The same could be said for “Tropical Cyclone ‘Toni’” – named so by the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA); Tropical Depression 24W by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).
The system pretty much dissipated as the low-level circulation center became exposed and convection was lost due to cold air.
I was going to go off on this long rant about why the JTWC and PAGASA are issuing advisories for a system the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre – Tokyo (RSMC) doesn’t even acknowledge. But, I won’t. The system was quite likely a depression. It is nothing now. And, I’m done discussing it.
Meanwhile, the remnants of cyclone Mirinae have killed 11 in Vietnam, according to the Associated Press. Two are missing. That same article mentions the Philippine death toll has not risen above 20.
There are no active cyclones across the globe this morning.
