OR:

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.

Seasonal forecasts

During the year several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, and typhoons will form during a season and/or how many tropical cyclones will affect a particular country. These agencies included the Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) Consortium of

. Some of the forecasts took into consideration what happened in previous seasons and the El Niño conditions that were observed during the previous year. The first forecast of the year was released by PAGASA during January 2016, within its seasonal climate outlook for the period January – June. The outlook noted that one to two tropical cyclones were expected between January and March, while one to three were expected to develop or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility between April and June. During March the

predicted that the typhoon season in Hong Kong would be near-normal, with four to seven tropical cyclones passing within of the territory compared to an average of six, which was revised to five to eight tropical cyclones in August. On May 7, Tropical Storm Risk issued its first forecast for the season and predicted that it will be a quiet season, with 22 tropical storms, 13 typhoons, and 6 intense typhoons developing during the year, while an ACE Index of 217 was also forecast. Ahead of the Thailand rainy season starting during May, the Thai Meteorological Department predicted that two tropical cyclones would move near Thailand during 2016. They predicted that there was a high chance that the first tropical cyclone would move past northern and north-eastern Thailand during August or September. The second tropical cyclone was predicted to move past Southern Thailand during October and November. On June 28, Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau predicted that between 19 and 23 tropical storms would develop over the basin, while two — four systems were expected to affect Taiwan itself. On July 6, TSR released their second forecast for the season. They predicted mostly the same numbers as the previous forecast, but raised the number of intense typhoons to 7. PAGASA issued their second and final forecast for the year on July 15, within its seasonal climate outlook for the period July – December. The outlook noted that between five and eleven tropical cyclones were expected between July and September, while four to nine were expected to develop or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility between October and December. TSR issued their final forecast for the season on August 8, sustaining the tropical cyclone numbers, however its ACE was slightly lowered than the previous forecast.

However, the depression's broad low level circulation centre was moving north-westwards quickly, which meant that the circulation's southern edge could not close off and was exposed. The system subsequently made landfall on Luzon in Philippines later that day, where according to PAGASA it quickly weakened into a low-pressure area. However, the JMA continued to monitor the system as a tropical depression throughout June 27, as it emerged into an unfavourable environment for further development in the South China Sea.

Tropical Depression 03W

During July 14, a tropical disturbance developed about to the west-northwest of Guam. At this time atmospheric convection surrounding the system was flaring, over the system's weak but developing low level circulation center. 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. Over the next couple of days the system gradually developed further as it moved north-westwards and was classified as a tropical depression by the JMA during July 15. After the system had consolidated further, it was classified as Tropical Depression 03W by the JTWC during July 17. 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. As a result, the JTWC expected the system to quickly dissipate and issued their final advisory later that day. However, over the next couple of days the system continued to move northwards and impacted the

During July 21, a subtropical disturbance developed at the tailend of a mid-latitude trough of low pressure, about to the east of Iwo-To. 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. Over the next day, as the storm moved north-northeastwards around a subtropical ridge of high pressure, its structure improved as it developed a warm core and consolidated. The hybrid system was subsequently classified as Tropical Storm 04W by the JTWC during July 23, before the JMA named it Lupit later that day. Over the next day, Lupit peaked with sustained winds of , as it went through an extratropical transition and took on frontal characteristics. Lupit subsequently became extratropical during July 24, before it dissipated during July 26, as it moved into the

Severe Tropical Storm Omais

During August 2, the JMA started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed within a favourable environment for further development, about to the northeast of Hagåtña,

. The system had a broad and weak low level circulation centre, which had atmospheric convection flaring around the system's outer edge. Over the next couple of days the system slowly moved north-eastwards, before it was classified as Tropical Storm 07W by the JTWC and named Omais by the JMA during August 4. A high-pressure system kept Omais to the east of Japan producing hot and steamy conditions across Japan approximately about 1000 people were taken to hospital due to heat stroke as the heat index climbed well into the 40s. On August 9, Omais transitioned to an extratropical cyclone as it moved over cooler waters of the northwestern Pacific Ocean, Omais fully dissipated on August 10.


