Very impressive... West Pacific typhoons are very fascinating.

This should become a Super Typhoon soon.

So far this prediction I made is holding up good. It's close now to Super Typhoon Strength. However, if this is not a Super Typhoon already, then what is? It has everything as far as I can tell. The very cold cloud tops are now there so what's left?

This is a very powerful storm and the eye is much better looking now. If it continues this strengthening just a bit longer it will officially become a Super Typhoon.

Now it's there. So far, I see no signs of shear anywhere. What are your thoughts on this system now?

It looks like it's starting to be affected by shear on it's northern side.

Well it is not actually possible to officially become a supertyphoon but yes this is a very powerful storm. http://severe.worldweather.wmo.int/tc/wnp/acronyms.html

What do you mean it's not possible? Of course it's possible. Also, what is that link for anyways?

It could reach ST status based on the JTWC forecast, nevertheless, the JTWC is not the official source but the JMA. The JMA uses 10-min, which means, for example, a 114 knots 1-min system is a 100 knots 10-min system. Therefore, for a system to reach ST status under the JMA regulations, it will have to be a very intense system.

130 knots 1-min = 148.2 knots 10-min

That's the minimum requirement for a system to reach ST status.

Yeah, I only go by the JTWC because I don't like the JMA for these. Well, it's a shame that the JMA is the official source since I believe they aren't correct for most systems. The 10-min thing I dislike a bit as well. But it's possible for this system to totally go wild and officially become a ST by the JMA if it rapidly deepens some more. That's why I said it's possible since anything is possible.

It is for the World Meteorological Organisation [WMO] page on tropical cyclones. It basically contains all the offical classifications, names, advisories etc. It is an excellent page to have bookmarked.

The ten minute average (At a height of ten metres) is just the global standard used by the majority of countries. What wind average does Environment Canada use? I've had a look but can't find if it is a ten minute or one minute value.

It looks like it peaked around 130 knots base on my est. Maybe 135 those cold cloud tops where darn close to cat5.

Almost looked like Wilma with the thick ring of -80+ cloud tops. However Wilma had the ring around the whole eye not just part of the eye like this one has.

On Unisys, this is now a Super Typhoon like I predicted. It looks different right now for some reason. The eye looks like Wilma's but only a bit bigger. All I know is it's not weakening right now.

Oh and I don't think it has peaked yet.
