Summary
- Tropical storm Surigae formed in the Philippine Sea.
- Typhoon season peaks from early July to mid-December.

As of Thursday afternoon Japan time, Surigae has formed as a tropical storm within the Philippine Sea. This event occurs during the active typhoon season, which spans from early July through mid-December, though typhoons can form year-round.
These powerful storms commonly affect East and Southeast Asian regions, including the Philippines, Japan, and Taiwan. They are known to bring destructive winds and dangerous storm surges. The impact of typhoons extends to U.S. territories, as evidenced by the billions in damages Guam sustained from Typhoon Sinlaku in April 2026.
