Might we expect an opposing season of more colliding systems?

What's it gonna collide with? It'll dissipate before it reaches monsoon zones, won't it?

65kts is at the minimal end of tropical revolving storms isn't it?
The double maxima for storms in the Champa Sea area are typically May and July-Dec, isn't it? So this doesn't seem so unusual, I guess.

I think the water is of more concern than the wind.

Erm...yeah.

To whom? I'm sure you understand how wind and water interact in storms... pressure gradients... storm surges... etc... and how wind affects aircraft and land vehicles more often than water.

Yeah, it's not today's weather you need to worry about.

Pull up the revised 7-day forecast.

Rain, heavy at times, this time of year.
Imagine that.
