Super Typhoon Megi (20W) made landfall on the island of Taiwan as a Category 4 storm (
CIMSS SATCON) on 27 September 2016, as seen on
JMA Himawari-8 Visible (0.64 µm) and Infrared Window (10.4 µm) images
(above; also available as a 69 Mbyte animated GIF). It is interesting to note the blossoming of cold cloud-top IR brightness temperatures of -80º C and colder
(violet color enhancement) west of the island after landfall.
The MIMIC-TC product (below) showed that Megi was going through an eyewall replacement cycle around the time of landfall.
