July
We haven't made a header on this yet, but we might as well now. Also, in case you haven't seen it yet, I've made the SHem forums and betting pools for next year, if you're bored and wanted to bet on something...the hall of fame also still has room open for inductees on the SHem basins.

92W.INVEST
Just as Maria becomes post-tropical, we have an invest with a low chance from JTWC. -- Roy 25  19:52, July 11, 2018 (UTC)

 * Code red, TCFA issued. ~ KN2731 {talk} 04:04, July 14, 2018 (UTC)

This may hit the Philippines in the coming days. Highly likely to be named Henry by PAGASA, but I am not yet 100% sure if it will become Son-Tinh. And you're possibly correct KN, 94W may have merged with 92W. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 04:52, July 14, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah, this should be Henry and probably Son-Tinh. Hopefully it's nothing destructive or deadly over the next several days. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  05:11, July 15, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 11W (Henry)
JMA, PAGASA & the JTWC all upgraded this to a TD. May become Son-Tinh sooner or later. It also turns out that 94W did not merge with 92W/11W, since the former reappeared in JTWC's website. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 21:32, July 15, 2018 (UTC)
 * Expected to intensify to a strong tropical storm, skirt northern Philippines, and affect Hainan and Vietnam in the long run. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  22:41, July 15, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Son-Tinh (Henry)
Now named Son-Tinh. It probably would be weak as it forecast to pass the Philippines and into China and Vietnam. -- Roy 25  02:23, July 17, 2018 (UTC)
 * It has actually passed through the northernmost part of the Philippines already. It is heading towards northern Vietnam/southern China now. However, the monsoon intensified due to this storm; several areas in the main island (Luzon) are now inundated by flood waters, although these floods remain below the waist as of the moment. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 04:46, July 17, 2018 (UTC)
 * Son-Tinh is moving westwards really fast. Might be interaction with 93W or the center reforming westwards under the thunderstorms, can't really tell. ~ KN2731 {talk} 14:03, July 17, 2018 (UTC)

 * Nop, I have never seen something like this actually in the Wpac. usually when they cross into Vietnam and Laos they died, have never seen one coming back into the gulf of Tonkin. AllanCalderini21 (talk) 08:47, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Son-Tinh/11W
And it re-intensified to a TD. Wow, WPac is going nuts right now. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 22:40, July 21, 2018 (UTC)


 * I've never seen a TS move over land in Vietnam or southern China then move eastward over the South China Sea or Gulf of Tonkin before. If it's not a first then it must be the first in a long time. But Son-Tinh isn't expected to get too strong and hopefully won't cause severe impacts to the region. At least 19 people were killed by Son-Tinh so far and damage totaled to around 50 million or so. Ryan1000 18:24, July 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * Not me either! Son-Tinh is not expected to significantly re-intensify though as it moves back towards Vietnam. I don't think anyone expected it to go back out to sea and redevelop. What a shocker this is. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  19:19, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Son-Tinh (2nd time)

 * And PAGASA says that this is likely to become a tropical depression within 48 hours. Inday is coming. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 04:48, July 17, 2018 (UTC)

JMA Tropical Depression
And just like 93W below, this has intensified to a TD, at least according to JMA. This will become Inday, but becoming Ampil is still uncertain at this point, though it is most likely to overtake 93W if it happens. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 05:07, July 17, 2018 (UTC)


 * Global models are now agreeing on a weak to moderate typhoon passing near or north of Taiwan and into China about a week later, which is unfortunately right where Typhoon Maria hit some time ago. ~ KN2731 {talk} 14:07, July 17, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 12W
JTWC upgrades 94W to a TD; expected to be named Inday by PAGASA. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 20:45, July 17, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 12W (Inday)
Now named by PAGASA. Forecast to become TS Ampil later on. Currently indirectly drenching Luzon with heavy rains via the southwest monsoon, similar to what Maria/Gardo and Son-Tinh/Henry did in the past 10 days. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 03:24, July 18, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Ampil (Inday)
Upgraded by PAGASA and JMA to a TS. Still a TD on JTWC though. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 16:39, July 18, 2018 (UTC)
 * JTWC has now upgraded it to a TS. Expected to threaten Shanghai while approaching typhoon strength. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  06:38, July 19, 2018 (UTC)

Ampil is currently expected to be a moderately strong 60 mph TS when it moves ashore south of Shanghai in a few days. The cold wake left behind by Super Typhoon Maria 2 weeks ago is in part to blame for it's lower intensity, though it's also a fairly large and broad TS, which should keep it from becoming too strong. It'll certainly be a heavy rain and flood threat to parts of eastern China though, so it could be a notable storm down the road. Ryan1000 12:06, July 19, 2018 (UTC)


