Happy New Year! I promise to tell you the truth this year just like before.
The first post of the new year is about typhoons.
As P Gosselin and I reported, last July was the first July to have seen no typhoons formed at all.
Looking through the year 2020, the number of typhoons formed was 23 which is below the 1981-2010 average of 25.6.
The number of typhoons formed has been trending down since records began in 1951.
In addition, the number of typhoons making landfall in Japan last year was zero.
The only other years this happened were 1984, 1986, 2000 and 2008.
The trend for the number of typhoon landfalls in Japan remains flat since 1951.
