The JTWC originally anticipated Nesat to become a category 4 typhoon on the SSHS with winds exceeding 130 knots (240 km/h; 150 mph) (1-min sustained). However, this was expected to be brief as a decaying frontal boundary approached from the west and prompted the system to undergo an extratropical transition. [61] In Northern Luzon, Nock-ten poured down heavy rainfall becoming widespread flooding in the area. It became a tropical disturbance as it passed over the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. After passing Palau on December 15, both the JTWC and the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm and named it Washi. [98] However, the JMA continued to track the remnants as a weak tropical depression over the next few days until the system dissipated on August 15. [10] They also predicted that seven tropical cyclones would make landfall on Southern China, between May and December, compared with an average of five while predicting that six tropical cyclones during the whole year compared to an average of four tropical cyclones. [199], On September 26, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) started to monitor a weak tropical depression that had developed about 1,260 km (785 mi) to the northwest of Manila in the Philippines. [129] After landfall, Talas accelerated north at over 13 knots (24 km/h; 15 mph) and its central convection became significantly eroded and was displaced to the north-east as Talas was exposed to a very strong wind shear of over 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph) that made the LLCC very distorted and difficult to pin-point. [225][226] During that day the depression moved to the north-northwest, before the system dissipated during the next day. A total of 75,632 people were affected by the storm.[210]. Nalgae rapidly intensified on September 30, and attained category 4 super typhoon status early on October 1, just before making landfall over Luzon. [167] However, that was not for too long as vigorous convection persisted over the well defined LLCC with tightly curved banding wrapped in, Sonca continued to strengthen gradually and the JTWC reported winds of at least 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph) near the center. [140] However, the system stopped strengthening soon after as the LLCC became partially exposed and the convection was displaced to the south. [76] Nearby provinces like Calabarzon (Region IV-A) also suspended their classes. [222] The depression then degenerated into an area of low pressure during the next day, before it dissipated during June 2,. Tropical Storm Talas and Typhoon Roke made landfall over in Japan and were the most destructive since 2009. [5] Between three and five of the systems were predicted to affect Taiwan, compared to an average of around 3.6. 2004 – Typhoon Nanmadol, locally known as Yoyong, hits the Philippines and ShelterBox responds soon after. The next day, the JMA and JTWC upgraded the tropical depression into a tropical storm, with the JMA naming it Sarika. [217][218] The majority of the deaths were in the cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro. [citation needed] On August 19, a low pressure area developed east-northeast of Guam. After a few hours, the JTWC upgraded it to a tropical depression and designated as 26W. In some areas, up to 20 centimeters of rain fell in 24 hours. On October 7, the JTWC started monitoring a tropical disturbance that had developed in an area of low vertical windshear, about 750 km (465 mi) to the south of Hagåtña, Guam. While tracking through the Philippines, Banyan produced heavy rains across much of the country, leading to widespread flooding. [8] They also predicted that between seven and nine tropical storms would make landfall on China, with the first landing taking place before June 29 and the last landing taking place after October 7. [200] During that day, while the depression moved towards the northwest its low level circulation centre rapidly consolidated in an area of favourable conditions for further development of the system. Early on July 22, an area of low pressure formed to the east of Philippines. [236][237][238], On October 11, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed to the southeast of Hainan Island. [88] Early on August 6, the JTWC upgraded Merbok into a Category 1 typhoon 960 mi (1,540 km) east-southeast of Tokyo, Japan. Late on December 17, Washi crossed Palawan, and arrived at the South China Sea. Though there was a burst of convection at that time, both land interaction and vertical wind shear weakened the system into a tropical depression and the JTWC ceased their advisories. According to the TSR, an intense tropical cyclone is a tropical cyclone with maximum 1-minute sustained winds greater than 175 km/h (110 mph). Heavy rains from the storm's outer bands triggered significant flooding and landslides in South Korea. Fluctuations in intensity occurred over the next several days, before the JMA reported that the system had strengthened into a tropical storm on June 22, naming it Haima. [153] However, being located in an area of warm sea surface temperatures and low vertical wind shear, the