That would be awesome to finally get some good real time observations over there.

Looks like he is talking about the PRECIP project which will be conducted around Taiwan on May-August 2022 to study extreme rainfall in the Meiyu front, MCSs, and TCs. Taiwan/Japan and South Korea will each be deploying their own aircraft in addition to NOAA's. We'll probably see valuable observations regarding TC intensity too!

Surprised to see mainland China didn't participate in this, considering Mei-yu affects southeastern China too and the term Mei-yu itself is from Chinese.

Not a surprise given the geopolitical tension there. In fact that’s possibly a bigger hindrance to recon in the WPAC region than funding.

We are so sick and tired of you GFS. :lol: Go get some upgrade for next year.

Although the one that both the GFS and Euro are hinting to develop this week seems to be a real deal. Not sure if that's the currently active 93W. Still, there may be a chance Wanda won't be the last named tropical storm of 2021.

Super typhoon into the Philippines on the GFS :eek:
Looks like it's from a system behind 95W

The GFS’ WPac major starts developing on Sunday, and has a very similar track, timing, and genesis as Typhoon Bopha in 2012. That doesn’t mean it’ll suddenly blow up into a Cat 5 before landfall; it’s perhaps more likely that the GFS is once again being too aggressive, and this will be a weaker storm that takes longer to consolidate.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Yeah, a Cat5 in WPAC in December in a -ENSO would be crazy.

GFS keeps calling for Malakas. Malakas means strong. Other models don't see a new TC formation yet, in contrast with Rai models already saw it forming within 10 days.

So the WPac is unable to produce any storm stronger than a Cat 1 for two months, then has back-to-back Super Typhoons in December during a La Niña…what even is this season lol

Rai officially joins the club of La Niña late-season intense typhoons. Although I'm not sure if the ENSO state or the season had something to do with Rai's formation. To me it is just coincidental that the MJO has finally decided to become active in WPAC after a long period of lull. The westerly wind burst driven by the MJO resurgence is the one responsible for this.

GFS dropped the follow-up storm to Rai, and all the models are showing a quiet WPAC with a cold air outbreak coming sometime this week, which should keep the basin TC-free. I think it is safe to say that once Rai dissipates early next week, it would be a wrap for the 2021 Western Pacific Typhoon Season.

Unfortunaley the season had to end nasty with a destructive Cat5. 2 months ago it felt like it would be quiet all throughout the last quarter of the year.

It's still there on the latest runs but just a weak TS though.

Decent chance the WPAC gets some serious ACE courtesy of the CPAC in about 2 weeks.
