Because of the change in steering, Page began to encounter stronger wind shear, which resulted in a prolonged weakening trend.

Typhoon Page was the record sixth tropical cyclone to directly affect Japan that year.

[2] After forming near the International Date Line, the disturbance tracked northwest initially before turning west three days later.

[3] The disturbance failed to develop appreciably due to strong easterly wind shear aloft.

Convection organization improved, and on November 17, Dvorak classifications reached T1.5/30 mph (50 km/h), which prompted the JTWC to issue a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert.

The low-level center became better defined overnight in response to decreased wind shear, and on November 19, the JTWC upgraded the disturbance into a tropical depression.

Meanwhile, organized deep convection quickly developed over the center, and on November 21, the disturbance was upgraded into a tropical depression by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).

[6][nb 2] Resuming a westward track, Page began to intensify at a faster pace on November 23 due to decreased wind shear.

[4] Following the development of a small eye,[2] Page was upgraded into a typhoon twelve hours later by the JTWC, with the JMA following suit on the evening of November 24.

Based on the appearance of a 75 km (45 mi) well-defined eye, Page was declared a super typhoon by the JTWC, the second of the month, at 06:00 UTC on November 26.

[2] Six hours later, the JTWC estimated that typhoon attained its highest intensity, with 1-minute sustained winds of 255 km/h (160 mph).

[6] Around this time, the JMA also estimated that Page peaked in intensity, with 10-minute sustained winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 910 mbar (27 inHg).

[4] Typhoon Page, while maintaining peak strength,[2] began to turn northwest on the evening of November 26[1] as it approached a break in the subtropical ridge.

[2] The next day, the typhoon turned northward[1] along the 125th meridian east, then accelerated to the northeast as it rounded a ridge.

A loss in eye definition and a decrease in Dvorak estimates led to the JTWC downgrading Page back to a typhoon at 18:00 UTC on November 27.

Six hours later, the agency declared Page an extratropical cyclone as the storm passed over central Honshu about 130 km (80 mi) south of Osaka.

[1] However, the JTWC did not downgrade Page into a tropical storm until 12:00 UTC[6] as wind shear continued to take toll on the system.

Later that day, the JTWC issued its last warning based on a combination of land interaction with Honshu and extratropical transition.
