Well the Wpac has awoken after a very long respite. Tropical storm Conson was upgraded last night and is charging towards the Philippines as I type.
The season out here has been very slow so far this year, with Conson being only the 2nd named storm when we should be averaging almost 6 by now.
Conson put on a rapid burst of intensification and I do expect it to become a typhoon before hitting the Philippines. Shear is pretty low all the way to Luzon and SSTs are very warm.
Depending on how it develops overnight a trip to Manila tomorrow might not be out of the question....we'll see.