 * It's been about a day since my above post, and now Ampil seems to be devoid of all its deep convection. Still forecast to hit Shanghai, but as a weaker storm and it might not cause that much flooding to the city at this point. Ryan1000 15:42, July 20, 2018 (UTC)


 * It appears that Ampil will peak as a severe tropical storm. However, this still may cause damage. TS-strength systems in the WPac are known to cause considerable damage in China, best example would be Bilis in 2006. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 15:50, July 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * The thing about Ampil though, is unlike Bilis it has lost most of its deep convection and now only has a small portion of it to the southeast of the circulation. That's not to say there can't be heavy flooding associated with it when it hits near Shanghai (hopefully there isn't), but Bilis had a lot more convection attached to it, which explains its severe impacts; in fact Bilis was even worse than Cat 5 Saomai in China later that year, in both loss of life and property. Ryan1000 02:23, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

Ampil has moved ashore in China around or just north of Shanghai as a tropical storm, but has lost most of it's convection by now. Hopefully it won't be too severe for them. Ryan1000 13:04, July 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * This was kind of a disappointment intensity-wise, but at least it didn't get too strong due to its threat to China. Unless this is a flooding disaster, I don't think this will be too bad. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  19:22, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Ampil

Near/over Hainan island, code yellow. ~ KN2731 {talk} 04:04, July 14, 2018 (UTC)
 * Up to medium, but shouldn't become anything much due to unfavourable conditions. ~ KN2731 {talk} 04:10, July 15, 2018 (UTC)
 * Considering land proximity and unfavorable environmental conditions, I doubt it will significantly develop/organize. Still looks like a flooder though, hopefully it's nothing deadly. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  05:13, July 15, 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, JTWC's wording now says the environment has improved. A TD is possible. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  22:45, July 15, 2018 (UTC)

JMA Tropical Depression
Scratch what I have said earlier. This is actually upgraded to a TD by JMA. It is still in the Gulf of Tonkin. The race for Ampil – which replaced Bopha – is on. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 04:59, July 17, 2018 (UTC)


 * JTWC killed it completely. Son-Tinh's rapid approach of the area probably means this isn't going to do much at any rate. ~ KN2731 {talk} 14:09, July 17, 2018 (UTC)

Remnants of JMA Tropical Depression
Appears that JMA has also killed it, as the only TD in the area (on JMA's weather map) is the remnants of Son-Tinh. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  06:40, July 19, 2018 (UTC)

96W.INVEST
Code yellow on JTWC. Has a lot of ocean ahead of it though. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 15:45, July 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * Medium chance of formation now. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 07:37, July 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * Now has a high chance of forming from JTWC. Wow the WPAC activity is rising. -- Roy 25  16:42, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 15W
Formed into a depression, with that, now there are 5 active depressions in this basin. -- Roy 25  03:48, July 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * May peak as a Category 1-equivalent typhoon later this week. This may be Wukong (or Jongdari, or perhaps even Shanshan?) if conditions turn out to be very conducive for development. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 04:19, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

This could be something to watch out for, the current JTWC forecast takes this towards Japan as a typhoon down the road, but the other two storms (13W, or Josie, and 14W), aren't expected to do much. Ryan1000 13:04, July 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * The WPac is on fire!!! 😲 Out of all the systems, this is perhaps the most concerning one. Like Ryan said this will be a typhoon threat to Japan, and JTWC takes it up to 85 knots (although it could get stronger than that). ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  19:25, July 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Still not visible on JMA's typhoon page, but this is likely to be nicknamed as "TD b" as 13W is "TD a" and 14W is "TD c". Anyway, this is brewing to become a significant storm for Japan and the rest of (north) east Asia, based on the JTWC forecast track. May also enhance the southwest monsoon which has punished the Philippine island of Luzon since Son-Tinh/Henry a week ago. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 21:50, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

This will be Jongdari. Expected not to receive a PAGASA name as it is expected to move away from the Philippines and its area of responsibility. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 22:25, July 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Still a TD according to both agencies, but the JTWC's forecast map has a typhoon-strength system passing very near or over Tokyo between the 96 and 120 hour forecast points. This is not looking good for Japan who have yet to have a reprieve from severe weather over the past month. Over 220 were killed in floods at the beginning of July, and at least 80 have died from the heat wave which has brought temperatures near Tokyo to over 40°C (aka 104°F). Future-Jongdari may be able to end the heat wave but nevertheless ending the heat wave with a typhoon is excessive. ~ KN2731 {talk} 14:30, July 24, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Jongdari
Finally upgraded to a TS by both JMA and JTWC. Bad for the Tokyo area; this is forecast to hit the Kantō region by the weekend. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 01:02, July 25, 2018 (UTC)


