Line 165:

=== Peak season activity ===

On August 5, the JMA reported that a low-pressure area had formed east-northeast of [[Iwo Jima]]. Environmental conditions were marginally favorable to conduct a [[tropical cyclogenesis]], with warm sea temperatures, low vertical wind shear, and ~~wind shear~~ good outflow. Later that day, JMA named the system ''Lan'' as it strengthened into a tropical storm. Lan continues to strengthen more to achieve the peak intensity of 215 km/h (130 mph).

After reaching its peak intensity, Lan started to track through colder waters, causing the typhoon to weaken significantly. Lan re-strengthened again into a Category-2 typhoon as it strengthened. The storm maintained its overall convective structure, but the waters beneath the cyclone cooled, prompting a quick weakening trend. Around 14:00 UTC on August 14, Lan made landfall on [[Cape Shionomisaki]], Japan. Once inland, Lan weakened into a tropical storm over the region's rough terrain. Lan began to accelerate northeast through [[Sea of Japan]] while weakening. JMA declared the system as an extratropical low on August 17.
