Formed on the 14th of August... more than one month ahead of the average date...

JTWC will be warning on the 22nd warned system.
According to NWS of the region, we are quite ahead usually not until Sep-Oct on normal that we see storms nearing the Marianas.

We're already up to 22 JTWC designated systems (including the crossover Hector). If things stay active as the monsoon trough begins to retreat south, ACE will begin to really rack up.
Doesn't the northern track for most of the systems an indicated of an el nino? Now we are seeing possibly an eastward shift in formation..

Re: 2018 WPAC Season
I've never heard of El Nino influencing storm genesis locations northward or southward, only eastward with respect to normal. In fact, just based on storm genesis locations of recent El Nino seasons, I suspect it may help the monsoon trough stay a little more south this time of year.

Re: 2018 WPAC Season
It's amazing to see that almost every new invest that pops up in the basin eventually gets named by JMA.

Re: 2018 WPAC Season
According to the JMA best track database, Soulik is the second earliest 19th storm in a typhoon season, behind Olive in 1971 (formed on July 30). But I'd argue that two or three more storms actually attained TS intensity but were not named by the JMA (e.g. 04W & 13W).
