On this day in 2004 Typhoon Nanmadol made landfall in Luzon. Even tho the storm had weakened considerably from its peak intensity as a Super Typhoon (JTWC), it still packed a punch. 70 people perished and damages amounted to 39.3 Million dollars (67 mil in todays money). #OTDwx

By now I am late to the party that Senyar has made history by crossing the Malay Peninsula from the west. JMA lists it as a TD at the moment but it is forecast to become a tropical storm again. JMA seems to treat it like a new system, so I assume they'll re-name it to Nokaen.

Update: Koto is basically dead already😂

Invest 96B near Sri Lanka has been put under Tropical Cyclone formation alert by JTWC and labelled as a depression by IMD. The next name is Ditwah. It's likely to develop into a tropical storm under marginally favourable conditions as it stays near the (S)E coast of India.

Koto has steadily strengthened and has now become a typhoon according to both JMA and JTWC. Koto features a somehwat assymetrical CDO, possibly already due to shear. Core is likely partial via MW. The environment is expected to deterioate tomorrow, likely causing weakening.

With tropical storm 04B (still TD by IMD standards) a rare tropical Cyclone has formed in the straight of Malacca and only within 5° of the Equator, which is remarkable in and of itself. It won't be long for this worl but its mere existence is quite meteorologically remarkable

JMA has now also designated the system currently crossing out of the Sulu Sea & named it Koto (VerbenaPH). Some strengthening is expected but shear should begin to become unfavourable tomorrow. Koto also likely to get into a steering col by Thursday & may not reach the coast of Vietnam by weeks end.

The system moving through the Phillipines (VerbanaPH) has now been designated as a tropical depression by JTWC. While the system is forecast to become a brief typhoon in the South China sea, it is not expected to effect land as such and may not even reach land in the next 5 days. Next name: Koto
