Typhoon Mindulle was a long-lived and strong typhoon that lasted out the sea in late September 2021. As the seventeenth named storm, and the sixth typhoon of the 2021 Pacific typhoon season, Mindulle originated from a area of low pressure 703 nmi (1,302 km; 809 mi) southeast of Guam. It quickly organized until attaining the name Mindulle. Mindulle eventually became a Category 1 typhoon on September 25 in 3:00 UTC. Wind shear slowed its rapid intensification, but it still managed to intensify. Mindulle eventually reached Category 5 typhoon the next day, as the storm had a large eye in its center. Wind shear weakened the storm, but reintensified. On October 2, JMA issued its last advisory as it becomes extratropical as it continues moving northeast.
