The 2009 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it runs year-round in 2009, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.[1] These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.

The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 2009 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical storms formed in the entire Western North Pacific basin are assigned a name by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Tropical depressions formed in this basin are given a number with a "W" suffix by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center. In addition, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones (including tropical depressions) that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility. These names, however, are not in common use outside of the Philippines.

Since the 2000 season, the Laboratory for Atmospheric Research at the City University of Hong Kong has forecast the expected number of tropical cyclones, named storms, and typhoons in a season. Forecasts are released in April and June. This season, the CityUHK is predicting an about average season. An average season, according to the CityUHK, has 31 tropical cyclones, 27 named storms, and 17 typhoons. In its April forecast, the CityUHK predicted 31 total tropical cyclones, 27 named storms, and 18 typhoons. It also forecast that 4 tropical cyclones would make landfall in Southern China, all of which are expected to be in the early season (between May and August). A normal season sees 5 such landfalls, of which 3 are early and two are late (September to December).[2] On June 15, PAGASA reported that seven to ten tropical cyclones would move through their area of responsibility during the next 3 months.[3]

Storms

PAGASA Tropical Depression Auring

Tropical depression (JMA)
 
DurationJanuary 3 – January 6
Peak intensity55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min);
1000 hPa (mbar)

An area of disturbed weather formed on December 30, 2008, to the south east of Manila, Philippines.[5] Late on January 1, 2009, the JTWC upgraded the area of disturbed weather into a tropical disturbance and assessed the disturbances potential of becoming developing into a significant Tropical Cyclone within 24 hours as "poor".[6] Early on January 3, as the disturbance moved towards the west the JMA designated the disturbance as a minor tropical depression.[7] Later that morning PAGASA, designated the depression as Auring.[8] Later that day the JTWC upgraded the potential of Auring becoming a significant tropical cyclone within 24 hours to fair.[9] Late on January 5, PAGASA downgraded Auring to a Low Pressure Area.[10] Late on January 7, the remnants of Tropical Depression Auring associated with an area of cloudiness brought scattered rainshowers across Eastern Luzon, Bicol Region, and Visayas and dissipated.[11]

The depression produced heavy rainfall and flooding on Mindanao in the Philippines, forcing 38,764 people to evacuate to shelters from their homes. The flooding destroyed 294 houses, killed two people, and left nine others missing.[12][13][14] About 12,211 people were left stranded at ports due to dangerous conditions caused by the depression. An additional 14 trucks, 44 light cars, 75 passenger buses, 27 vessels and 295 rolling cargoes were also stranded.[15] A total of 305 homes were destroyed and another 610 were damaged. In addition, an estimated 53 hectares (130.9 acres) of rice and 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) of corn were damaged. About 43,851 people were affected by the depression and[16] damages from the depression were estimated at PHP 23 million ($498,318 USD).[17]

PAGASA Tropical Depression Bising

Tropical depression (PAGASA)
 
DurationFebruary 12 – February 14
Peak intensity45 km/h (30 mph) (10-min);
1002 hPa (mbar)

On February 9, an area of disturbed weather formed 150 km (90 miles) to the north of the Republic of Palau.[18] At this time satellite imagery had shown deep convection developing along the northern edge of a low level trough of low pressure and was located within an area of moderate vertical wind shear.[18] The next day the JTWC reported that the disturbance had dissipated, however the disturbance regenerated early on February 12 and was designated as Tropical Depression Bising by PAGASA with peak winds of 45 km/h (30 mph).[19][20] At this time PAGASA issued Public Warning Signal Number one, for parts of Visayas and Mindanao.[20] Early the next day PAGASA reported that Bising had made landfall on Dinagat Island, with winds of 45 km/h (30 mph), later that day PAGASA cancelled all the Public Warning Signals for the Philippines, as they downgraded Bising to an area of low pressure.[21][22] An estimated 473 passengers and several vehicles were stranded in Liloan and Ormoc due to ferry cancellations.[23] In Cebu, an estimated 1,600 passengers were also stranded due to the depression.[24] Late on February 14, the remnants of Tropical Depression Bising brought scattered rainshowers across Southern Luzon, Bicol Region, and Visayas and dissipated. The rainfall led to mudslides on Cebu Island which blocked the Cebu Transcentral Highway.[25] The incident occurred around 11 pm local time on February 13 and forced officials to shut down the entire highway.[26]

PAGASA Tropical Depression Crising

Tropical depression (PAGASA)
 
DurationApril 30 – May 2
Peak intensity55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min);
1000 hPa (mbar)

