2020 Pacific typhoon season

2544:. Early on September 4, the JTWC assessed that Haishen became a Category 4-equivalent super typhoon – with 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 135 kt (155 mph; 250 km/h), with a clear, symmetrical eye visible on satellite imagery. Haishen's Haishen's latitude increased, the ocean heat content in the area decreased, resulting of weakening below super typhoon status. Later that day, the system left the PAR and PAGASA issued its last bulletin on the typhoon. As the system continued its northward track toward the Japanese archipelago, it continued to weaken and became a Category 3-equivalent typhoon, and not too long after it weakened to a Category 2-equivalent typhoon as it neared the 6594: 75: 16649: 687:

On August 6, TSR issued their third and final forecast for the season, lowering their numbers to 21 named storms, 13 typhoons and 5 intense typhoons. They mentioned that the 2020 season is expected to be one of the "least active typhoon seasons on record", with a predicted ACE index barely half of the normal and a 96% probability of being a below-average season.

The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired, by both 3614: 3855: 2589: 3769:. Now a tropical storm, the system was named Molave by the JMA. As it nears over the Bicol Region, PAGASA later upgraded Molave into a severe tropical storm on October 25. Before landfall, all agencies were later upgraded to typhoon status, which prompted the warning for the province to Signal #3 in response to the approach of the typhoon. At 18:10 PHT (10:10 UTC), Molave made its first landfall in 1264:(47 mph). Six hours later, the JTWC upgraded Nuri to a tropical storm. However, later in the same day, the JTWC downgraded Nuri into a tropical depression, citing that the storm has drifted into high vertical wind shear. The JMA followed suit, downgrading Nuri into a depression. The JTWC issued their final warning on Nuri as the storm subsequently made landfall in 2014:.
