流場中，紅霞減速並轉向西移。
於其後兩天，紅霞大部份對流仍局限於其西北兩側。它於 5 日略為南移，當晚經過雅蒲島並開始發展出低層風眼，於微波衛星雲圖中可見。聯合颱風警報中心遂於 6 日上午 2 時將其升格為颱風。紅霞的風眼於當日日間更趨明顯，使用 10 分鐘平均風速標準的氣象台於當晚將其升格為颱風。
隨著該區的垂直風切變下降而輻散轉佳，紅霞的對流於 6 及 7 日變得較為對稱。由於副高增強，紅霞加速向西北偏西移動。當時副高西沿於呂宋海峽東端，因此大部分機構均預測紅霞將於到達較高緯度後轉向。紅霞於 8 及 9 日只略為增強，其風眼較不穩定，間中更於衛星雲圖上消失。聯合颱風警報中心曾於 9 日早上將其估計強度由 105 節 (每小時 195 公里) 下調至 95 節 (每小時 176 公里)。
紅霞於 9 日晚快速增強，其中心密集雲區於 12 小時內整合為一環狀緊密的對流團。風暴於 10 日早段靠近呂宋東北部，其風眼變得清晰無雲，聯合颱風警報中心於上午 8 時將其升格為五級超級颱風 (強度 140 節 / 每小時 259 公里)，而日本氣象廳對其估計強度則為 105 節 (每小時 195 公里)，中心氣壓 915 百帕斯卡。
由於紅霞靠近陸地，它維持巔峰強度的時間不長。紅霞眼牆溫度於當天日間升高，風眼逐漸縮小。它於晚上約 7 時擦過呂宋東北角，並沿副高西部轉向北移。因應紅霞的結構轉差，各氣象台均於 10 日晚間下調其強度估計。
台灣方面，因紅霞逐漸逼近，中央氣象局於 10 日早上 8 時 30 分發出海上颱風警報。紅霞於橫過呂宋海峽時轉向並減弱，與台灣主島維持約 200 公里距離，警告於翌日晚上 8 時 30 分取消。紅霞於轉向後不久即進入西風帶，致其加速至每小時約 50 公里。受強烈垂直風切變及海溫不斷下降的影響，紅霞穩定地減弱，而其對流則被嚴重切離。風暴於 12 日早段靠近琉球群島，數小時後已達鹿兒島東南方近海。日本氣象廳於當晚 8 時認為紅霞已完成溫帶氣旋轉化，風暴當時正趨向東京；較早時香港天文台的天氣報告則曾預計紅霞會以每小時約 90 公里的速度移動，可見風暴轉化時移速之高。
