#1 Postby Typhoon10 » Mon Jan 04, 2010 12:14 am

Last year was a interesting year which quite a few strong systems. How do we predict 2010 will shape up?

Am now back in HK and looking forward to my 1st T8/9/10 :D

It'll probably be like last year due to this winter's El Nino.

I moved the thread to this forum as for sure replies will come.

If El Nino fades as the ENSO models predict,the 2010 season will be little less active than in 2009 that had 37 Tropical Cyclones.

Don't seasons that follow an El Nino tend to be quieter in the WPAC?

I forgot, just for a moment, that you were talking about the WPAC, not the Atlantic. :eek: :lol:

Post Niño seasons in WPAC tend to start off slow and end up with fewer than average numbers overall.

I think this season will not be that active compared to last season.

I don't know if it is just me, but it seems that whenever there is an active season, the next season coming up tends to be less severe in terms of the number of cyclones forming and making landfall. 2004 season is an active season (remarkable storms were the last 4 devastating disturbances making landfall in just a span of 2 weeks: ty unding/muifa, ts violeta/merbok, td winnie and sty yoyong/nanmadol) then 2005 turned out to be just OK for cyclones. 2006 season was also an active one, with memorable storms like paeng/cimaron, xangxane/milenyo and reming/durian, then the 2007 season became not much as active as the previous season,but there is one super typhoon formed during that year, i think it was sty sepat/egay, and it made landfall on taiwan but not on its peak strength.

Steve, I think we are seeing that evolve as April was quiet without a TC. What are the averages of named storms,typhoons and major typhoons in the WPAC?

Seems to be something of a slow start out there in the WPAC at the moment though I could be mistaken, the WPAC isn't my strong point really!

Dont know if anyone posted this but Typhoons Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma) had their names retired after they both caused over 300 deaths and 1 billion PHP worth of damage in the Philippines.

It continues very quiet in the basin after the first storm almost two months ago.
