In early June, a tropical disturbance, embedded within the end of a monsoon trough, formed to the southeast of Guam. [2] The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) then started to monitor the system late on June 7, as it had scattered deep convection over its poorly-defined low-level circulation center (LLCC), but was under an environment of 28–30 °C (82–86 °F) sea surface temperatures, low vertical wind shear, good divergence and enhanced poleward outflow. [3] As the system moved westward, it significantly organized, prompting the JTWC to issue a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) by the next day. [4] However, the JTWC canceled the TCFA late on June 9, as its center became elongated. [5] The system then started to reorganize by the next day, [6] and by June 11, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the system into a tropical depression. [7] The JTWC later followed suit, as formative bands wrapped around its center. [8] As it continued westward, the system struggled to organize, with its center becoming ill-defined. [9]

By 03:00 UTC the next day, the JTWC reported that the tropical depression had intensified into a tropical storm, as improved convective banding began wrapping into its center. [10] The JMA upgraded the storm three hours later, naming it as Guchol. [11] Over the next few days, Guchol slowly intensified, as convection continued to wrap into the system. [12] By 00:00 UTC on June 14, the JMA upgraded Guchol to a severe tropical storm. [13] It subsequently entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, with the PAGASA naming it locally as Butchoy. [14] At 15:00 UTC, the JTWC upgraded the system to a Category 1-equivalent typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson scale, as it built a central dense overcast. [15] By the next day, it further strengthened to a Category 2-equivalent typhoon, as an outflow channel became apparent while it took a north-northwestward turn around the western periphery of the subtropical ridge. [16] [2] At 21:00 UTC that same day, the JTWC upgraded Guchol to a Category 3-equivalent typhoon. [17] The JMA upgraded Guchol to a typhoon three hours later, on June 16. [18] Nine hours later, Guchol strengthened into a Category 4-equivalent typhoon, as a 18 nmi (33 km) symmetric eye formed. [19] Guchol ultimately reached its peak intensity at 18:00 UTC that same day, with 10-minute sustained winds of 100 knots (185 km/h; 115 mph) and a central pressure of 930 hectopascals (27 inHg), according to the JMA. [20] The JTWC estimated Guchol to have 1-minute sustained winds of 130 knots (240 km/h; 150 mph), although it noted that the system's eye had become less symmetric. [21]

By the next day, Guchol started its eyewall replacement cycle, as double eyewalls were seen in microwave imageries. [22] The system then started to weaken from its peak intensity at 12:00 UTC that day, [20] as it was completing the replacement cycle while moving into slightly cooler sea surface temperatures. [23] [2] At 09:00 UTC on June 18, Guchol weakened into a category 3-equivalent typhoon, as its eyewall deteriorated while turning to the north-northeast, along with increasing wind shear. [24] It then exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility three hours later, with the PAGASA issuing its final advisory on the system. [25] The JTWC further downgraded Guchol to a category 2-equivalent typhoon as its eye became cloud-filled. [26] On June 19, Guchol weakened to a category 1-equivalent typhoon, as its convection began to elongate while interacting with the mid-latitude westerlies, [27] before further weakening to a tropical storm as it rapidly approached the Kii Peninsula. [28] At 08:00 UTC, Guchol made its first landfall over southern Wakayama Prefecture, as it began its extratropical transition. [1] [2] Three hours later, it made its second landfall in eastern Aichi Prefecture. [1] Subsequently, the JMA downgraded Guchol to a severe tropical storm, [29] and the JTWC issued their final advisory on Guchol. [30] Traversing the Kanto-Koshin region, the system emerged to the coast of Fukushima Prefecture, with the JMA issuing their final advisory by the next day, as it fully became an extratropical cyclone. [1] [31] The remnants of the system was last noted near Hokkaido two days later. [20]

