Tropical Cyclone
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with a low-pressure area, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain and squalls. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is called a hurricane (), typhoon (), tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, or simply cyclone. A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or northeastern Pacific Ocean. A typhoon is the same thing which occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. In the Indian Ocean and South Pacific, comparable storms are referred to as "tropical cyclones". In modern times, on average around 80 to 90 named tropical cyclones form each year around the world, over half of which develop hurricane-force winds of or more. Tropical cyclones tropical cyclogenesis, typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy through the evaporation of water ...

Philippine Area Of Responsibility
The Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) is an area in the Northwestern Pacific where PAGASA, the Philippines' national meteorological agency, monitors weather occurrences. Significant weather disturbances, specifically typhoons that enter or develop in the PAR, are given Philippine-specific names. Boundary The area is bounded by six points namely (clockwise): * * * * * * This area encompasses almost all of the land territory of the Philippines, except for the southernmost portions of the province of Tawi-Tawi, and some of the country's claimed islands in the Spratlys. The area also includes the main island of Palau, most of Taiwan, as well as portions of the Malaysian state of Sabah, the Japanese prefecture of Okinawa ( Miyakojima, Tarama, Ishigaki, Taketomi, Yonaguni) and a small patch of land in Brunei ( Brunei–Muara District). Function The establishing decree of PAGASA mandates the weather agency to monitor weather occurrences occurring within the PAR. ...

List Of Storms Named Nina
The name Nina has been used for twenty tropical cyclones worldwide: eighteen in the northwest Pacific Ocean (thirteen by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center and five by PAGASA), and one each in the South Pacific, in the Australian region, and in the northeast central Pacific Ocean. In the South Pacific: * Cyclone Nina (1979) - Brushed Vanuatu before curving eastwards In the Australian region: *Cyclone Nina (1992), a Category 4 cyclone that affected Queensland and several islands in Oceania. In the Central Pacific: * Hurricane Nina (1957) – a Category 1 hurricane in the Central Pacific; named as such because of the policy to use typhoon names for systems that would form in the Central Pacific Ocean. In the Western Pacific Ocean: * Typhoon Nina (1953) (T5307) – made landfall in China. * Typhoon Nina (1960) (T6025, 51W) – a strong typhoon that never made landfall. * Tropical Depression Nina (1963) – a tropical cyclone which was considered by JMA as a tropical depressio ...

List Of Retired Philippine Typhoon Names
A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole".Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009). Purpose It has been observed that, with a few exceptions, "the scholarship on lists remains fragmented". David Wallechinsky, a co-author of '' The Book of Lists'', described the attraction of lists as being "because we live in an era of overstimulation, especially in terms of information, and lists help us ...

2016 Pacific Typhoon Season
The 2016 Pacific typhoon season is considered to have been the fourth-latest start for a Pacific typhoon season since reliable records began. It was an average season, with a total of 26 named storms, 13 typhoons, and six super typhoons. The season ran throughout 2016, though typically most tropical cyclones develop between May and November. The season's first named storm, Nepartak, developed on July 3, while the season's last named storm, Nock-ten, dissipated on December 28. The development of Nepartak made the second-latest time within a season for the first named storm to develop and ended a 199-day period (from December 17, 2015 – July 3, 2016) during which no named storm was active in the basin. Tropical Storm Mirinae reached peak intensity while making landfall over the Red River Delta, causing very severe damage in Northern Vietnam. By the end of August, three storms had hit the Japanese island of Hokkaidō, the most since 1951. In September, Typhoon Meranti reached p ...

Tropical Storm Nangka (2020)
Tropical Storm Nangka, also known in the Philippines as Tropical Depression Nika, was a weak tropical cyclone which would be the wettest tropical cyclone in the Western Pacific on record, producing 127.8 in (3,245 mm) of rainfall in Hướng Hóa District, Hướng Hóa, Vietnam. Nangka would impact Hainan and parts of Indochina, which had been affected by Tropical Storm Linfa just days earlier. Nangka in total caused 4 deaths and 5 missing in China and Vietnam. Meteorological history On October 11, 2020, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) began tracking a tropical depression off the west coast of Luzon. The PAGASA declared the system as a tropical depression at 12:00 UTC, and since the storm formed inside of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) the agency named the system ''Nika''. On the same day at 21:00, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center began issuing warnings on the system. On October 12, the system was declared a tropical storm by the JMA, and was named ''Nangka ...

Typhoon Toraji (2024)
Typhoon Toraji, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Nika, was a fairly strong tropical cyclone that impacted the Philippines in mid-November 2024. It was the fourth tropical cyclone in a series to impact the Philippines, following Tropical Storm Trami and Typhoons Kong-rey, Yinxing, Usagi, and Man-yi which had occurred just a few days earlier. Additionally, it was also part of the four tropical cyclones to simultaneously exist in the Western Pacific during the month of November, the first occurrence since records began in 1951; the other three were Yinxing, Usagi and Man-yi. The twenty-third named storm and tenth typhoon of the annual typhoon season, Toraji, developed into a low-pressure area and later into a tropical depression north of Yap on November 8. It moved into the Philippine Area of Responsibility, and PAGASA named the depression ''Nika'' the following day. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) then upgraded the system to a tropical storm, naming it ''Toraji''. Sa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
