South West Monsoon "pushing" cyclones to the east?

I find this year's tropical cyclone season intriguing. The trend, up to now at least, seems to be that cyclones move north west initially then bend to the north east. Japan has been hit several times (including by Roke now) as has the north east coast of China and Korea whilst several other cyclones have taken this track in the seas south of Japan. In previous years, many (not to say most) cyclones seem to have followed a generally north westerly path crossing the Philippines into the South China Sea and then making land fall in Southern China.

Any comments on why this year seems to be different? Has it anything to do with the strong south west monsoon this year?
