Tropical depression twenty five (TD25W) formed in the western Pacific Ocean west of Yap on October 15, 2017. After that the intensifying tropical cyclone moved into the Philippine Sea. Tropical storm Lan recently moved toward the north and was upgraded to typhoon Lan. Maximum sustained wind speeds today (October 19, 2017) were estimated to have reached 75 kts (~86 mph). This wind speed makes it a category one on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale. Extremely warm ocean waters (30-31 degrees Celsius) along Lan's path are providing fuel for further intensification. On October 18, 2017 at
