The Pacific Disaster Center’s (PDC Global) Friday, June 20, 2025, Tropical Cyclone Activity Report…for the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and adjacent Seas

Current Tropical Cyclones:

There are no Tropical Cyclones

 

Northeast Pacific Ocean:  There are no Tropical Cyclones

Offshore of Central America and Southern Mexico:

>>> An area of low pressure is forecast to develop early next week off the coast of Central America. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development after that time and a tropical depression could form as the system moves west-northwestward off the coasts of Central America and southern Mexico.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 7 days…medium…50 percent

 

Central Pacific Ocean: There are no Tropical Cyclones

Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 7-days.

 

Western Pacific, Indian Ocean, and adjacent Seas: There are no Tropical Cyclones

Western Pacific

>>> There’s an area of disturbed weather being referred to as Invest 95W, which is located approximately 498 NM north-northwest of Guam

Animated multi-spectral satellite imagery and a microwave image depict flaring convection over a consolidating low level circulation center (llcc). Furthermore, another image emphasizes a broad circulation within the area.

Analysis indicates 95W is currently in a marginally favorable environment for development with low (10-15 knot) vertical wind shear, weak divergence aloft and warm sea surface temperatures. A tropical upper tropospheric trough (tutt) cell over the western portion of the system is currently degrading the upper-level environment.

Global models are in fair agreement that 95W will track northwestward and develop over the next couple days as the system moves into a more favorable upper-level environment.

Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 13 to 18 knots.

The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours is low.