Early on April 29, the JTWC reported that an area of disturbed weather had formed about 430 km to the southwest of Manila in the Philippines.[27] Satellite imagery had shown an elongated low level circulation center which had broken convective banding which was wrapping in to the southern edge of the disturbance which was located within an area of low vertical wind shear.[27] During the day the disturbance gradually consolidated and started to intensify under the influence of an anticyclone.[28] As a result of this, a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) was released by the JTWC later that day.[28] Early the next morning PAGASA designated the disturbance as Tropical Depression Crising, and reported that Crising had peak windspeeds of 55 km/h (35 mph).[29] Later that morning PAGASA put parts of Western Luzon under public storm warning signal number one whilst the depression was moving slowly towards the west within the South China Sea.[30] Later that day the JTWC cancelled the TCFA on Crising as the low level circulation center was now poorly defined after it had interacted with another tropical disturbance that later became Tropical Storm 01W.[31] However PAGASA kept issuing advisories on Crising and then early on May 1 PAGASA cancelled all the Public warning signals which were in place for western parts of Luzon. Early the next day, PAGASA reported that the tropical depression had weakened into a low pressure area and the final advisory was issued.[32]

Heavy rains produced by the outer bands of Crising caused flooding in western areas of the Philippines, affecting an estimated 2,500 people. The worst flooding occurred in Lucena City where ten villages were isolated. Areas along the Bucon and Inalmasinan Rivers were inundated and sustained significant crop losses. Several animals reportedly drowned in the region. Several roads were impassable due to landslides or were washed out by floodwaters. One bridge was destroyed in the town of Mercedes.[33]

Typhoon Kujira (Dante)

Very strong typhoon (JMA)
Category 4 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationMay 1 – May 7
Peak intensity155 km/h (100 mph) (10-min);
940 hPa (mbar)

Early on April 26, an area of disturbed weather formed near the coastline of Baler, Aurora. It was formerly a tail end of cold front that passed by Northern Luzon. JTWC assesed that the area of a disturbed weather potential of becoming developing into a significant Tropical Cyclone within 24 hours as "fair". However, on April 28, JTWC downgraded the disturbance as dissipating because of interaction with nearby middle Tropical Depression Crising and JMA Tropical Depression 03. A few days later, the disturbance moved south-westward, and late on April 30, the disturbance made landfall at Albay. On May 1, JTWC again upgraded the disturbance into having a potential to form into a significant Tropical Cyclone within 24 hours to "fair". And later that day, PAGASA classified the disturbance as a tropical depression, naming it "Dante" and issued public storm warning signal number one in the provinces of Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Catanduanes, Masbate, Burias Island, and Southern Quezon.[34] PAGASA also reported that Dante made landfall in the vicinty of Sorsogon within the Bicol region of the Philippines. Early on May 2, JTWC issued a TCFA as the depression was in an almost stationary position. Later that day, JMA classified Dante as a full depression. Early the next morning it became a tropical storm and was named Kujira. Kujira continued to strengthen and was upgraded to a severe tropical storm that afternoon. When it was over the Philippines it killed 27 people while 9 others are missing.[35] The JMA upgraded the system to a typhoon early on May 4. Kujira intensified quickly, doubling in strength from a Category 2 typhoon to a Category 4-equivalent typhoon within 24 hours. On May 6, The JTWC reported that Kujira was in its beginning stages of becoming extratropical, with the low level circulation center almost fully exposed in association with increasing vertical wind shear and lower sea surface temperatures in the region. Late that, JMA downgraded Kujira to a Severe Tropical Storm as strong wind shear weakens the system. Then early on May 7, JTWC issued its last advisory on Kujira, already reporting it as an extratropical system. JMA continued to issue warnings on the system while at the same time it was downgraded to a tropical storm. Later on May 7, Kujira weakened further, becoming a fully extratropical cyclone.

While in the Philippine area of responsibility, Kujira caused some 625,709,464 worth of damage to crops and livestock in Albay, Camarines Norte, Masbate and Sorsogon. It also caused some 102 million pesos worth of damage to communal irrigation systems in the region.[36] The NDCC update as of 6AM PST May 12 declared 28 dead, one missing and 5 injured. Further, 383,457 persons in 609 barangays of 60 municipalities and 4 cities in 5 provinces of Region V were affected by the storm. Damages are worth PhP1,228,422,344 Million or PhP1.228 Billion of which PhP 625,709,464 are agricultural losses and PhP529.525 Million in infrastructural. Houses destroyed were at 2387, of which 138 were total and 2249 partial.[37]

JMA Tropical Depression 03

Tropical depression (JMA)
 
DurationMay 1 – May 4
Peak intensity55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min);
1002 hPa (mbar)

