Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau(CWB) has issued their outlook for the 2017 Typhoon Season...
Although only two named storms have formed so far, CWB forecasts that 21-25 Tropical Storms/Typhoons will form over the NW Pacific between June and December 2017, which is close to the climate average, and 3-5 of these could directly affect Taiwan...

And ended up with 17 typhoons.

Re: 2017 WPAC Season
There are some hints that a global pattern change may begin to transpire in July, moving towards a more El Nino like base state. It's still too early to tell how drastic this pattern shift could be, but guidance is already starting to show some changes coming about. Indications of lowering surface pressures out east near the International Date Line is certainly a more Nino like occurrence.

Global Tropical Cyclone Activity Paltry So Far. The Real Drought Source: The Western Pacific Basin

Some really interesting read. Will the most active basin in the world wake up anytime soon?

Interesting. Will this mean a more active WPAC compared to the same period in 2016, a La Nina year? Although a weak to moderate EN does not always guarantee an above average typhoon season. Like for example, in 2009, there were a handful of super typhoons but pales in comparison with other non-Nino years. I'd say 2016 is even more active than 2009 and 2006.

It's hard to tell at this juncture, but it certainly is possible. A hallmark of an El Nino is often a more active than average July and/or August, so we may see some signs within the next week or two.
And believe it or not, aside from actual storm count, both 2006 and 2009 were more active in almost every single way than 2016. Much of that has to do with storm duration though, El Nino years usually have storms forming further east and therefore existing longer. Most of 2016's storms, including some of the the really strong ones, didn't last very long. Nepartak and Meranti each lasted for less than six days, a far cry from a the true ACE hoarders like Ioke or Melor.

Typo: I meant 2016 is more active, not 2017. My bad.
Anyway, I totally forgot about the long-tracking intense typhoons of 2006 and 2009, true mark of a raging El Nino. Thank you for posting the data, I had no idea those 2 years actually generated a good amount of ACE.

Re: 2017 WPAC Season
TSR going to release their July 6 forecast. Their May 5th forecast called for:
27 Tropical Storms
17 Typhoons
10 Major Typhoons
ACE 357
Already 3 TS, and 1 unconfirmed typhoon so far. I wonder what lies ahead.

Re: 2017 WPAC Season
Just look at how warm 2017 is compared to 2016 although. 2017 leads both 2006 and 2009 although 2017 fails in comparison to 2009's sst.
