After a lack of steering flow stalled the depression, it began tracking westward along a mid-level subtropical high, maintaining its intensity as it failed to consolidate further despite its favorable environment. Despite this, the JTWC and the PAGASA would upgrade the depression to a tropical storm at 09:00 UTC. The JMA would later upgrade the depression to a storm a day later, on September 23, and was subsequently named ''Noru''. Up until this point, forecasts from all three agencies expected wind speeds of only up to ; the JTWC further cited a weak upper-level outflow and dry air as hindrances to rapid intensification.On September 24, the JMA assessed the storm's development into a severe tropical storm.

Impact


Philippines

Noru made multiple landfalls over the Philippine archipelago both as a super typhoon (based on the classification used by the PAGASA) and as a high-end typhoon. Its second landfall occurred in the evening of September 26, crossing Central Luzon over the course of the night until it emerged over Zambales at 04:00 PHT (20:00 UTC). As a storm in late September, Noru struck just before the harvesting season of rice, which is extensively produced in central and northern Luzon — both within the track of the storm.
