There are no active tropical cyclones in the Pacific and Indian Oceans…or adjacent seas

PDC Global Hazards Atlas displaying 3-hour precipitation accumulation…and an area of disturbed weather over the South Indian Ocean
However, there’s an area of disturbed weather over the South Indian Ocean, being referred to as Invest 96S, circled in yellow above…that has a low chance of developing
According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), satellite imagery shows a broad low level circulation center, with deep flaring convection beginning to consolidate towards the center
Upper air analysis indicates a favorable environment, with weak 5-10 knot wind shear…and good radial outflow
Global models are consistent in further developing this area into a tropical cyclone
Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 20-25 knots.
The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours is low

PDC Global Hazards Atlas displaying 3-hour precipitation accumulation…and two areas of disturbed weather over the South Pacific Ocean
There’s a second area of disturbed weather over the South Pacific, being referred to as Invest 97P, circled in yellow above…that has a low chance of developing (the disturbance to the left on the Atlas image above)
According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), satellite imagery shows a compact weak low level circulation center
Global models are in fairly good agreement on the development of this system
Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 15-20 knots.
The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours is low
Finally, there’s yet another area of disturbed weather over the South Pacific Ocean, being referred to as Invest 98P, circled in yellow above…that has a low chance of developing (the disturbance to the right on the Atlas image above)
According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), satellite imagery shows a broad low level circulation center, with deep flaring convection…consolidating into cloud bands converging towards the center
Upper air analysis indicates a marginal environment, with moderate 15-20 knot wind shear…being offset by good radial outflow
Global models agree on development of this system
Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 20-25 knots.
The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours is low
Eastern North Pacific
The eastern Pacific hurricane season officially ended on November 30. Therefore, the last regularly scheduled tropical weather outlook of the 2015 hurricane season has occurred. Routine issuance of the tropical weather outlook will resume on May 15, 2016. During the off-season, special tropical weather outlooks will be issued as conditions warrant.The Pacific Disaster Center (PDC) will begin coverage of the eastern Pacific again on May 15, 2016. Here’s the 2015 hurricane season summary
