An area of interest is expected to arrive in Taiwan early this week, but is not expected to strengthen much. However, the rain weary island could receive moderate amounts of further rainfall as the system drifts over.

Elsewhere, more areas of interest are attempting to form across the Pacific ocean, with what may finally be the Eastern Pacific's first hurricane on the horizon, currently situated near El Salvador. With a 60% chance of development, the system is expected to put an end to our very slow start in the region, and another storm could form behind it. The good news is that none of the Eastern Pacific potential storms are expected to affect land.

In the Atlantic, a non-tropical low is forming off Cape Cod, and has a small chance of becoming a subtropical storm. Meanwhile, an area of interest in the main development region could strengthen as it reaches the Lesser and Greater Antilles later in the week.

Tropical Storm Gaemi continues to churn as it heads well inland over China, and its enormous influence is still dumping rain in southern Taiwan, as well as in the Hong Kong and Guangdong regions. The center of Gaemi is located over Jiangxi, and is expected to tear apart over the next 48 hours as some of its clouds lift northwards. Storm force winds are possible across coastal regions until then.

Tropical Storm Bud has collapsed, and is now a remnant low in the Eastern Pacific.

Two areas of interest in the Atlantic could develop next week, with one of these near the coast of New England. Signs of development may present themselves as early as this weekend from a frontal system in the area.

In the Eastern Pacific, an area of interest may become a strong hurricane late next week, whilst an area of interest in the Central Pacific is being watched and may potentially break the almost five-year storm drought in that area.

In the Western Pacific, Invest 95W could develop near the Philippines and again head towards Taiwan, where storm conditions are possible as well as up to 200mm of further rainfall.

Typhoon Gaemi made landfall near Fuzhou, China earlier today, and is now tracking well inland near Nanping. The storm will gradually weaken tonight and into tomorrow, but winds will remain elevated near the coast due to the storm's enormous influence. Over 1100mm of rain has fallen in Taiwan, with another 500mm possible in the coming days. Another area of interest could form near the Philippines this weekend and also head towards the region.

In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Bud has strengthened, but is on borrowed time as a weakening trend is expected to begin soon.

Areas of interest in the Atlantic and Central Pacific bear watching over the next few days.

Typhoon Gaemi currently has winds near 140 miles per hour and could strengthen a little more before nearing the coast of Taiwan. Landfall is expected during the day on Wednesday, and some weakening could occur before then. Weakening will become more pronounced as it moves through Taiwan and enters the Taiwan Strait and moves on to the coast of China later in the week. Rainfall of up to 1500mm is expected over the Taiwanese mountains.

Prapiroon became the first typhoon of the current phase of activity in the Western Pacific, somewhat unexpectedly, and could strengthen a little more in the small amount of time it has before it makes landfall in northern Vietnam, near Ha Long. The storm has also turned much further west of earlier forecasts, and is now expected to continue to run westwards into northern Vietnam and into the rest of Indochina. Rainfall is expected to exceed 400mm.

Tropical Storm Gaemi is much larger, and is intensifying more slowly as it tries to consolidate its core. However, strengthening is expected to resume shortly and Gaemi should become a typhoon soon, and continue intensifying towards major typhoon status. Gaemi is expected to make landfall in Taiwan on Wednesday or Thursday and could still be a Category 3 by that point. Rainfall is the primary concern from the storm, with totals possibly reaching 1500mm in the southern half of the mountains. Additionally, a further 500mm is expected in northwestern Luzon, which is already flooding.

Elsewhere, an area of interest in the Eastern Pacific could become a tropical depression or storm later in the week as it slides westwards, but is not expected to contain any strength by the time it reaches Hawaii next week.

22/07/2024

Tropical Storm Gaemi is strengthening this morning, and is expected to become a typhoon later in the day. With the Japan Meteorological Agency already declaring typhoon status, further strengthening is likely to ensure that all estimates are on board with the upgrade. Gaemi is expected to wobble as it heads northwards slowly at first, before speeding up as it nears Taiwan and the southernmost islands of Japan. There remains disagreement between models on whether the storm will then curl squarely into the coast of Taiwan, or continue northwards towards the east coast of China.

Rainfall is expected to be the primary factor of the storm, with totals of over 900mm expected in northwestern Luzon and on Taiwan. Strong winds will spread across the region as well, with the whole island of Taiwan likely to be swallowed up by tropical storm force winds. Gaemi could become a high-end Category 2 or Category 3 major typhoon as it nears its landfall.

21/07/2024

Tropical Storm Gaemi, named Carina by the Philippines, is moving slowly off the east coast of the Philippines, and is only intensifying slowly at the moment due to high wind shear. More rapid strengthening is expected as it pushes northwards in a couple of days and affect the coast of Taiwan and the southernmost Ryukyu islands of Japan. The Batanes islands may also see storm conditions. Gaemi could become a major typhoon before it curves back towards the northwest and pummels the coast of northern Taiwan. Rainfall on the island could exceed 900mm, as well as on the northwestern coast of Luzon as a byproduct of both storms.

