This is now a depression (BOB 0802).

It would actually be BOB03. There was already a BOB02 in June: http://www.webcitation.org/5YcBGMEsX

Plus, there seems to be no first advisory. The IMD begins with "BOB 02/2008/02".

[P.K.]

Fair enough, I must have missed that one. They've given this the wrong number then on this advisory.

it's not on the navy site... the navy sure is lazy this year in updating it's site... it doesn't even have TS Phanfone

[Chacor]

The Navy site is unofficial in these basins. The U.S. only officially covers the north Atlantic and north Pacific east of the dateline. This was previously 93B on NRL.

I don't know. I'd take the Navy site over the IMD anyday.

[Iune]

Still the IMD is still the RSMC.