 * Jongdari (which replaced Sonamu in 2013) is expected to be a 110 mph cat 2 right now, around the same strength of Lan last year which hit Tokyo as well, but Jongdari's track (curving northwest to hit Tokyo from the southeast) is rare for the WPac, TS Lionrock of 2016 (formerly a typhoon) also hit eastern Japan that way. Tokyo is a well-prepared city though, with a strong floodwall and well-built buildings, and it would take a very strong typhoon hitting the city to seriously disrupt them. Ryan1000 03:53, July 25, 2018 (UTC)

The track forecast intensity for Jongdari has been upgraded somewhat, now the JTWC takes Jongdari towards central Japan southwest of Tokyo as a 115 mph category 3-strength typhoon by Saturday. Hopefully it's not that strong when it hits Japan though. Ryan1000 05:58, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

Severe Tropical Storm Jongdari
Upgraded to STS status by JMA, just like Wukong. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 12:24, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

Typhoon Jongdari
Upgraded further. The JMA's forecast isn't as aggressive as the JTWC's though. ~ KN2731 {talk} 13:15, July 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * Still a TS right now according to JTWC, but it'll probably be a typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Scale soon as well. The JMA forecast goes by 10-minute winds though, and 10-minute winds of 75 knots/85 mph might be stronger by the JTWC (Saffir-Simpson Scale), so category 3 strength isn't entirely out of the question. Ryan1000 14:00, July 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * Now a 70 knot/80 mph typhoon according to JTWC. The track for this one is strange; they take it straight into Japan from the west before moving it south of Korea. I don't know if I ever seen that kind of track before. Usually storms move into Japan and Korea from the south. Anyway, hopefully Japan goes through this easily and without significant damage/deaths. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  21:49, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

Up to 110 mph winds by JTWC, and forecast to be a cat 3 soon, before curving back west and hitting central Japan as a 100 mph storm or so in 2 days. Ryan1000 18:20, July 27, 2018 (UTC)

uh oh jongarl bls quit wit de rum tah §ÖñÖ ÇHÌ ñÖ §ÄÐÄMÈ JÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖJÖ 12:05, July 28, 2018 (UTC)

Landfall in Japan
Jongdari is just about to make landfall in Japan southwest of the city of Nagoya as a 90 mph category 1 typhoon. It's a small storm though, so it shouldn't last over the country that easily. Ryan1000 12:17, July 28, 2018 (UTC)

Severe Tropical Storm Jongdari (2nd time)
Now has weakened to a severe tropical storm. Hoping Japan didn't get hit hard by Jongdari. ~ Roy25    Talk  |  Contributions   00:37, July 29, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Jongdari (2nd time)
Downgraded to a TS. Will die soon. I highkey hope that this storm made a 2016 Hermine-like scenario and did not exacerbate Japan's weather problems. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 11:56, July 29, 2018 (UTC)


 * Dr. Masters stated that in his latest blog post that Japan had suffered more than 200 deaths from flooding earlier this July, then a streak of record-breaking temperatures, then more flooding from Typhoon Jongdari, which actually hit as an 80 mph category 1 storm. The previous 06Z and 12Z runs of the HWRF model yesterday (the most reliable intensity model for the strongly active Atlantic last year) forecasted Jongdari to stall over southwestern Japan and potentially cause over two feet of rain. Hopefully the Euro is right instead, keeping Jongdari offshore of southwest Japan and minimizing flooding. Ryan1000 16:26, July 29, 2018 (UTC)

Jongdari left 24 people injured in Japan as of this writing. No fatalities (yet... and I hope it stays that way). Anyway, Jongdari is still a TS on JMA, still a TD on JTWC. However, JTWC's forecast says this will eventually hit eastern China (near Shanghai/Yangtze River Delta) as a tropical storm. JMA meanwhile says that Jongdari may re-intensify to a severe tropical storm as it traverses the Yellow Sea/East China Sea area. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 02:29, July 30, 2018 (UTC)


 * According to JTWC this will pass very close to Shanghai in three to four days. Hopefully it doesn't reintensify too much. ~ KN2731 {talk} 10:49, July 30, 2018 (UTC)

Current JTWC forecast expects this to be a a 55 mph tropical storm near Shanghai, hopefully Jongdari is not much stronger than Ampil, and not much worse either. Southern Japan is still getting some rain from this, hopefully it turns away soon before it gets too serious. Ryan1000 14:14, July 31, 2018 (UTC)


