Typhoon Judy (Susang) was a strong category 2 typhoon that made landfall in Japan during the 1982 Pacific typhoon season. Forming in tandem with Irving, Judy formed east of the Philippines as a tropical disturbance on September 4. In contrast to Irving, Judy's intensification was more rapid, becoming a tropical depression early on September 6, a tropical storm later that morning, and a typhoon on September 8 while tracking northwestward. On September 9, Judy appears to have ingested dry air from a nearly tropical upper tropospheric cyclone, as its central eye feature expanded significantly. A mid-latitude trough south of Korea swept Judy more northward, ultimately accelerating the storm towards Japan on September 11. When the 70 knots (130 km/h) Typhoon Judy hit southeastern Japan on September 12, its torrential rains left 25 dead and causing moderate damage. Extratropical transition had begun around that time, and Judy became an extratropical cyclone on September 13.[1]

On September 9, Judy appears to have ingested dry air from a nearly tropical upper tropospheric cyclone, as its central eye feature expanded significantly and reached its peak of winds of 105 mph (165 km/h).[2] A mid-latitude trough south of Korea swept Judy more northward, ultimately accelerating the storm towards Japan on September 11.

Extratropical transition had begun around that time, and Judy became an extratropical cyclone on September 13.
Typhoon Judy made landfall in southeastern Japan on September 12 as a minimal category 1 typhoon, with its torrential rains causing flood, and the flooding left 25 dead and caused moderately heavy damage to home. Real damage is unknown.[3]Overall impact was moderate, 25 deaths and moderately heavy damage.