Tropical Storm Conson

On August 7, the JMA started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed about to the west of Wake Island. Over the next day the system gradually developed further as it moved south-westwards, before the JTWC classified it as Tropical Depression 08W during August 8. Later that day, the JMA upgraded 08W to a tropical storm, naming it ''Conson''. Despite some moderate wind shear, Conson slowly intensified and later reached severe tropical storm strength on August 10. The JTWC later stated that deep convection was forming near the center of Conson, however shortly thereafter, convection became disorganized. By August 11, convection once re-intensified again, however its LLCC became exposed, causing the JTWC to lower its intensity to lower-end of tropical storm strength. The JMA also downgraded Conson to a tropical storm. During the next day, satellite image showed that the convective structure of Conson was beginning to deteriorate as it started to interact with drier air, suppressing convection. The center of Conson became much broader and exposed early on August 13. While moving northwestward, Conson became better defined than before, however its convection was more shallow as it started to interact will cooler sea-surface temperatures and drier air. 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. The JMA tracked Conson until it fully transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on August 15 and made landfall near Nemuro Peninsula. Its remnants were tracked until midday of August 16.


Severe Tropical Storm Chanthu

During August 11, the JMA started to track a tropical depression, whereas the JTWC issued a

. After meandering eastwards, the JTWC designated the system as ''09W'', while the JMA immediately upgraded 09W to a tropical storm and assigned it the name ''Chanthu'' on August 13. The JTWC followed suit early on August 14. With an improving LLCC, Chanthu rapidly developed into a severe tropical storm from the JMA, as it was later located over in an area of favorable environments of strengthening. Despite a high chance of strengthening and a well-defined LLCC, Chanthu stopped generating convection as the JMA downgraded it to a tropical storm. Later that day, flaring convection was associated with its LLCC as it was beginning its extratropical transition while interacting with mid-latitude flow. 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

The JTWC considered the system to be subtropical at this time, as its structure was asymmetric, with deep convection displaced to the north and east of the system's low level circulation centre. From late August 20 to early August 22, the system had at least somewhat an interaction with Mindulle, taking an erratic and slow path for a bit. Restrengthening begun again quickly, with the system already starting to develop an eye in mid-August 23.

On August 18, the JMA started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed, about to the northeast of Guam. The JTWC started issuing advisories by the next day as it was immediately classified as a tropical storm and the identifier of ''13W''. The JMA followed suit early on August 20, and was named ''Kompasu''. Despite wind shear and an exposed LLCC, tightly curved banding was reported embedded within the northern extent of a very broad "monsoon gyre" circulation. Both agencies reported that Kompasu had reached its peak strength as a minimal tropical storm with a minimum barometric pressure of about 994 mbar. 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. On August 21, the JTWC downgraded Kompasu to a tropical depression and issued their final bulletin on the system. The JMA did the same and issued its final advisory on Kompasu as it transitioned into an extratropical system. Floods in

. Moving northward on the next day, the LLCC of 14W became exposed with a deteriorating convective signature. Flaring deep convection became disorganized into a weakly-defined center due to strong northerly wind shear; the JTWC assessed 14W's winds only at 25 knots. Due to a rapidly decaying LLCC with minor bursts of convection, both the JMA and the JTWC issued its final warning on 14W later that same day.


