Earlier coverage

On July 12, an area of low pressure formed near the Mariana Islands. During the next couple of days, the system slowly drifted westward while gradually organizing.

Early on July 14, the low-pressure area organized into a tropical depression to the southwest of the Mariana Islands. Later that day, the tropical depression entered the Philippine area of responsibility, and the PAGASA gave the system the name Falcon. Afterward, the system continued organizing while approaching Luzon.

July 15, 12:00 a.m. (UTC)

Location: 16.35 °N 130.5 °E (In Philippines sea)
Wind: 55 km/h, (35 mph) maintained (10-minute wind)
Pressure: 1006 mbar

On July 16, the tropical depression strengthened into a tropical storm, and the JMA named the system Danas. Shortly afterward, at 12:00 UTC that day, the JTWC upgraded Danas to a tropical storm.

At 12:00 a.m. on July 17 (PST), PAGASA reported that Danas (Falcon) had made landfall over at Gattaran, Cagayan and looped over the landmass. However, Danas's center of circulation still remained off the coast of Luzon, and the JMA and JTWC both stated that Danas did not make landfall at all.

Northeasterly wind shear had displaced much of Danas' convection to the west, and an area of low pressure had formed west of Vigan, Ilocos Sur.

This led to the formation of another area of low pressure over the western Philippines, within Danas' mass of convection, which had confused many forecasters and was also likely the source of confusion that had caused PAGASA to state that Falcon (Danas) had made landfall.

This low would later develop into another tropical depression. Later that day, the JMA reported that Danas intensified slightly to 40 kt (45 mph) winds. Later on the same day, Danas weakened back into a minimal tropical storm.

A tropical depression over the eastern part of the South China Sea

On July 17, a tropical depression formed from the western part of Tropical Storm Danas, over the eastern part of the South China Sea, just off the coast of Luzon.

Deep convection associated with Tropical Storm Danas (06W / #FalconPH) has decoupled from the storm's circulation center due to persistent moderate-strong easterly wind shear. The decoupled convection is found just off the west coast of Northern Luzon, while the exposed center is now located to the northeast of the island and is moving poleward towards Japan's Ryukyu islands.

Parts of Northern and Central Luzon will continue to experience rainy weather and gusty winds today and tomorrow (Thursday), however, the rainfall accumulation forecast for most of the region until tomorrow night has significantly decreased mainly due to Danas' deep convection being displaced too far west than previously anticipated. The copious rainfall amounts that were expected to fall over the region should now remain over the South China Sea instead. Residents/visitors in the mentioned regions should remain alert.

Moreover, a new low pressure area could be forming off the west coast of Northern Luzon associated with the decoupled convection from Tropical Storm Danas. Global models show this new system slowly moving towards Taiwan and Eastern China during the next couple of days with possible weak/slight development. Residents/visitors there should closely monitor and be prepared.

Typhoon Tapah in Ryukyu islands, Japan - September 21, 2019.

On September 17, a tropical depression formed from the remnants of Tropical Depression Marilyn east of Batanes. PAGASA later named the tropical cyclone as "Nimfa", as the JTWC issued a medium warning for Nimfa. Tropical Depression Nimfa was later given a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert but still classified it as a monsoon depression by JTWC. The JTWC later designated Nimfa as 18W. Tropical Depression Nimfa was upgraded by the Japan Meteorological Agency into a tropical storm, and was named Tapah.[118] A non-warning tropical depression in the South China Sea merged with the circulation of Tapah on Thursday, September 19. [119] Tapah still had a disorganized and mostly exposed center on September 19. Tapah later re-organized itself, and further intensified into a severe tropical storm.

Early morning on September 21 (PST), Tapah exited the PAR, and then the PAGASA gave its last advisory on it. It even intensified further as it passed the Ryukyu Islands. Tapah then intensified into a typhoon, per the JMA.

Typhoon Kammuri (Tisoy) - December 3, 2019.

As of 21:00 UTC December 2, Typhoon Kammuri (Tisoy) is located near 13.1°N 122.7°E, also about 166 nautical miles (305 km; 190 mi) east-southeast of Manila, Philippines. Maximum 10-minute sustained winds are at 90 knots (165 km/h; 105 mph), while maximum 1-minute sustained winds are at 105 knots (195 km/h; 120 mph), with gusts up to 130 knots (240 km/h; 150 mph). The minimum central barometric pressure is 950 hPa (28.05 inHg), and the system is moving westward at 13 kn (24 km/h; 15 mph).

Tropical storm Danas (Falcon) and Tropical Depression in the South China Sea - July 19, 2019 (Filipino (Tagalog))

Tropikal bagyo na Falcon (Danas) at Tropical Depression sa South China Sea - Hulyo 19, 2019 Noong Hulyo 12, isang lugar ng mababang presyon ang nabuo malapit sa mga Isla ng Mariana. Sa susunod na ilang araw, ang sistema ay unti-unti na lumilipat pakanluran habang unti-unting nag-aayos. Maaga noong Hulyo 14, ang mababang-presyon na lugar na inorganisa sa isang tropikal na depresyon sa timog-kanluran ng Mga Isla ng Mariana. Pagkaraan ng araw na iyon, ang tropical depression ay pumasok sa responsibilidad ng Pilipinas, at binigyan ng sistemang PAGASA ang pangalan ng Falcon. Pagkatapos nito, ang sistema ay patuloy na nag-oorganisa habang papalapit sa Luzon. Noong Hulyo 16, ang tropical depression ay pinalakas sa tropikal na bagyo, at pinangalanan ng JMA ang sistemang Danas. Makalipas ang ilang sandali, sa 12:00 UTC sa araw na iyon, na-upgrade ng JTWC si Danas sa isang tropikal na bagyo. Noong 12:00 ng umaga sa Hulyo 17 (PST), iniulat ng PAGASA na si Danas (Falcon) ay nag-landfall sa Gattaran, Cagayan at nakabase sa landmass. Gayunpaman, ang sentro ng sirkulasyon ni Danas ay nanatili pa rin sa baybayin ng Luzon, at ang JMA at JTWC ay nagsabi na ang Danas ay hindi nag-landfall sa lahat. Napapalibutan ng hangin ang Northeaster ng karamihan sa kombersyon ni Danas sa kanluran, at isang lugar ng mababang presyon ang nabuo sa kanluran ng Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Ito ang humantong sa pagbuo ng isa pang lugar ng mababang presyon sa kanluran ng Pilipinas, sa loob ng mass of convection ni Danas, na nalilito sa maraming mga forecasters at malamang din ang pinagmumulan ng pagkalito na naging sanhi ng PAGASA na ipahayag na ang Falcon (Danas) . Ang mababang ito ay mamaya ay lumaki sa isa pang tropikal na depresyon. Pagkaraan ng araw na iyon, iniulat ng JMA na si Danas ay lumakas nang bahagya sa 40 kt (45 mph) na hangin. Mamaya sa parehong araw, Danas weakened pabalik sa isang minimal tropikal na bagyo. Noong Hulyo 17, isang tropical depression na nabuo mula sa kanlurang bahagi ng Tropical Storm na si Danas, sa silangang bahagi ng South China Sea, sa labas ng baybayin ng Luzon.
