Below is the TIROS-3 satellite image of the unnamed September 12-15, 1961 tropical storm that impacted the East Coast of the United States on September 12 near the #Bahamas, as a tropical depression.

No deaths tallied, but strong winds downed trees and power lines.

The last tropical cyclone to be named in the Central Pacific is in 2024, when Tropical Depression #One-C was named as Tropical Storm #Hone on August 26. It later strengthened to a hurricane and brushed #Hawaii.

After that is back to 2019, with Tropical Storm #Ema on October 12.

And... the streak for a tropical cyclone being named in the Central Pacific basin will continue this year!

Tropical Depression #One-C formed at 09:00 UTC on July 27, far southeast of #Hawaii. Current forecasts call for the system to intensify steadily to Tropical Storm #Iona today!

#DantePH has strengthened to a tropical storm inside PAR, now bearing the name #Francisco (right). The LPA near the #Ilocos Region has also intensified to a tropical depression, with the PAGASA naming it #EmongPH (left).

Both are influencing the southwest monsoon in the Philippines.
