The 2020 Pacific typhoon season has been “less active” than expected. That was the narrative before we woke up to a Super Typhoon bearing down on the Philippines this morning.

Supertyphoon Rolly/Goni is the sixth tropical cyclone to enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) in the last month and a half.

That’s one a week.
