Late March of 2015, the WPAC was about to spawn the insane early-season Category 5 STY Maysak. But even before that, February saw Category 4 STY Higos.

Let's see if this year would try to reach the same level of insanity as 2015. Worth pointing out though that we already have two named TCs at this point.

Still nothing from the models although Euro AI is showing a cyclonic circulation by 3rd week but not really intensifying just a weak low.

I think by the second half of this year as El Niño matures, things will be very active and we are going to be tracking some strong typhoons.
