Intensifying Typhoon Jongdari had maximum sustained winds estimated at 90 knots (104 mph) when the GPM core observatory satellite passed over it on July 27, 2018 at 0358 UTC (July 26 at 11:58 p.m. EDT). GPM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA.

From GPM imagery, it was evident that Jongdari was a large typhoon with extensive areas of heavy precipitation located near the eye and in intense feeder bands. GPM's Microwave Imager (GMI) and Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) data were used in this analysis of JongdarI's precipitation. GPM's data indicated that precipitation was falling at a rate of over 267 mm (10.5 inches) per hour in a band of rain well to the northwest of the typhoon's center.