On April 20, an area of disturbed weather formed southeast of Yap. The JTWC issued a warning that the potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours was "poor". In the next few days, it moved northwest slowly. On April 27, the JTWC and the JMA reported that the disturbance was dissipating. But the next day, the storm regenerated and was forecast to move southeast slowly. On April 30, JTWC issued a potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours as upgraded to "fair". And early on May 2, JMA reported that disturbance had strengthened into a minor tropical depression. The JTWC also issued a TCFA on that day. At noon, the depression started weakening, due to strong wind shear and the JTWC canceled the TCFA and noted that the system had greatly weakened due to the strong wind shear. [38]. The JMA continued to issue warnings for the depression until May 4 when the system became a developed low pressure area, and only the low-level circulation was left. Late on May 7, the remnant of the tropical depression dissipated completely.

Typhoon Chan-hom (Emong)

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 2 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationMay 1 – May 13
Peak intensity120 km/h (75 mph) (10-min);
975 hPa (mbar)

On May 1, an area of convectional cloudiness associated with an area of disturbed weather formed southeast of Nha Trang, Vietnam and associated with a remnant of Tropical depression Crising to form a new stronger area of disturbed weather system. JTWC monitored the disturbance as "Fair" for developing due to low vertical wind shear and an upper level anticyclone to the east of the system. Later on the JMA designated the low pressure as a minor tropical depression reporting the outlook track as southwestward. The JTWC issued a TCFA on the system once the convection increased and became better organized although with an exposed LLC east of its convection. Early morning of May 3, the JMA begun issuing tropical cyclone advisories on the system forecasting it to become a tropical storm later in the afternoon as it tracked eastwards. On May 3, the JTWC designated the disturbance as Tropical Depression 02W, and the JMA named the storm Chan-hom. Later on May 4, Chan-hom strengthened into a severe tropical storm. On May 6, the system moved into the Philippine Area of Responsibility from the west and was named as Emong. Later that day the JMA upgraded the severe tropical storm to a typhoon. On May 7, PAGASA reported that Chan-hom had made landfall at the northern tip of Bolinao, Pangasinan. After traversing Pangasinan it lashed La Union, Ilocos Sur, Benguet, Nueva Vizcaya, Ifugao, Mt. Province, Kalinga and Isabela. Pangasinan (which recorded 150mm of rain from Emong) and La Union were the worst hit. The provinces in Central Luzon, Ilocos, Cordillera Administrative Region and Cagayan Valley, together with Metro Manila and parts of Southern Luzon, generally experienced more than 100 mm in the 24 hour period on May 7. Rains, however, lasted from May 6-8. NDCC updates on 6:00AM on May 13 put dead at 50, injured at 47 and missing at 13 and damage worth 690 million pesos in agriculture, infrastructure and private property. It further left 204,000 persons affected, damaged 23280 houses of which 6080 are totally damaged and 17200 partially damaged in Pangasinan and induced 11 landslide occurrences in Zambales and Cagayan [39]PAGASA expected the typhoon to weaken quickly, which it did.[40] On May 8, Chan-hom was downgraded to a Tropical Storm and later, to a Tropical Depression. JMA issued its last warning early on May 9, followed by the JTWC. PAGASA held on to Emong (Chan-hom) until much later that day, when it was declared an area of low pressure. JTWC then re-issued advisories on the restrengthening depression on May 10. Later on May 11, Chan-hom became a subtropical depression, therefore, JMA and PAGASA designated it a tropical depression while JTWC declared it dissipated , PAGASA reported Tropical Depression Chan-hom degenerated into Subtropical Disturbance ex-Chan-hom and issued the final advisory for the system because it had almost completely dissipated. However, JMA did not issue the final advisory for the tropical depression until early on May 13, when then circulation dissipated and it began accelerate northeastward in association of the jet stream and it was forecast to become extratropical or be absorbed by a cold front.

Severe Tropical Storm Linfa

Severe tropical storm (JMA)
Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 14 – June 23
Peak intensity110 km/h (70 mph) (10-min);
975 hPa (mbar)

