Although Shanshan was a naked swirl and its TS status is debatable, yeah it was a tropical storm. Also, the first named TS in January was a severe TS and reached 1-min sustained winds of 50kts, and I can't say that's weak.
I kinda miss the early May tropical cyclones in the SCS/WPAC...this time it seems that the next storm will form mid-June, maybe after the wet phase of the MJO crosses the Atlantic...

Re: 2013 WPAC Season
It looks like the WPAC will be active in the next few weeks and it began of course with Yagi as the MJO enters the basin.

Re: 2013 WPAC Season
Shanshan and Yagi were all significant typhoons back in 2006. 2013's Shanshan was a very disorganized system. Let's see if Yagi this year will end up being a weaker version compared to its 2006 counterpart.
I have a feeling that all insignificant names of tropical cyclones in 2006 will be the significant ones this year, and vice versa.
Btw it's interesting to see the next model runs from NOGAPS, NAVGEM and GFS...the last two were showing not one but two tropical cyclones forming next week..

2013 WPAC Season
Invest 99W has developed over the South China Sea between The Philippines and Vietnam. Guess the models are right.

Re: 2013 WPAC Season
Ominous SST anomalies in Wpac during first half of June, could well spell trouble over the next few months?!

Re: 2013 WPAC Season
Interesting setup in store for us next week. Models are showing TC formation east of PI and possibly could affect southern Japan. .and GFS is showing a developing system in SCS next week that could be stronger than the current invest that we have there.
The precipitation forecasts for SE Asia, especially the Philippines, look nasty though. The MJO is expected to come next week and the wet SW monsoon is getting active across SE Asia...these pretty much explain the expected conditions next week..

Re: 2013 WPAC Season
That SST graphic looks La Nina-ish given the warm waters are concentrated in or closer to SE Asia. Of course the Nino regions are looking cold right now.

Re: 2013 WPAC Season
our 5th tropical cyclone is here. Let's take a look at the Season ACE
6.6425
That's way below the climatology average of 35.
I sense a slow and usual season.

Re: 2013 WPAC Season
July is coming and we still don't have a typhoon. Wind shear has been so strong across SCS/WPAC this month, and though we have pretty warm waters west and east of PI, the shear would ultimately disrupt any potential howlers.
