Looking at the latest GFS, it brings the remnants of Nock-Ten into the North Indian Ocean. Doesn't develop the former.

JMA has released best tracks for all tropical cyclone in 2016. I have prepared some spreadsheets containing all the best tracks, together with the operational analysis. You can view the spreadsheets through the link below.

JTWC has released their 2016 Best Track. One of the most interesting is the bump to 170 knots peak for Super Typhoon Meranti prior to landfall.

Man oh man, ever since Super Typhoon Megi in 2010, we've been witnessing these 165 to 175 knots Super Typhoons come and go. Where is the recon when we need them?

21W(CHABA) 150KT

25W (HAIMA) 145KT
30W(NOCK-TEN) 140KT

With the 2016 Best Track data now in, here is the the breakdown by storm and by month, as well as the changes from operational data. Tokage probably had the most drastic adjustments, featuring a 30 kt maximum wind increase (50 kt to 80 kt). Mirinae, Omais, and Mindulle also got bumps up to minor typhoon intensity from tropical storms. Nepartak got bumped to 155 kt (I probably would have still gone a little higher). Lionrock and Megi both got bumped to 120 kt. 14W and 17W both got TS bumps, but Rai did not.
