Tropical Storm Mirinae reached peak intensity while making landfall over the Red River Delta, causing very severe damage in Northern Vietnam.
The last storm of the season, Typhoon Nock-ten, became the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded worldwide on Christmas Day (December 25) since at least 1960, in terms of 1-minute maximum sustained winds.
These agencies included the Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) Consortium of University College London, PAGASA and Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau.
[12] Nepartak reached Category 5 super typhoon intensity before making landfall in Taiwan and East China, causing a total of US$1.52 billion of damage.
In late July, Tropical Storm Mirinae reached its peak intensity while making landfall over Red River Delta in Northern Vietnam.
[13] Lionrock was a large, powerful, long-lived and erratic tropical cyclone which caused significant flooding and casualties in North Korea and Japan in late August.
[15] Severe Tropical Storm Aere affected parts of Southeast Asia in mid-October, including the worst flooding in Vietnam since 2010, causing a total of US$209 million of damage.
[22] The system brought squally and heavy rain to the Pearl River Delta, including parts of Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong province, where a bridge was destroyed by flooding and two people were injured.
[28] Several sea-trips in the Philippine island province of Catanduanes were cancelled with a total of seven passengers, three rolling cargoes and a sea vessel stranded at the port of Virac.
[46] However, as a subtropical ridge of high pressure extended a significant amount of dry air over the disturbance, conditions were assessed to be marginally favorable for further development of the system.
[49] However, the system weakened during that day as it moved polewards, along the western edge of the subtropical ridge of high pressure, into an area of increasing vertical wind shear.
[53] Over the next day, deep atmospheric convection developed over the system's elongated low level circulation center, before it was classified as a tropical depression by the JMA during July 22.
[54] Mirinae was first noted as a tropical depression during July 25, as it moved off the west coast of Luzon into the South China Sea, about 300 km (185 mi) to the east of the Paracel Islands.
[66] On July 31, Nida made landfall over the area between Baggao and Gattaran of the Cagayan province in the Philippines at 13:20 PST (05:20 UTC) as a severe tropical storm.
[87] By August 14, the JTWC issued their final warning on Conson as it started to undergo its extratropical transition with a result of a strong wind shear and the interaction of the mid-latitude baroclinic zone.
[100] Therefore, early on August 17, Chanthu once again reached severe tropical storm strength as it attained its peak intensity with a minimal pressure of 980 millibars (28.94 inHg), while east of the Japanese archipelago of Honshu.
[105] In the province of Hainan, China, Dianmu's heavy rains brought the water level at the Longtang Dam on the Nandu River to a ten-year high of 13.35 metres.
[112] Moving on the eastern edge of a relatively high-latitude monsoon gyre and being steered by the southern extension of the subtropical ridge anchored east of Japan, the intensification of Mindulle was limited on August 20, owing to modest dry air entrainment resulting in flaring convection near and surrounding the LLCC.
[126] Despite wind shear and an exposed LLCC, tightly curved banding was reported embedded within the northern extent of a very broad "monsoon gyre" circulation.
[129] Later that day, deep convection of Kompasu had rapidly decreased as it was located in marginally favorable environments with low wind shear and sea-surface temperatures of about 26 degrees Celsius.
[145] By September 2, rapid intensification ensued as it was reported that Namtheun was located over a region of warm sea surface temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius with high ocean heat content,[146] therefore prompting the JMA to classify it to a typhoon.
[157] On September 8, a tropical depression formed[158] in a region of low wind shear, steered by ridges to the north and southwest, with warm water temperatures and outflow from the south.
[173] The JTWC issued their final advisory on 17W on September 12, as the system was rapidly deteriorating due to vertical wind shear, and weakened into a remnant low.
[228][229] During the next day, Chaba began explosive intensification,[230] reaching Category 5 super typhoon intensity with a sharp 5 nmi (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) wide eye.
[285] At this point of time, Haima was located in a very favorable environment with very high ocean heat content, very low wind shear and warm SSTs.
[294][295] Hours later, deep convective banding with a central dense overcast (CDO) seen from satellite imagery prompted the JTWC and the JMA to upgrade Meari to a typhoon.
[321][322] During November 11, the JTWC initiated advisories and designated the system as Tropical Depression 28W, after atmospheric convection had started to wrap into the weekly defined low level circulation centre.
[330][331][332] Shortly after emerging into the South China Sea on November 26,[333] JMA reported that Tokage briefly reached its peak intensity of 95 km/h (51 knots) and a pressure of 992 hpa.
[326] The JTWC would follow suit, upgrading Tokage to a category 1 typhoon, reaching its peak intensity of 135 km/h (73 knots) and a pressure of 967 hPa, while weakening to a tropical storm at 12:00 UTC the same day.
[19] Nock-ten emerged into the South China Sea as a minimal typhoon,[346][347] where strong vertical wind shear associated with a cold surge event led to continued weakening,[348] with the low-level circulation center becoming exposed.