Early on June 10, the JTWC reported that an area of disturbed had formed about 140 km (85 miles) to the southeast of Palau.[41] The disturbance had a long low level circulation center with deep convection developing in the southwestern quadrant.[41] A tropical wave was providing good outflow which was helping to enhance the deep convection over the low level circulation center, which was by then located in an area of moderate vertical wind shear.[41] Over the next few days the disturbance gradually developed until early on June 14, when the JMA reported that the disturbance had become the fifth tropical depression.[42] The JTWC then issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert later that day with the disturbance by then located about 520 km (320 miles) to the southeast of Manila.[43] However, later that day, the JMA issued their final advisory on the tropical depression and downgraded it to an area of low pressure, whilst the JTWC cancelled their TCFA because there had been significant decrease in convection near the low level circulation center. A Quikscat pass had shown that the low level circulation center was, that time, embedded in a monsoon trough of low pressure whilst upper air observations showed that there were significant amounts of dry air. However, the upper level environment remained favorable with low amounts of vertical wind shear. During June 15 and 16, the remants of the depression brought heavy rainfall to the various islands of Luzon as it moved through the Philippines. They moved into the South China Sea sooner that day, the remnants started to rapidly develop with a second TCFA being issued late on June 16. The JMA then reported early the next morning that the disturbance had reintensifed into a second minor tropical depression. Later that day, The JTWC then followed suit designating the depression as 03W. In the morning of June 18, the depression rapidly intensified and reached tropical storm status, being named Linfa.

Tropical Storm Nangka (Feria)

Tropical storm (JMA)
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 22 – Still Active
Peak intensity75 km/h (45 mph) (10-min);
994 hPa (mbar)
Rainfall in the vicinity of the South China Sea between June 18 and June 25, 2009. The greatest amounts of rainfall appear in deep blue. Superimposed onto the rainfall amounts is a storm track for Nangka. The colour shift on the storm track indicates where the storm intensified from a tropical depression to a tropical storm.

On June 16, an area of disturbed weather formed about 170 km (120 miles) to the northeast of Palau Island. In the next few days, the disturbance showed improvement but, its LLCC was undefined.[44] Early on June 20, the disturbance suddenly strengthened and its LLCC began to consolidate as well as significant banding all over the system.[45] The disturbance was also located under low vertical wind shear. Early on June 22, JTWC issued an advisory that the potential of the formation of a significant tropical cyclone within 24 hours was upgraded to "Fair" because of its well-defined LLCC and was located in a favorable area.[46] Around 0600 UTC that same day, the JMA classified the disturbance as a minor Tropical Depression,[47] while the JTWC released a TCFA on the disturbance. This was because convection had begun to organize and upper-level analysis showed a cyclonic center on the east, just west of Guam and a cyclonic flow around its consolidating Low Level Circulation Centre. After 4 hours, JTWC issued its first warning and named it as Tropical Depresson 04W. Early on June 23, PAGASA issued its first warning on Tropical Depression and assigned its local named "Feria". In the afternoon, Nangka (Feria) made its first landfall on Borongan, Eastern Samar at 5:00PM/PST or 0900 UTC. and made its second landfall in Masbate around 10:00PM/PST or 1400 UTC. On June 24, Nangka rapidly slow down while moving on Mindoro area. Nangka then made its third landfall at Calapan city,Mindoro at 12nn PST/ 0430 UTC. and after crossing mindoro for 8 hours, Nangka (Feria) was downgraded by PAGASA into a Tropical depression. while both JMA and JTWC still classified Nangka as a Tropical storm on that day.

In Eastern Samar, more than 800 people were stranded after ferry service was canceled.[48] High winds downed a large tree, destroying the roof of one home and damaging three cars.[49] Unusually strong severe thunderstorms developed over parts of the Philippines along the outer bands of Nangka. In San Pascual, Bauan and Batangas City, large hail fell during a strong storm. Residents reported that they have never seen hail before. In Barangay, 4 in Bauan town, a rare tornado struck, downing several trees, damaging homes and signs. Heavy rains produced by the storm also flooded numerous regions, some reporting waist-deep water.[50] Later reports confirmed the tornado destroyed 23 homes. In Cebu, one person was killed and seven were left missing.[51] At least 500 people were also left homeless due to the storm.[52] In Cavite,7000 was stranded on the port due to Nangka's winds and heavy rains. about 4 feet is the water wave in Cavite.[53] In Albay, more than 300 ship passengers were also stranded at the Albay port, Tabaco, Albay.[54] In Navotas and Malabon, the Navotas - Malabon river were produced high tide in the area. Almost 3 feet is the height of flood in the area.[55]

As of 24 June, Nangka (Feria) has caused 6 deaths and left 11 people missing. Property damage from the storm is estimated at PHP 2.8 million (US$54,000).[56]

Current Information

At 2 p.m., Tropical Storm Nangka was estimated to be about 280 kilometres southeast of Hong Kong (near 20.3 degrees north 115.8 degrees east) and is forecast to move north-northwest at about 22 kilometres per hour towards the coast of eastern Guangdong.

Current Warnings

HKO as of 2 p.m HKT (0600 UTC) June 26, issued the following Storm Warning :

HKO issued a Stand by signal no.1 is in force

This means that Tropical Storm Nangka entered the 800 km distance on Hong Kong that may affect them.
