2011 WPAC Season
Happy New Year everyone!
So how does everyone see the 2011 WPAC Season panning out? Already this year, here in Hong Kong, had very little if any rain for the last 3 months.

Well to be fair it could hardly be a slower season in the WPAC could it!

Re: 2011 WPAC Season
I'm searching for some TC predictions for 2011 but I saw none on how this season will likely turn out. Well, for the mean time, I am enjoying the cool and breezy weather here in Manila.
Especially during midnight, the temperature is so cool that I almost think I am in Baguio City. Baguio City in the Philippines is having extremely cold weather at the mean time and the vegetable farms out there are becoming frozen.
However, we experience unusual rains that can be heavy at times, well it is unusual to have that kind of rain here for the months of December and January. Extreme rainfall are being experienced by the areas at the southern and eastern side of the Philippines. As what the local reports say, there are various flashfloods and landslides happening. The La Niña episode is now making its presence felt. So far, we have started the year wet and cold. Now I wonder how this La Niña episode would affect the TC activity in the Western Pacific.

Hey Dexter, I'm visiting Manila in February. How are the nights then? I guess it depends on if there are any cold surges occurring or anything like that eh?
Any how I'll be putting some numbers out at westernpacificweather soon, but I think I want to keep looking into it instead of throwing some numbers out there.

Re: 2011 WPAC Season
@Rob, Manila weather is 18-27 deg at the most... mostly cloudy with drizzles over the last 2-3 weeks or so.
The WestPac has bottomed out so to say, and there is nowhere to go but up.
An active trend for TC formation (decade wise) is long overdue.

@ClarkEligue is right. Temperature in Manila is relatively cool, well I was already expecting that since the cool NE surge is usually at its peak from January to February. Light-passing drizzles also happen, but yesterday we had this heavy downpour that flooded many roads in the metro. It seems that these cool NE surge, frontal system, and the wet easterlies are causing cloudiness all over the country. At least, Manila is not too affected by the rains, but the eastern and southern portions of the archipelago experience bad weather conditions.

must be really cold then... i've never seen the 0C 850mb temps go down as far south as Taiwan before... 10C actually touching Northern Philippines... now granted, it doesn't necessarily mean the 10m temps will be that cold as well, but still amazing! ahhaha... temps should moderate though in the next few days...

Re: 2011 WPAC Season
My set of numbers for the 2011 WPAC season are 27/16/7. In my view of things right now,Weak La Nina to Neutral ENSO by the Northern Hemisphere Summer and Fall will influence the Western Pacific TC activity.

Had a very wet and windy end to January here, winds topping out at over 20 knots on a few days. Here's the Singapore Met Office report:
http://app2.nea.gov.sg/fortnightly_outlook.aspx
REVIEW 1-30 January 2011
1. Northeast Monsoon conditions prevailed during January 2011 with the low level winds over the region blowing from the northwest and northeast. The weather during this period was typical of the wet phase of the Northeast Monsoon which is characterised by heavy thundery showers in the afternoon as well as episodes of widespread rain caused by monsoon surges.
2. Singapore experienced heavy thundery showers in the afternoon and early evening on about six days in January, with the heaviest of these events registering a rainfall of 142 mm on 5 January. In addition, Singapore and the surrounding region were affected by two monsoon surges from 7-11 January and from 25 January to the end of the review period. A monsoon surge refers to the steady strengthening of northeasterly winds blowing from the South China Sea. Such spells of strengthening monsoon winds often bring prolonged widespread rain, occasionally windy conditions and cooler temperatures. The second surge was more intense and brought widespread moderate to heavy rain to Singapore on 26 Jan (86 mm), 28 Jan (66 mm), 29 Jan (66 mm) and 30 Jan (216 mm). The prolonged moderate to heavy rain on 30 January resulted in flooding in several parts of Singapore, particularly in the eastern part of the island.
3. All parts of Singapore received above average rainfall in January 2011. The highest rainfall of 515 mm to 560 mm (120% to 140% above average) fell over the eastern parts of the island around Changi and Pasir Ris. The central parts of Singapore around the city area received the lowest rainfall where 280 mm to 325 mm (20% to 40% above average) was recorded.
Our average monthly rainfall for January is 235 mm, and we got 216 mm in one day alone on Sunday (when it rained the entire day, non-stop).

Chacor. Kung Hei Fatt Choi.
Although dont have the data from HKO, here in HK the winter has been particular dry. I cant remember any decent rain for months, possibly 4 to 5 months. I would say we have had over 100+ dry days in the last 4 months. Also, feels it has been a colder winter as well, with tempertures reaching 1c in parts of HK over this winter.
These conditions for HK, Singapore and the unfortunate events that have and are occuring in Australia as a result of any particular climatic condition or event?

One climate event that is affecting worldwide weather is the Moderate to Strong La Nina that is right now in the Tropical Pacific.If the ENSO models are right,it should transition to Neutral by the Northern Hemisphere Summer. You can get more details about this at the ENSO Updates thread.

Re: 2011 WPAC Season
I am not too familiar with the WPAC so I ask, to that basin followers,at what date the earliest Tropical Cyclone formed? It looks very quiet out there at this moment.
