27 August — Strengthens into a tropical storm
Bang-Lang became a tropical storm at 06:00 UTC on 27 August. Wind increased to 65 km/h and pressure fell to 1,000 mb. Six hours later, wind reached 83 km/h with pressure at 997 mb. Bang-Lang was over open water at 16.7°N, 162.3°E and moved towards 110° at 9 km/h.
28 August — Strengthens into a typhoon
Bang-Lang reached typhoon strength at 12:00 UTC on 28 August, with wind of 120 km/h, gusts of 138 km/h and pressure of 984 mb. The storm was over open western Pacific water at 19.5°N, 166.5°E and moved towards 50° at 19 km/h.
29 August — Reaches peak recorded strength
Bang-Lang reached its strongest recorded intensity at 06:00 UTC on 29 August. Wind reached 139 km/h, gusts reached 160 km/h and pressure fell to 971 mb. The storm was at 23.9°N, 168.2°E and moved towards 20° at 30 km/h. The same wind and gust values remained in the next reading.
30 August — Weakens from typhoon to tropical storm
Bang-Lang weakened to a tropical storm at 00:00 UTC on 30 August. Wind fell to 111 km/h, gusts to 128 km/h and pressure rose to 979 mb. The storm was at 31.3°N, 167.9°E and moved towards 355° at 44 km/h. Wind declined to 65 km/h by 12:00 UTC.
30 August — Weakens into a tropical depression
Bang-Lang became a tropical depression at 18:00 UTC on 30 August. Wind measured 56 km/h, gusts reached 64 km/h and pressure was 993 mb. The final reading on 31 August placed Bang-Lang at 36.7°N, 165.3°E, moving towards 335° at 24 km/h, with the same wind and pressure.
How Bang-Lang is behaving
Bang-Lang’s readings show a clear intensification phase from 26 to 29 August. Pressure fell from 1,006 mb to 970 mb while wind rose from 46 km/h to 139 km/h. A brief pressure increase from 980 mb to 981 mb appeared between 18:00 UTC on 28 August and 00:00 UTC on 29 August, followed by a sharper fall to 971 mb. This combination of falling pressure and rising wind marks the storm’s strongest recorded development.
After the peak, pressure rose from 970 mb to 993 mb while wind declined from 139 km/h to 56 km/h. Bang-Lang also changed speed and direction: the track moved east and then north-east during strengthening, turned towards the north by 29 August, and reached 50 km/h towards 350° before slowing to 24 km/h towards 335° in the final reading. The observations support weakening after the peak, but they do not identify the atmospheric causes.
How to track Bang-Lang
In RainViewer, turn on the tropical storm tracks layer to review Bang-Lang’s recorded path. Each point shows the storm’s category at that moment: cyan marks a tropical depression, blue a tropical storm and red a category 4 storm. Bang-Lang’s points use the categories recorded in its history, including typhoon points shown in the category scale used for the track. Because Bang-Lang has ended and left the feed, the track is historical rather than a live update.
Read each point with its timestamp, position, wind speed, pressure and movement direction. The final point shows where the last reading placed Bang-Lang, while earlier points show its changes in strength and motion over open water. Set an alert for your area in the RainViewer app on Google Play or the App Store to follow weather near your location; use your national weather service for official warnings.
What is known about Bang-Lang’s formation and history
The observation history identifies Bang-Lang as part of the 2026 western Pacific season, but it does not record the conditions that formed the system. The readings contain no measurements of sea surface temperature, wind shear or moisture, so they cannot establish why Bang-Lang formed at that time or place. The available data show only the storm’s observed positions, intensity, pressure and movement.
The supplied history does not include comparisons with earlier western Pacific storms. No past storm name, year, peak category or concrete outcome can be verified from the available data, so this page does not add a historical comparison. Bang-Lang’s documented record here begins as a tropical depression on 26 August 2026 and ends as a tropical depression on 31 August.
Storm FAQ
What does Bang-Lang’s final status mean?
Bang-Lang’s final recorded classification was tropical depression, with wind of 56 km/h and pressure of 993 mb. The storm has left the RainViewer feed, so this page will not receive another Bang-Lang observation.
What is the difference between wind speed and gust speed for Bang-Lang?
Wind speed is the sustained wind value recorded for the storm, while gust speed is the stronger short-duration wind value. In the final reading, Bang-Lang had wind of 56 km/h and gusts of 64 km/h.
How does RainViewer show a storm’s category on the track?
RainViewer colours each tropical storm track point according to Bang-Lang’s category at that recorded moment. The legend uses cyan for a tropical depression, blue for a tropical storm, yellow for category 1, amber for category 2, orange for category 3, red for category 4 and dark red for category 5.
Why are tropical cyclones given names?
Names make it easier to identify one tropical cyclone clearly in forecasts, observations and records. A name distinguishes the storm from other systems that may exist in the same basin or season.