depression continued to strengthen and on September 13, the JMA upgraded the depression to a tropical storm and named it Roke. On May 31, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed at the southern end of a shear line, about 420 km, (260 mi) to the southeast of Hong Kong, China. [91] On August 8, the system started accelerating northwards at a speed of 23 mph (37 km/h) and convection gradually diminished due to colder sea surface temperatures and unfavorable conditions. [51] Later the same day, the JMA reported that Nock-ten has exited the Luzon island at Candon maintaining severe tropical storm strength. [57], The provinces of Albay and Camarines were reported to be completely flooded by the rain. [177] As a result, the JMA upgraded Nesat to a severe tropical storm on September 25,. [122] Talas continued to strengthen and by midnight that day, it became a severe tropical storm. The JMA selected the names from a list of 140 names, that had been developed by the 14 members nations and territories of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. [citation needed]. [150] The next day, the depression drifted into the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and the PAGASA initiated advisories on the depression, naming it Onyok. However, because of a cold anomaly, the system only reached a maximum 1-min sustained wind speed of 115 knots (213 km/h; 132 mph). Tropical Storm Aere (Bebeng) then developed on May 5, and after causing PHP 2.25 billion in damage to Northeastern Luzon and Eastern Visayas, the name Bebeng was retired by PAGASA. The tropical depression reached peak intensity during midday, on December 11, as it was located over the center, of the South China Sea. [52] However, overnight, the storm rapidly weakened and the JMA downgraded it into a minor tropical storm the next day. Although first feared that Nalgae would cause much more damage to Luzon, which was severely affected by Typhoon Nesat, damage from the storm was not as anticipated to be lighter than Typhoon Nesat, which ironically is much weaker than Nalgae, but high winds and heavy rains from the storm caused widespread power outages and flooding that left many communities isolated. Talas was embedded in a baroclinic zone and the JTWC anticipated an extratropical transition, which prompted them to issue their final warning on the system. [102] Later that day, the PAGASA started monitoring the system as a tropical depression and named it Mina. The shear pushed convection approximately 70 km (43 mi) south of the LLCC. In 2011, typhoon Washi killed 1,200 people, displaced 300,000 and destroyed more than 10,000 homes. [176] Nesat continued to drift west with expanding deep convection around the entire system and consolidating convection around the LLCC. Late on August 19, an area of low pressure developed north of Palau. [157] Soon Roke started weakening as cloud tops started getting warmed up and eye diameter started to decrease. I talked with a resident of Quezon City, the largest city in the Philippines, about the damage. After the season the Typhoon Committee retired the name Washi from its naming lists, and in February 2012, it was subsequently replaced with Hato for future seasons. Striking the Philippines just days after Typhoon Nesat, Nalgae caused further damage across Luzon. On April 1, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed within an area of moderate vertical wind shear about 510 km (315 mi) to the southeast of Ho Chi Minh City in Southern Vietnam. After absorbing Tokage, Ma-on reached its peak intensity on July 16. [169] Later that day, Sonca developed a large 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) ragged eye with deep convective banding tightly wrapped into it. Several reports of confirmed fatalities arose but no details on how many were given to news agencies. At least 9,433 houses were destroyed while 18,616 were damaged. 10. [248], After the season the names Bebeng, Juaning, Mina, Pedring and Sendong were retired by PAGASA, as they had caused over 300 deaths and over Php1 billion in damages. The system also accelerated towards China at 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph) and weakened to a minimal tropical storm. [97] Later, the JTWC too issued their final warning on the system, reporting that it had moved into a subtropical ridge and was expected to dissipate into a remnant low. [180], Early on September 27, Nesat made landfall over the Luzon region of Philippines. 3 on Tropical Storm "Bebeng, "Typhoon Songda Nearing Tokyo Weakens to 'Extratropical Cyclone, "NDRRMC Update SitRep No. On July 11, the JTWC started to monitor a tropical disturbance that had developed within a poorly organized monsoon trough about 1,000 kilometers (620 mi) to the northwest of Hagatna, Guam. In 2011, typhoon Washi killed 1,200 people, displaced 300,000 and destroyed more than 10,000 homes. A total of 1,113,763 people were affected by the storm. Total losses in the country reached just over 115 million PHP (US$2.62 million).