 * JTWC currently only has this as a 25 knot/30 mph TD, but JMA still has this as a tropical storm. It probably won't be anything devastating for Shanghai, unless a flooding disaster occurs. Wikipedia's season effects table still reports nothing as of now. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  02:36, August 1, 2018 (UTC)

JMA Tropical Depression (Invest 98W)
Low chance on JTWC but JMA classifies it as a TD already. This is at the west of Luzon. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 15:45, July 20, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 13W
Upgraded by both JMA and JTWC to a TD, but PAGASA still sees this as a low pressure area. Expected to be named Josie by PAGASA in the next few hours though. 13W is likely to become Wukong by next week. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 21:34, July 20, 2018 (UTC)


 * This is forecast to become a 75 mph category 1 storm by the JTWC (not sure if it'll become a typhoon by JMA standards), but it's also expected to recurve northwest after moving northeast and hit eastern China as a tropical storm in the same general area TS Ampil is heading. Ryan1000 02:18, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 13W (Josie)
Finally recognized by PAGASA. Like it predecessors, it will enhance the southwest monsoon to the Philippines. For Taiwan, this may be a significant storm, even if it is not expected to make landfall there. China is the one who should be wary about this, since it will follow Ampil's path once it curves to the left later next week. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 07:36, July 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming this will receive the name Wukong later on. This isn't expected to be a typhoon, but will affect Taiwan and China. -- Roy 25  16:41, July 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * Seems that this will peak as a TD, as JTWC takes this to reach 30 knots. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 04:16, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

JTWC has significantly cut back on their forecast intensity for this when it hits China in a day or two. 13W probably won't do too much by now. Ryan1000 13:18, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

Why the hell do they name tropical depressions?!? Isn't that a bit awkward mate? §ÖñÖ ÇHÌ ñÖ §ÄÐÄMÈ JÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖJÖ 14:10, July 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * @Rara: It's only named by PAGASA, not the JMA. They only name storms that form in their region, which is less broad than the area monitored by the JMA, also tropical depressions can still be severe due to flooding rainfall and mudslides in the Philippines (see: Tropical Depression Winnie in 2004). Ryan1000 18:28, July 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * ok makes sense mate §ÖñÖ ÇHÌ ñÖ §ÄÐÄMÈ JÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖJÖ 18:57, July 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep, PAGASA always names TDs that form in their region. Probably the only agency that names TDs, unless there is something else I forgot about. This weakling TD will move up towards the region Ampil hit, and I really hope it doesn't steal a JMA name. ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  19:28, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

Oh no, this might steal Wukong or Jongdari after all. JMA takes this to 35 knots (65 kph/40 mph) by Monday. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 21:38, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

 * This system could approach typhoon status while remaining out to sea. The winner gets Wukong, and the loser gets Jongdari. Only this and 15W have a decent chance to be named, as 13W is expected to remain very weak. I can't believe there are 5 active systems here! 😲 ~  Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  19:33, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Storm 14W
TS on JTWC, still a TD on JMA (shown as TD c on JMA; TD a is 13W/Josie). Should be the storm that would receive the name Wukong, but given that 13W is forecast to become a TS (by JMA) on Monday too, this will most likely receive the name Jongdari instead. Due to its fishspinner status, only a 24-hour forecast for this storm is indicated in JMA's typhoon page, unlike 13W which happens to have a 12-hour forecast. This may even be Shanshan if 15W organizes faster. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 21:45, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Wukong
Ummm... this got Wukong. 13W is dead and 14W hasn't showed up as a TD on JMA's weather map. ~ KN2731 {talk} 14:32, July 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Wukong is predicted to peak at C1 equivalent typhoon as it heads north. Overall, this shouldn't be a huge concern. From what it looks like, 15W is a huge concern, especially for Japan.  ~ Roy25     Talk  |  Contributions   20:40, July 23, 2018 (UTC)

Severe Tropical Storm Wukong
It's now a typhoon according to the JTWC, but it's still only a severe tropical storm by the JMA. Not expected to affect land while tropical, but it could head towards parts of Russia or Alaska as an extratropical storm. Ryan1000 12:31, July 25, 2018 (UTC)

Probably just going to be a repeat of Wukong, if it becomes named at all. Ryan1000 14:22, July 31, 2018 (UTC)


 * I doubt it will become named because JTWC has issued their final warning on this. Still active as a TD on JMA's weather map, though. ~ <font face="Impact"> Steve 🌞   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  02:38, August 1, 2018 (UTC)

 * JTWC finally puts this on their site, although it has a low chance of formation as of now. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 02:29, July 30, 2018 (UTC)
