Ex-Typhoon Halong: The Weather and Climate Story
November 13, 2025 @ 11:00 am to 12:00 pm AKST
Speakers: Rick Thoman, Climate Specialist, and Ed Plumb, Weather and Flood Hazards Specialist, Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Preparedness
On October 11–12, 2025, ex-Typhoon Halong brought catastrophic flooding and damaging winds to parts of western Alaska, particularly across the Kuskokwim Delta region. In this ACCAP webinar, we’ll focus on the weather and climate aspects of this exceptional event. We’ll discuss the evolution of the storm, how unusual it was for a former typhoon to take this track so far north, how rare storms of this strength are in the eastern Bering Sea, and how weather forecast models performed leading up to the event.
