2017 Pacific typhoon season
The JMA reported that a non-tropical low had transitioned into a tropical depression north-northwest of Wake Island early on July 19. Twelve hours later it had strengthened to a tropical storm. About halfway through July 22, the system became the first typhoon of the season, and fluctuations in intensity occurred until late on July 29, when it slowed down, and shortly thereafter, explosive intensification ensued. After it reached peak intensity, it quickly began to weaken for a short period of time before slowing the rate of weakening. It briefly accelerated, before yet again, it begun to stall near Japan for some time before moving north and dissipating in the Sea of Japan. Total economic losses in Japan were counted to be US$100 million.