Preparations and impacts

Philippines

Although Typhoon Guchol (locally known as Butchoy) remained away from the Philippines, its slow movement enhanced the southwest monsoon over the country and resulted in widespread heavy rain. The effects of these rains were relatively limited though, with isolated flooding over parts of Marikina, Navotas, Malabon, Marilao, and Guagua, with no major damage reported. However, one person drowned in Rizal. [32]

Authorities issued evacuation orders for more than 150,000 people in central, eastern and northeastern Japan, with warnings of dangerous landslides from the heavy rain. 452 domestic and international flights were cancelled, affecting 35,000 passengers, while travel on regional and high-speed trains had been hit with delays and cancellations, with some roads also been closed. [33]

As the typhoon moved through Japan, heavy rainfall fell throughout the Tokai and Kanto-Koshin regions, with 24-hour rainfall records in June being broken in Mie Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture. Total accumulated rainfall totals of 405.5 mm (15.96 in) were reported at Miyagawa in Ōdai, and 362.5 mm (14.27 in) at Mount Amagi in Izu, Shizuoka. Hourly rainfall totals in Lake Tanzawa set a new record of 81 mm/h (3.2 in/h) since records began. Wind speeds peaked at 29.3 m/s (105 km/h; 66 mph) at Miyake, Tokyo, and 27.1 m/s (98 km/h; 61 mph) in Omaezaki, Shizuoka. The latter location also recorded wind gusts of 41.4 m/s (149 km/h; 93 mph), and 39.1 m/s (141 km/h; 87 mph) was reported in Cape Irōzaki. The weather station in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture recorded gusts of 35.6 m/s (128 km/h; 80 mph), setting a new June record. [1] A 53-year old man died in Numazu, Shizuoka after being caught in a building collapse. 79 people were injured, five of which had serious injuries, along with 402 homes affected. Landslides were reported in various prefectures. [34] Total economic losses were estimated in excess of ¥8 billion (US$100 million). [35]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2012 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2012 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly above average season that produced 25 named storms, fourteen typhoons, and four intense typhoons. It was a destructive and the second consecutive year to be the deadliest season, primarily due to Typhoon Bopha which killed 1,901 people in the Philippines. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season ran throughout 2012, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Pakhar, developed on March 28, while the season's last named storm, Wukong, dissipated on December 29. The season's first typhoon, Guchol, reached typhoon status on June 15, and became the first super typhoon of the year on June 17.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2013 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2013 Pacific typhoon season was the most active Pacific typhoon season since 2004, and the deadliest since 1975. It featured Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms and one of the strongest landfalling tropical cyclones in history. It was an above-average season with 31 named storms, 13 typhoons, and five super typhoons. The season's first named storm, Sonamu, developed on January 4 while the season's last named storm, Podul, dissipated on November 15. Despite the activity, most of the first seventeen named storms before mid-September were relatively weak, as only two of them reached typhoon intensity. Total damage amounted to at least $26.41 billion (USD), making it at the time the costliest Pacific typhoon season on record; it is currently the fourth costliest, behind the 2018, 2019 and 2023 seasons.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2015 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2015 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly above average season that produced twenty-seven tropical storms, eighteen typhoons, and nine super typhoons. The season ran throughout 2015, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and November. The season's first named storm, Mekkhala, developed on January 15, while the season's last named storm, Melor, dissipated on December 17. The season saw at least one named tropical system forming in each of every month, the first time since 1965. Similar to the previous season, this season saw a high number of super typhoons. Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) during 2015 was extremely high, the third highest since 1970, and the 2015 ACE has been attributed in part to anthropogenic warming, and also the 2014-16 El Niño event, that led to similarly high ACE values in the East Pacific.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2016 Pacific typhoon season</span>

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 October. The season's first named storm, Nepartak, developed on July 3, while the season's last named storm, Nock-ten, dissipated on December 28.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2018 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2018 Pacific typhoon season was at the time, the costliest Pacific typhoon season on record, until the record was beaten by the following year. The season was well above-average, producing twenty-nine storms, thirteen typhoons, seven super typhoons and six Category 5 tropical cyclones. The season ran throughout 2018, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Bolaven, developed on January 3, while the season's last named storm, Man-yi, dissipated on November 28. The season's first typhoon, Jelawat, reached typhoon status on March 29, and became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day.

