Typhoon Nuri, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Paeng, was the third most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 2014. The system developed into a tropical storm and received the name Paeng from the PAGASA on October 31, before it intensified into a typhoon on the next day. Under very favorable conditions, especially the synoptic scale outflow, Nuri underwent rapid deepening and reached its peak intensity on November 2, forming a round eye in a overall symmetric Central dense overcast (CDO). Maintaining an impressive structure for over one day, The storm began to weaken on November 4, with a cloud-filled eye.
Due to the vertical wind shear from the mid-latitude westerlies, Nuri lost its eye on November 5, and deep convection continued to deteriorate the system. The storm accelerated northeastward and completely became extratropical on November 6. However, on the next day, the main circulation of the storm was divided, and a new center absorbed the entire circulation.
