Its a 5.0 because the medium or light grey convection isn't wide enough on the western side.

What strength is a T5.0?

About 90 knots or 105 mph.

uhm, what is going on with JMA?! I know we're not supposed to criticize any agency on this forum but i'm very perplexed at their persistence on classifying Pabuk as a STS and not a TY... i really hope they increase its intensity on the next warning as it looks like the system may be reaching its peak later today..

Nearly a Category 3 in my opinion.

IMO, JMA needs to look at a satellite image. They're making IMD look competent

I wonder what's going on at their office...
I can't imagine that NO ONE says: "Hey guys, don't you think it could be stronger than you believe?"

The JMA has been acting so bizarrely this year that anything won't surprise me right now 8-)

i think you can say that for just about every year.. :lol:

there's always a storm in a season that, for some bizarre reason, JMA will just be one-step behind with the warnings.. there was a storm last year which was never upgraded to a typhoon, same in 2011... etc. Pabuk is somewhat interesting because of the discrepancy with the intensities; i mean, JTWC is at a freaking Cat-2 intensity of 90kt whereas JMA is keeping it at 60kt... :roll:

Can we change the RSMC to JTWC, NHC, or even NWS Guam? :lol:

JMA making our season look bad and slow every year. To make it worse someone on wikipedia uses JMA stats. :lol: :roll:
Embarrassing.

Tokyo Advance Dvorak Technique has been showing T5.5 as Pabuk's peak intensity (normally a JMA 85 kts)

The thing is that although some of JMA's intensity estimates are as far from reality as they can be, they're still official and are therefore legitimately used on Wikipedia.
I posted a while ago in another thread that it would be best IMO if all basins in the world were officially monitored by an agency that is known to be reliable and trustworthy and that has the knowledge and resources to provide the public with informative advisories.
With the help of that, it would be much easier to compare intensities and to classify tropical cyclones instead of always having to calculate wind speeds between 1, 3, or 10 minute averages.

The JTWC is already doing a great job and if they also had the graphics like the ones the NHC publishes then IMO they should be the agency that acts as the RSMC in EVERY basin.

Dry air is one of the reasons why there were only three official typhoons so far...another reason is JMA itself... :lol:

NO NO NO! Good god NO!

JT has had many of the same issues as JMA this year. Plus, their forecasters simply do not have the same level of experience due to the military rotations to different assignments