Severe Tropical Storm Khanun, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Enteng, was the first tropical cyclone to directly impact Korea in two years. It is the 8th named storm, the 3rd severe tropical storm, and overall, the 13th tropical cyclone to be monitored by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) during 2012. Khanun was also the first tropical storm to make a landfall over Korea in 2012. Khanun means "jack fruit" in Thai.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typhoon Sanba</span> Pacific typhoon in 2012

Typhoon Sanba, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Karen, was the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide in 2012. The sixteenth named storm and tenth typhoon of the annual typhoon season, Sanba formed as a tropical depression east of the Philippines on September 10. The storm gradually intensified as it moved generally northward in an area favorable for tropical development. The system was soon upgraded to a tropical storm less than a day after formation and subsequently further to a typhoon on September 12. Later that day, Sanba entered a phase of rapid intensification, and quickly strengthened. On September 13, the system attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph (205 km/h), and a barometric pressure of 900 mbar, becoming the strongest typhoon in the Western Pacific Ocean since Megi in 2010. Accelerating towards more northerly latitudes, a period of gradual weakening ensued afterwards as its eye expanded. It made landfall on South Korea late on September 17 as a typhoon before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone the following day. Sanba's remnants tracked into the Primorsky Krai region of eastern Russia before they were last noted on September 19.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2020 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2020 Pacific typhoon season was the first of an ongoing series of below average Pacific typhoon seasons, and became the first with below-average tropical cyclone activity since 2014, with 23 named storms, 10 of which became typhoons and only 2 became super typhoons. This low activity was a consequence of La Niña that persisted from the summer of the year. It had the sixth-latest start in the basin on record, slightly behind 1973, and was the first to start that late since 2016. The first half of the season was unusually inactive, with only four systems, two named storms and one typhoon at the end of July. Additionally, the JTWC recorded no tropical cyclone development in the month of July, the first such occurrence since reliable records began. The season's first named tropical cyclone, Vongfong, developed on May 8, while the season's last named tropical cyclone, Krovanh, dissipated on December 24. However, the season's last system was an unnamed tropical depression which dissipated on December 29.

Tropical Storm Lingling, known in the Philippines as Tropical Depression Agaton, was a weak but deadly tropical cyclone that affected the Philippines in January 2014. The first named storm of the annual typhoon season, this early-season cyclone remained very disorganized throughout its lifespan. Lingling was the first major natural disaster in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan just two months earlier, as it caused widespread landslide incidents and floods in Mindanao, resulting in 70 deaths and damage amounting to over 566 million pesos on the island.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Timeline of the 2012 Pacific typhoon season</span>

This timeline documents all of the events of the 2012 Pacific typhoon season. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator between 100°E and the International Date Line. During the season, 34 systems were designated as tropical depressions by either the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), or other National Meteorological and Hydrological Services such as the China Meteorological Administration and the Hong Kong Observatory. Since the JMA runs the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) for the Western Pacific, they assigned names to tropical depressions which developed into tropical storms in the basin. PAGASA also assigned local names to systems which are active in their area of responsibility; however, these names are not in common use outside of the Philippines.

Typhoon Neoguri, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Florita, was a large and powerful tropical cyclone which struck Japan in 2014. The eighth named storm and the second typhoon of the annual typhoon season, Neoguri developed into a tropical storm on July 3 and then a typhoon on July 4. It rapidly deepened on July 5, reaching peak intensity late on July 6. Neoguri began to decay on July 7 and passed through Okinawa on July 8 and then making landfall over Kyushu as a severe tropical storm late on July 9. After Neoguri passed through the southern coast of Honshū on July 10, it became extratropical on July 11.

