The Pacific Disaster Center’s (PDC Global) Friday, December 5, 2025, Tropical Cyclone Activity Report…for the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and adjacent Seas

Current Tropical Cyclones:

Tropical Cyclone 06P is located approximately 165 NM east-southeast of Papeete, Tahiti – Final Warning

 

Northeast Pacific Ocean: There are no Tropical Cyclones

The last regularly scheduled Tropical Cyclone Activity Report of the 2025 eastern North Pacific Hurricane Season has been issued. Routine issuance of this section of the PDC product will resume on May 15, 2026. During the off-season, Special Tropical Weather Outlooks will be issued as conditions warrant by the NHC.

Central Pacific Ocean: There are no Tropical Cyclones

The 2025 central North Pacific hurricane season has ended. As such, the final routine Tropical Cyclone Activity Report for the 2025 season has been issued. Routine issuance of this section of the PDC product will resume on June 1, 2026. During the off-season, Special Tropical Weather Outlooks will be issued as conditions warrant by the CPHC.

 

Western Pacific, Indian Ocean, and adjacent Seas:

Southwestern Pacific

Tropical Cyclone 06P – Final Warning

According to the JTWC warning number 3, sustained winds were 35 knots with gusts to near 45 knots
Animated multi-spectral satellite imagery (msi) shows the system has lost much of its central convection due to shear and is now positioned within the baroclinic zone. Sea surface temperatures will soon drop below 28 c and the circulation will encounter 30+ knot wind shear which will degrade the rest of the system structure. Tropical cyclone 06P will complete subtropical transition by 12 hours.

Western Pacific

>>> There’s an area of disturbed weather being referred to as Invest 93W which is located approximately 156 NM east-southeast of Legazpi

Animated enhanced infrared satellite imagery (eir) depicts deep convection building near the consolidating low level circulation center (llcc). a 051346z ascat reveals 15-20 knot winds starting to consolidate along the western periphery.

Environmental analysis for the area indicates marginally favorable environment with high vertical wind shear (20-30 kts), warm sea surface temperatures (29-30 c), and good poleward outflow aloft.

Global deterministic models are in good agreement that 93W will move west over the Philippines. Global ensemble models are in good agreement that 93W will move west over the Philippines, with ecens showing a higher intensity between the two models.

Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 18 to 23 knots.

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