[207]. At 11:00 p.m. Manila time (15:00 UTC) on May 24, 2011, the U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) reported that Songda was located about 500 nautical miles (900 kilometers) east-southeast of Manila, Philippines. Last year 7 typhoons and tropical storms hit the Philippines. [194] Early the next day, the storm strengthened significantly that the JMA upgraded it to a tropical storm, naming it Haitang. Over the next couple of days, the disturbance moved towards the west and despite the system being in an area of low vertical wind shear, deep convection surrounding the system struggled to organize around the disturbances low level circulation center. [citation needed]. Over the next two days, Noru went through an extratropical transition before becoming an extratropical cyclone on September 6, about 1150 km (715 mi) to the northeast of Tokyo, Japan. Being located approximately 330 nautical miles (610 km; 380 mi) southwest of Yokosuka, Kanagawa, the typhoon accelerated north-northwestward at approximately 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) with winds of over 100 knots (190 km/h; 120 mph) (1-min sustained) being a Category 3 typhoon on the SSHS. Typhoon Nesat was the most powerful to strike China since 2005. [17], On March 30, the JMA began monitoring an area of low pressure located southwest of Yap. [154] On September 17, Roke developed a small, deep convective eye promoting the JMA to upgrade Roke to a severe tropical storm with winds of over 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph). Haiyan is the 24th such storm to batter the Philippines this year. Over the next couple of days the system gradually developed further, before late on June 16, the JMA, JTWC and PAGASA, all reported that the system had developed into a tropical depression, with PAGASA naming it as Egay. And this is despite the country being in many ways extremely well prepared, since they experience typhoons most years. Thus, the JTWC issued their final warning on the system reporting that the system was no longer tropical. 13 on Typhoon "Quiel" (Nalgae)", "Significant Tropical Weather Outlook for the Western and South Pacific Ocean 2011-10-07 06z", "RSMC Tropical Cyclone Best Track: Tropical Storm Banyan", "NDRRMC Update SitRep No. The Hong Kong Observatory only classified the tropical depression as a trough of low pressure is not to be ignored, while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center nor recognize this as a tropical disturbance. [66] Early on July 28, the JTWC upgraded the system into a Tropical Storm. World's strongest typhoon swirls towards Philippines ... to hit areas still recovering from a devastating storm in 2011 and from a 7.1-magnitude quake last month. During the season 21 tropical storms developed in the Western Pacific and each one was named by the JMA, when the system was judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph). That evening, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert. The 2012 typhoons will be here, Your email address will not be published. [121] Later that day, the JTWC followed suit and initiated advisories on Talas. [44] After making landfall on Fujian, China, it dissipated on the evening on July 10. [160] Only six hours later, the storm further weakened and accelerated northeastward at approximately 31 knots (57 km/h; 36 mph) with rapidly dissipating deep convection completely sheared to the northeast of the LLCC. The season was also much deadlier and destructive than the previous season. [239] During that day, the depression moved towards the northwest before the JMA issued their final advisory on the system. Agricultural losses are estimated at PHP1.37 billion (US$31.7 million). [citation needed]. In 2011, typhoon Washi killed 1,200 people, displaced 300,000 and destroyed more than 10,000 homes. [205] On that night, the PAGASA initiated advisories on Nalgae, giving it the local name Quiel, as it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). [223][224] On June 14, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed within an area of moderate vertical windshear, about 475 mi (764 km) to the southwest of Manila, Philippines. [5] Within its July forecast update, the GCACIC predicted that seven tropical cyclones would make landfall on Southern China, between July and December compared to an average of four and that there would now be 16 typhoons due to the strength of the India-Burma trough. [246] The Japan Meteorological Agency's RSMC Tokyo — Typhoon Center assigns international names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee, should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h, (40 mph). [96] Initially, the JMA predicted the system to strengthen into a tropical storm, but on August 11, as it moved further north into cool waters and unfavourable conditions, the JMA issued their final advisory. But Okinawa and later Miyagi got the full impact of this super typhoon with wind-speeds up to 195 km/h or 120 mph. At least 9,433 houses were destroyed while 18,616 were damaged. [208] Over the next couple of days the system gradually developed further while moving towards the west, before the JMA reported on October 9, that the disturbance had developed into a tropical depression. At least nine people were killed and three others were reported missing across the country. The center was 460 km (290 mi) north of Basco, Batanes. Late on May 21, both the JMA and the JTWC reported that the depression had now become a tropical storm with the JMA naming it as Songda. [198] The JMA tracked Haitang as a tropical depression until it finally dissipated inland Vietnam early on September 27,. An average of 20 typhoons slam into the Philippines every year. The season ran throughout 2011, though most tropical cyclone tend to develop between May and October.

