Forum:2013 Pacific typhoon season

Ask Sushi!
Are you scared about the season? Want some advice? Well come and ask Sushi, the mascot of the 2013 WPAC typhoon season! Sushi, a professional chef at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Tokyo, Japan also tracks hurricanes and would LOVE to answer your questions on the current season! (Remember, this is just like the Atlantic forums with Bree, so it is the same system!)

Example....

Sonnamu
Q: Will Sonnamu be a typhoon?

A: Yes, but not a very strong one. Not super typhoon for starters! (And he won't do the Gangnam Style. Noooo!)

Happy asking questions, and enjoy! Raraah, Awesome Pony 18:18, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Really fast start for the WPAC may be an indication of an active season? maybe but with an indication of La Niña developing it may affect later on.Allanjeffs 07:57, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Severe Tropical Storm Sonamu
Sonamu has strengthened..... STO12 (talk) 17:03, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

I believe this is going to become the first typhoon of the year (never mind, Sonamu's dying). And Allan, just because we got a storm almost right away does not mean this year's typhoon season will be extremely active. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  18:05, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I know this is slightly off-topic, but with Sonamu,  the 2013 typhoon season has gotten its first storm faster than any season since 1979 (which kicked off with Typhoon Alice). This is also off-topic, but in the Atlantic, a freak January hurricane was found in 1938 via the Atlantic reanalysis project. This means it was 1938, not 1978, that had the fastest start to an Atlantic hurricane season. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  18:17, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
