In preparations for the typhoon, more than a half a million individuals evacuated in the Japanese islands, and tropical cyclone alerts were raised in the country itself, Taiwan and the eastern portion of China.
The NDRRMC in the Philippines also issued bulletins on the system, depicting a possibility of flash floods and landslides in Luzon; however, the typhoon passed safely to the east of the country.
[1] On September 6, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began monitoring a low pressure area for potential tropical cyclogenesis, under a favorable environment.
[2] Two days later, on September 8, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) confirmed the formation of a tropical depression to the southeast of the Mariana Islands.
[3][2][4] A ridge steered the depression to the northwest to more favorable conditions, including low wind shear, warm sea surface temperatures and good outflow.
[5] The depression continued intensifying, becoming a tropical storm, early the next day, according to the JMA, and gave the name Talim on the system.
[10] Its eye became apparent on satellite images later that day,[11] before Talim entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, with the PAGASA issuing on their first bulletin, classifying the system as Typhoon Lannie.
[15][16] Talim reached its peak strength the next day, with sustained winds of about 140 mph (230 km/h) for one minute mean and a minimum pressure of 935 mbar (27.61 inHg).
[11] On September 15, Talim began to weaken due to increasing upper-level wind shear, with the typhoon becoming slowly disorganized.
[18][19] It further degraded to a tropical storm as it slowly approached the Japanese Islands, before making landfall near Kyushu on September 17.
[20][21] It crossed the country, before transitioning to an extratropical storm as it entered the Sea of Japan, near Hokkaido on the next day,[22] following with the JTWC and JMA issuing their final warning.
[3] As Talim entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, the PAGASA issued their subsequent bulletins, pinpointing the possibility of the typhoon inducing the southwest monsoon.
[42] Local residents and tourists of Primorsky Territory and the Kuril Islands were warned of high waves, heavy rains and gusty winds as Ex-Talim approaches the area.
[51] As Talim ripped Okinawa, starting on September 13, strong winds uprooted trees and over 20,000 households reported power outages in Miyako.
[54][55][51] As the typhoon made landfall on Kyushu on the morning of September 17, over 1,400 households in Miyazaki and Kumamoto were affected due to strong winds that downed electrical lines.
[66] The Saeki, Tsukumi, and Usuki railway stations of Nippō Main Line, all in Oita Prefecture, were covered in mud due to the floodings.