Typhoon Namtheun (Enteng)

A low-pressure area developed into a tropical depression southeast of

early on August 31. Later that day, the JTWC began issuing advisories on the system, assigning the designation of ''15W''. Early the next day, 15W had intensified into a tropical storm by both agencies, with the JMA prompting the name ''Namtheun''. The PAGASA however started issuing advisories on Namtheun and considered it as a tropical depression and gave the local name ''Enteng''. Despite the overall structure of the storm being described to be "midget" with a very small but compact LLCC, Namtheun had begun a phase of
rapid intensification Rapid intensification (RI) is any process wherein a tropical cyclone strengthens very dramatically in a short period of time. Tropical cyclone forecasting agencies utilize differing thresholds for designating rapid intensification events, th ...
and a pinhole eye developed; therefore, the JTWC upgraded Namtheun to a Category 1 typhoon. The JMA, though, upgraded Namtheun only to a severe tropical storm at that time. Later that day, PAGASA had declared that the storm had exited its area of responsibility as a severe tropical storm. 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, therefore prompting the JMA to classify it to a typhoon. Namtheun developed a pinhole eye across and reached its peak strength as a Category 3 typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of ; the JMA though declared its 10-minute peak strength early on September 3 with a minimum barometric pressure of 955 millibars. By that time, Namtheun was depicted with significantly weakened structure and a dissipation of its eye, therefore the JTWC downgraded Namtheun rapidly to a strong Category 1. On September 4, Namtheun had weakened to a tropical storm due to diminishing convection, caused by high southwesterly wind shear. After making landfall over in

Tropical Storm Malou

On September 5, the JMA started to monitor a tropical depression, that had developed over the Japanese prefecture of Okinawa. The depression was located within a favourable environment for further development, with very warm sea surface temperatures and low vertical wind shear. Over the next day the system moved north-eastwards towards the Japanese Mainland, before it was classified as a tropical storm and named Malou by the JMA during September 6. However, the JTWC classified Malou as a hybrid system, with both subtropical and tropical characteristics. They also noted that the convective development around the system's low level circulation centre was being hindered, as the subtropical westerlies were located over the system. During September 7, the system started to accelerate northwards, before the JMA issued their final advisory on the system as Malou became an extratropical cyclone.


Typhoon Meranti (Ferdie)

Tropical Depression 17W

During September 8, the JTWC started to monitor a tropical disturbance that had developed about to the west of Iwo To. Moving northward in a few days, the JTWC assessed that the system had strengthened into Tropical Depression 17W. Despite its LLCC remaining small, satellite imagery showed that 17W produced persistent convection and some spiral banding. Later, drier air surrounded the depression as it was now firmly embedded with the west-southwesterly flow ahead of the mid-latitude frontal zone. 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. In the JMA's post-analysis, 17W was recognized as a tropical depression, and the system was first noted on September 10.


Tropical Storm Rai

On September 11, a tropical depression formed within an unfavourable environment for further development, about to the northeast of

. After moving westward for several days, 23W intensified into a tropical storm, with the JMA giving the name ''Songda''. By October 9, an eye feature became apparent in microwave imagery, and Songda reached severe tropical storm intensity. Six hours later, Songda intensified into a typhoon. Songda started to undergo rapid deepening, while forming a ragged eye. Songda eventually reached its peak intensity as a Category 4 super typhoon, despite 25-30 kt vertical wind shear, with 10-minute sustained winds of and a minimum pressure of 925 mbar. Shortly thereafter, Songda rapidly weakened as the wind shear increased further, and its eye became cloud-filled. The JTWC issued its final advisory, classifying Songda as a rapidly-weakening Category 3-equivalent typhoon. The storm was embedded within the deep mid-latitude westerlies and located over waters cooler than . The JMA downgraded Songda to a severe tropical storm in its final advisory on October 13, and Songda subsequently transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. The extratropical remnant of Songda went on to affect the west coast of North America with heavy rain and winds.


Severe Tropical Storm Aere (Julian)

Shortly after Songda's formation, another tropical depression developed well east to the

Shortly thereafter, Aere reached itspeak intensity with 10-minute winds of , just shy of typhoon strength. Upwelling induced weakening, and Aere weakened to a tropical storm. By October 10, Aere's LLCC became exposed due to southwesterly wind shear, and Aere degenerated to a tropical depression. The JMA tracked its remnants as it moved southwestward until it weakened to a low-pressure area late on October 11. On October 13, the well-marked low-pressure area of Aere re-generated into a tropical depression, and was tracked by the JMA until it fully dissipated on October 14. Most of the damage was reported mainly in Vietnam, especially in the central region, where estimated damages for transport works were at 130 billion (US$5.83 million). A total of 25 houses were destroyed while 949 were damaged. In agriculture, 3.14 ha of rice and 11.5 ha of crops were damaged. In total, flooding by the storm caused 4.6 trillion (US$209 million) of damage.