Tropical Storm Prapiroon will make landfall overnight on the island of Hainan, China, and will then slink into the Gulf of Tonkin and may curve further east before stalling inland along the coast. Some strengthening is possible, before gradual weakening takes hold on Tuesday.

The Eastern Pacific still shows weak signals, with two areas of interest in the lower latitudes and one which is entering the Central Pacific soon. Development is ultimately still not expected

20/07/2024

Tropical Storm Gaemi was named early today in the Philippine Sea, and is heading northwestwards. Gaemi is expected to become a typhoon early next week and could impact Taiwan and the southern Ryukyu islands as a powerful storm. The storm's wide windfield will then swing towards the east coast of China, giving Shanghai strong tropical storm force winds. Rainfall expectations have decreased a little in Taiwan due to a forecast track shift, whilst in the Philippines and China rainfall totals could reach 500mm.

Tropical Storm 04W also formed earlier today and is still awaiting a name from the Japanese Meteorological Agency. The storm could strengthen quickly and be a borderline typhoon by the time it reaches Hainan on Monday or Tuesday.

Elsewhere, an area of interest in the Eastern Pacific may still have a chance of developing, with model support increasing slightly since yesterday for late next week.

- has developed into a tropical depression by our estimates, and is now named by Dost_pagasa. It is expected to continue west-northwestward and become a significant typhoon as it approaches .

19/07/2024

A potent area of interest 600 kilometers east of the Philippines is expected to become a significant tropical cyclone as it heads northwestwards. The potential storm could rapidly intensify east of Luzon and strengthen further as it nears Taiwan and the southernmost islands of Japan. A super typhoon cannot be ruled out.

Another area of interest west of the Philippines is also starting to look better, and could become a weak tropical storm as it heads towards Hainan and southern mainland China.

Elsewhere, areas of interest are still active in the Eastern Pacific but have a very low chance of formation.

- The JTWC has issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on Invest , meaning the system now has a high chance of formation within the next 24 hours. If it does form, the next name on the PAGASA naming list is .

Areas of interest continue to linger across the western Pacific ocean, although none of them have so far managed to reach tropical cyclone status in this active phase. However, chances are increasing for Invest 92W, located to the north of Palau. This system is expected to intensify into a typhoon if it forms, stall off the east coast of the Philippines, and then swirl towards Taiwan and China.

Invest 91W is also active, entering the South China Sea from the Philippines, and is expected to travel towards Hainan island as a weak disturbance, and possibly become a tropical depression.

Other areas of interest in the Eastern Pacific appear to have given up, and formation chances are now very low.

Despite Hurricane Beryl at the start of the month, 2024 continues its extremely slow progress, and is now 10 storms behind even the quietest seasons of the satellite era at this point of the year.

not likely to form before reaching land, but will have plenty of opportunities once it emerges to the South China Sea. Rainfall warnings currently in effect; consult with your PRSD
A 20% area of interest remains near the Marianas

15/07/2024

An area of interest near the Philippines could become a brief tropical cyclone as it pushes through Mindanao and the Visayas region, and could develop further or contribute to another tropical cyclone in the South China Sea later in the week. In an uncertain pattern, high precipitation is likely regardless of development, with maximums of 400mm possible along the west facing shorelines of the South China Sea.

The tropical disturbance that was already over the South China Sea has moved inland over Vietnam, and was designated Tropical Depression 03W by the JTWC last night despite lacking a significant structure. The system is set to dissipate soon as rainfall continues over Laos and Thailand.

A third area is currently being watched in the open Pacific, and could develop into a typhoon late in the week as it turns northwards and could eventually threaten Japan, China, and Korea.

In the Eastern Pacific, chances have increased a little for a potential tropical cyclone over the open ocean, whilst a new system could form near the southeastern coast of Mexico late this week or at the weekend. The Eastern Pacific is now suffering from its slowest start since 1948.

14/07/2024

Areas of interest are popping up all across the Western Pacific this weekend, with two particular disturbances being closely monitored at this time.

An area of interest is currently pulling towards the coast of Vietnam, and while it is showing signs of having a low level circulation, the upper levels are not favourable so far. This system has a 50% chance of becoming a tropical depression, and is not likely to reach storm status as it passes near Vietnam and Hainan, China.

Another area of interest near the Philippines is expected to push through the Visayas region in the next few days, and could become a tropical storm as it does so. With a 60% chance of development, the best conditions for this system lie after it passes through the islands and into the South China Sea, where it could ramp up to typhoon status.

A third area is currently being watched in the open Pacific, and could develop into a typhoon late in the week as it turns northwards and could eventually threaten Japan, China, and Korea.

In the Eastern Pacific, chances have increased a little for a potential tropical cyclone over the open ocean, and could make a run for hurricane status late in the week. However, it will not affect land.
