That time of year is approaching again, and I just checked to see if my CWB and JTWC bookmarks still work. Surprise! There’s one out there already, Typhoon YUTU: ![](http://www.cwb.gov.tw/V5e/typhoon/Data/PTA/AllTyph_Eng.jpg) Are we in for a good season? ---

I only like to hear about typhoons if they have day-off potential. ---

This list contains words of so diverse meanings – such as animals, plants, and natural phenomena – that preference to human names do not remain any more. Japan Meteorological Agency, for example, proposed names after constellations. Asian names are sorted according to the alphabetical name of countries, so typhoon names themselves are not arranged in an alphabetical order.

And for how long has the CWB forecast been completely wrong? Pessimists… According to them, it has been pouring for two whole weeks. [http://www.cwb.gov.tw/V5e/index.htm](http://www.cwb.gov.tw/V5e/index.htm) I’m getting much more accurate weather predictions from the Google weather link on my home page… spot on for the last month. ---

Come on now, it’s not even a typhoon and it’s nowhere near Taiwan. Drama queens 😒 ---

It’s dissipating, but yesterday it was a typhoon. > [@](#): > > It reached its peak on the evening of May 20, as a strong Category 4-equivalent typhoon, just short of becoming a super typhoon. And it’s not the start of the season yet. They already had a hurricane in the Atlantic too, and experts there are forecasting a bumper year: [quote]On December 8, 2006, Klotzbach’s team issued its first extended-range forecast for the 2007 season, predicting above-average activity (14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, 3 of Category 3 or higher). On April 3 a new forecast was issued, calling for a very active hurricane season of 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes and 5 intense hurricanes.[/quote] I found a forecast for the US side of the Pacific, but nothing for Asia. Anybody? > [@](#): > > On May 22, 2007, NOAA released their forecast for the 2007 Eastern Pacific hurricane seasons. They predicted a below-normal level of activity in the Eastern Pacific, with 12 to 16 named storms, of which 6 to 9 were expected to become hurricanes, and 2 to 4 expected to become major hurricanes. ---

OK, i believe the rain forecast today. Google and CWB both got it right for once. Another good typhoon site is the Tropical Storm Risk indicator. Much nicer interface than the JTWC. They say about themselves: Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) offers a leading resource for forecasting the risk from tropical storms worldwide. The venture provides information and innovative forecast products to benefit risk awareness and decision making in (re)insurance, other business sectors, government and society.