Typhoon Vongfong, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Ompong, was the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 2014, and struck Japan as a large tropical system. It also indirectly affected the Philippines and Taiwan. Vongfong was the nineteenth named storm and the ninth typhoon of the 2014 Pacific typhoon season. Estimates assess damage from Vongfong to have been over US$160 million, mainly for striking mainland Japan. At least 9 people were killed along the path of the typhoon in those countries.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Timeline of the 2015 Pacific typhoon season</span>

This timeline documents all of the events of the 2015 Pacific typhoon season. Most of the tropical cyclones formed between May and November. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator between 100°E and the International Date Line. This area, called the Western Pacific basin, is the responsibility of the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA). They host and operate the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC), located in Tokyo. The Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) is also responsible for assigning names to all tropical storms that are formed within the basin. However, any storm that enters or forms in the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) will be named by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) using a local name. Also of note - the Western Pacific basin is monitored by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), which gives all Tropical depressions a number with a "W" suffix.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Nanmadol (2017)</span> Pacific severe tropical storm in 2017

Severe Tropical Storm Nanmadol, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Emong, was a tropical cyclone that impacted southern Japan during July 2017. Nanmadol developed over in the Philippine Sea as a tropical depression on July 1, and strengthened into the third named storm of the 2017 typhoon season on July 3. After gaining organization, the system rapidly developed and intensified into a severe tropical storm and reached its peak intensity with a 10-minute maximum sustained winds of 100 km/h (62 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 985 hPa (29.1 inHg). On July 4, Nanmadol turned eastwards and made landfall near Nagasaki, Kyushu, just before it transitioned into an extratropical cyclone.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2021 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2021 Pacific typhoon season was the second consecutive to have below average tropical cyclone activity, with twenty-two named storms, and was the least active since 2011. Nine became typhoons, and five of those intensified into super typhoons. This low activity was caused by a strong La Niña that had persisted from the previous year. The season's first named storm, Dujuan, developed on February 16, while the last named storm, Rai, dissipated on December 21. The season's first typhoon, Surigae, reached typhoon status on April 16. It became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day, also becoming the strongest tropical cyclone in 2021. Surigae was also the most powerful tropical cyclone on record in the Northern Hemisphere for the month of April. Typhoons In-fa and Rai are responsible for more than half of the total damage this season, adding up to a combined total of $2.02 billion.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2022 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2022 Pacific typhoon season was the third consecutive season to have below average tropical cyclone activity, with twenty-five named storms forming. Of the tropical storms, ten became typhoons, and three would intensify into super typhoons. The season saw near-average activity by named storm count, although many of the storms were weak and short-lived, particularly towards the end of the season. This low activity was caused by an unusually strong La Niña that had persisted from 2020. The season's first named storm, Malakas, developed on April 6, while the last named storm, Pakhar, dissipated on December 12. The season's first typhoon, Malakas, reached typhoon status on April 12. The season ran throughout 2022, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. Tropical storms Megi and Nalgae were responsible for more than half of the casualties, while typhoons Hinnamnor and Nanmadol both caused $1 billion in damages.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2023 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2023 Pacific typhoon season was the fourth consecutive below-average season and became the third-most inactive typhoon season on record in terms of named storms, with just 17 named storms developing, only ahead of 2010 and 1998. Despite the season occurring during an El Niño event, which typically favors activity in the basin, activity was abnormally low. This was primarily due to a consistent period of negative PDO, which typically discourages tropical storm formation in this basin. The season was less active than the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season in terms of named storms, the fourth such season on record, after 2005, 2010 and 2020. The season's number of storms also did not exceed that of the 2023 Pacific hurricane season. Only ten became typhoons, with four strengthening further into super typhoons. However, it was very destructive, primarily due to Typhoon Doksuri which devastated the northern Philippines, Taiwan, and China in July, becoming the costliest typhoon on record as well as the costliest typhoon to hit mainland China, and Typhoon Haikui in September, which devastated China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The season was less active in Southeast Asia, with no tropical storm making landfall in mainland Vietnam.
