🌀 Tropical Storm Alvin the first named Tropical Cyclone of this year in the North East Pacific basin has completely lost Tropical Storm status and looking at the satellite imagery the low level cyclonic circulation is naked without the cental dense overcast. It may have some hybrid (Subtropical Cyclone) characteristics but I haven't checked that yet.

🌀 Tropical Depression 04W in the Philippine sea has reached Tropical Storm intensity on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (due to them using 1 min average winds) but yet to reach Tropical Storm intensity on the Japan Meteorological Agency's scale.

It may intensify becoming a Tropical Storm on that basins official scale before making landfall in Taiwan or mainland China, it doesn't look like it'll reach Severe Tropical Storm status let alone Typhoon intensity though still worth watching.

Next name in that basin is Mun.

🌀 Tropical Depression 94E in the North East Pacific looks like it will become the next name cyclone in that region with a few models even showing the posibility of it becoming a weak Category 1 Hurricane. The next name in that basin is Barbara if it reachs Tropical Storm intensity East of 140W and Akoni if west of that (to the International Date Line).

There is also 🌀 Tropical Depression 94B in the Bay of Bengal looking at the various models it doesn't look like it'll reach Cyclonic Storm intensity (IMD Scale) though if it does it'll get the name Hikaa.
