Well the non happy hour run 12z had this peaking at 925 mb.

The happy hour run 18z has way less of intensification. A struggling TC..981 mb... :lol:

Ai yai yai...

Im guessing the non happy hour GFS runs have switched as the 00z GFS run is stronger

Looks like GFS completely dropped it the past couple of runs.

EURO with the win again.

"Happy Hour" GFS runs, at least with the old version, coincided with peak heating (which was actually a verifiable difference with 06Z/18Z runs), meaning the 18Z run for the CONUS. WPac "happy hour" runs would actually be with the 06Z run. Whether this bias remains with the new version remains to be seen however.

I did a little research on those two consecutive years with weak to moderate El Nino. The only ones in not-so-distant history were '68-'69, '76-'77, and '86-'87. 1969 and 1977 were among the least active years in terms of tropical cyclone activity in the Western Pacific, while 1987 was average, although that year had less tropical cyclone formations compared to '86 (but interestingly, '87 had 6 super typhoons while '86 had 3). I have no idea about the things in play in the atmosphere during El Nino that affects tropical cyclone activity in the WPAC, but it's interesting to note that there might be some negative effects in TC development in WPAC when a weak El Nino extends into the second year. Just to emphasize, I'm talking about consecutive years with weak to mild El Nino, and the 2014-2015 event is obviously not included.

Interesting SCS system. Tropical or Subtropical?

GFS brings it to land sooner. 984 mb straight into Hong Kong.

GFS looks to have another tropical mischief in the SCS long range.

June is a down month in the WPac, averaging less activity than even May largely due to the Mei-yu. The first ten days of July sees a big uptick climatologically, so I might not get too excited until then. The big early July system has been almost clockwork in recent years.

As the convective envelope of the MJO moves toward the central and eastern Pacific (Phase 6/7) during the next two weeks, this should support tropical cyclone development for the western Pacific basin. For Week-1, there is high confidence in possible TC formation over the area east of the Philippines, where models are indicating a closed low tracking northwestward later in the period. Over the Bay of Bengal, there is moderate confidence in another TC formation. The GEFS is showing enhanced rainfall over the region with no closed low, while other models are indicating TC formation. Continuing into Week-2, the set up over the western Pacific is expected remain conducive to TC formation.

Those ocean temps are incredibly warm. Once the beast wakes up, i feel all hell will break loose.

The SCS system is still there and quite a midget. Too small to be initialized.

It has another TC in the P.I sea.
