#Anggrek is intensifying over the far open southeast Indian Ocean. It is developing an Annular like appearance with wrapping deep convection and an improving/clearing eye. It is likely to become a major cyclone, while staying away from land racking up the ACE units.

This is crazy. #Freddy in 2009 formed at a similar time, similar area and was on similar track and never became above TS and died out in the AUSR-SWIO crossover area (historically brutal for TCs similar to E. CAR). Freddy 2023 is doing what 2009 couldn’t. This story is so wild

#Ilsa appears to now be at its best attempt yet of clearing its small eye. If this eye is able to warm and clear before landfall, Dvorak estimates will raise considerably and the intensity will rise further before landfall. Could be knocking on doorstep of a C5 if all goes well.

#Shanshan is setting up to become a strong and impactful Typhoon for mainland Japan in about 4 days. It is now officially a Typhoon by the JTWC, the 5th of 2024, and the 3rd in the last 2 weeks. Although some shear is present now, it is expected to be replaced with a robust jet

The Western Pacific is also at record levels when it comes to Ocean Heat Content (OHC). La Niña forces all the warmth in the Pacific further West, into the WPAC. Minus the northern extent due to it being July, this year is warmer than even peak 2010 OHC levels, which produced a

#Yagi is now forecast by JTWC to STRENGTHEN to a Cat 4 prior to its Vietnam landfall near #Haiphong . This would be a catastrophic scenario for Haiphong Vietnam. But with the outer eye-wall becoming more organized with little remaining of the inner, and warm 32C SSTs and light

Not what I would’ve expected to see on August 21st in a La Niña to see both Pacific basins both active and Atlantic totally quiet. I don’t doubt September will ramp up, but I am SLIGHTLY beginning to question some of these seasonal predictions, especially Named Storm wise.

The current structure of #Yagi is very classic of RI. With a developing, well organized CDO and a clearing eye on visible with a strong banding feature, which is an indication of high moisture inflow supply, high ocean heat content and high thermodynamic potential. Besides an

#Freddy has started to developed a curved banding feature in the face of strong vertical wind shear. Conditions haven’t even improved yet. This leans credibility towards models that show re intensification prior to landfall.