Typhoon Haima (Lawin)

During October 14, the JMA and JTWC reported that a tropical depression had developed about within the Caroline Islands to the south of Guam. During that day the depressions low level circulation center rapidly consolidated, while bands of atmospheric convection built and wrapped into the center. As a result, both warning centers reported that the depression had developed into a tropical storm, early the next day with the JMA naming it as Haima. Early on October 15, the depression intensified into a tropical storm and was assigned the name ''Haima''. 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. Three hours later, Haima intensified into a severe tropical storm. Super Typhoon Haima (Lawin) intensified further. PAGASA used the term "super typhoon" on Haima for the first time since it was introduced in May 2015 due to

. Late on November 2, organization had increased as the JTWC upgraded the system to a tropical depression with the identifier of ''26W''. The JMA, however, had upgraded 26W to a tropical storm, giving the name ''Meari'' early on the next day. With a rapidly consolidating LLCC, the JTWC followed suit of upgrading to a tropical storm. By November 4, now moving northward, feeder bands were covering its very broad and compact LLCC and therefore Meari intensified into a severe tropical storm. Hours later, deep convective banding with a

On the next day, organization ensued with deep convection wrapping into its center and its CDO feature becoming more symmetric. Meari intensified into a Category 2 typhoon. During the course of November 6, Meari reached peak intensity only as a Category 2 with 10-minute sustained winds of and a minimum barometric pressure of 955 mbar. Later that day, Meari started to move northeastward rapidly with a strong poleward outflow as it started to interact with high vertical wind shear. The JTWC downgraded Meari to a Category 1. On November 7, the JTWC issued its final advisory on Meari due to the fact that its convective structure had become frontal, therefore it had already transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. The JMA followed suit three hours later.


Tropical Depression

. On November 5, it made landfall in southern Vietnam, and moved westwards until it dissipated on November 6. The depression exacerbated the torrential rains and heavy flooding that had impacted central and southern Vietnam since mid October, damaging more than 20,000 homes. A total of 15 people were killed and total damage reached ₫1.073 trillion (US$48.1 million) in Vietnam from November 1, though a total of 35 have been killed since the flooding from October. Residents say that the country had their worst flooding since 2011.


Tropical Storm Ma-on

On November 8, the JMA started to track a tropical depression that had formed several nautical miles to the east of the

. Later that day, the JTWC had started initiating advisories giving it the designation ''27W''. During the next day, the JMA upgraded 27W to a tropical storm, naming it ''Ma-on'', due to deep curved convection despite the system's LLCC being exposed. The JTWC followed suit, upgrading it to a tropical storm after the system became more symmetrical with deep convection over in an area of low wind shear. Later that day, Ma-on reached its maximum intensity with 10-minute sustained winds of and a minimum pressure of 1002 mbar. Despite additional strengthening being forecast, its LLCC became exposed as favorable conditions started to deteriorate. Both agencies downgraded Ma-on to a tropical depression and issued their final advisories, although, the JMA tracked Ma-on until November 13.


Tropical Depression 28W

During November 9, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed, about to the east-northeast of

, where it gradually consolidated further within a favourable environment for further development. 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. However, as the system was located within an area of low to moderate vertical wind shear, atmospheric convection associated with the system quickly dissipated. The system subsequently degenerated into a tropical wave, before it was last noted by both warning centers during November 12.

as a Category 4-equivalent super typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of . Nock-ten emerged into the South China Sea as a minimal typhoon, where strong vertical wind shear associated with a cold surge event led to continued weakening, with the low-level circulation center becoming exposed.
