Since you've posted this, the WPAC has gone mad again. 92W just became Dolphin, and that potentially could have been the earliest date ever for a season's seventh storm. And Noul is just scaring me. The JTWC recently upgraded it to a super typhoon, and we already have our third Category 4 of the WPAC! It's only May 10! But it feels like August or September out there! Anyway, Noul should fortunately miss Luzon, but I won't be surprised if gusts of 170 knots (195 mph) are reported, and if Japan feels any impacts in the next few days. What a wild season it has been!
