   Ocean temp maps showed normal to below normal surface temps around the Philippines. This is Jeff Masters take on invisible heat. I am not sure how heat 328 ft down covered by cool water affects cyclones.

   By Dr. Jeff Masters
   A remarkable warming of the sub-surface Pacific waters east of the Philippines in recent decades, due to a shift in atmospheric circulation patterns and ocean currents that began in the early 1990s, could be responsible for the rapid intensification of Super Typhoon Haiyan. The waters at a depth of 100 meters (328 feet) beneath Haiyan during its rapid intensification phase were a huge 4 – 5°C (7 – 9°F) above average.
