The High pressure ridge over China is strong during January, unless a very strong Frontal System pull this system up. As of now, the steering current will track it West to WNW. As for the climate, I can see a moderate La Niņa, as what NOAA says. It's really hard to predict how intense this phenomenon will be. Let's just wait. As for the US, the Nat'l Hurricane Center still predicts an ACTIVE 2006, with again - series of major hurricanes affecting Fla and Gulf Coast. http://www.columbia.edu/~ahs129/Papers/camargo_sobel_jcl_2005.pdf

Hi Raf,

Here in the Philippines, there is a high chance of increasing number of Tropical Cyclones but less Super Typhoons. As you know, a La Niņa Season means more Tropical Storms and less Super Typhoons and their formation is close to the Philippines or over the Philippine Sea and South China Sea. I cannot guarantee you the precise outcome of this phenomenon, but it may change. We'll see. Here's a nice article regarding the Tropical Cyclone Genesis during El Niņa or La Niņa:
