Kirogi: Wandering Typhoon #20.

From The Digital Typhoon Blog

It seems that Typhoon KIROGI is the bane of weather forecasters and meteorologists in Japan Meteorological Agency. It moves northward when they forecast an eastward motion, and vice versa. Figures above are the time series of typhoon track forecast published on the Website of Japan Meteorological Agency, and these figures illustrate the frequent modification of forecast circles by weather forecasters thinking over the results of numerical prediction. The reason of the frequent change of forecast is that they cannot decide whether the typhoon will move on the strong flow in the upper troposphere or not.