On June 22, both the JTWC and the JMA upgraded Falcon into a tropical storm, and the JMA named it Meari. The system approached land at nearly 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). The typhoon was formed close to the equator with a minimum latitude of 7.4°N and arrived at land on December 3, 2012. A tropical depression gradually drifted north and early on August 10, the JTWC started monitoring the system as a tropical depression and designated it 13W. However, within hours of this, the depression became devoid of convection as wind shearbuffeted the system. By the evening of September 27, at-least 7 people were reported to be killed and most of them in metropolitan Manila, a place already battered by heavy monsoonal rains. [170] As a result, Sonca strengthened more rapidly and by early the next day, it became a typhoon. On December 11, a disturbance formed and persisted near Chuuk. The JTWC also followed suit, by upgrading it to a tropical storm again. [192] Later that day, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert stating that the low could develop into a tropical cyclone. Not strong winds but heavy rains killed lots of people and created big losses. Within the Northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies who assign names to tropical cyclones which can often result in a cyclone having two names. Animated infrared satellite imagery depicted that the storm was expanding in size and convective banding continued to move further and further away from the LLCC. The Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine National Police, and the Philippine Coast Guard were all placed on standby to deploy to areas struck by Aere once the storm passed. [53] However, on July 29, the storm gradually regained strength and approached south China coast at Qionghai, China. At least 13 people were killed in the country and an estimated 400,000 had to be evacuated around Tokyo alone.[37][38]. On the same day, the JTWC upgraded the low pressure to a tropical depression and designated as 27W; in addition, the JMA also upgraded it to a tropical depression. [166] In the begging, Sonca seemed to have intensified rapidly since formation, however, soon the storm weakened back to a minimal tropical storm because of dry air entering the LLCC that caused it to elongate and weaken. [232] On August 22, the system started interacting with an anticyclone and was exposed to a strong vertical wind shear, prompting the JMA to stop monitoring the system as a tropical depression, as the system dissipated to a remnant low. [163] Later on September 14, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on the system reporting that the system could intensify into a tropical storm within 24 hours from then. On October 2011, the JMA upgraded Talas as a typhoon in post-analysis. Late on July 23, an area of low pressure formed to the southeast of Chuuk. The flash flooding occurred overnight, following 10 hours of rain, compounded by overflowing rivers and tributaries. Officials said that despite government warning, some people did not evacuate. On July 17, the JMA downgraded the tropical depression to a low pressure. Though the weakening, Water vapour imagery showed that the typhoon was still maintaining excellent outflow towards the equator and improving outflow towards the pole. During the early morning of May 12, the JMA downgraded Aere to a tropical depression while south of Kyushu Island as it became a weak extratropical cyclone. 8. Haitang was also a slow-mover, moving westward at only 3 knots (5.6 km/h; 3.5 mph). [182] Though the system has maintained overall central deep convection, subsidence persisted along the northwest quadrant which caused further drop in wind speed. [23] This intensification prompted the National Weather Service (NWS) in Tiyan, Guam to issue a tropical storm warning for the islands of Agrihan, Pagan and Alamagan. [247] While the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N-25°N even if the cyclone has had an international name assigned to it. Over the next couple of days, the system gradually intensified further while moving northwest into PAGASA's area of responsibility. [nb 1][1] In early April, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) predicted that between 24 and 26 tropical storms would develop or move into the basin during the year, which it noted was higher than the previous total of 14. [110] Late on August 28, Nanmadol made its second landfall over Taimali in the Taitung County of Taiwan and started weakening. [130] On September 5, the JMA issued their final warning on the system, reporting that Talas has become extratropical on the Sea of Japan.[131][132].
