🔍 Key Concepts

• Tropical cyclone climatology in the western North Pacific • Relationship between sea surface temperature and typhoon formation • Typical typhoon season vs. peak activity in that basin

💭 Think About

• Which months in the western North Pacific are historically known for the highest number of typhoons? • How does the timing of warmest sea surface temperatures relate to the most active part of the season? • Among the choices, which group of months actually covers the core of the traditional "typhoon season" in that region?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which months have the highest frequency of named storms in the western North Pacific, not just the first or last storms of the year • Check which option includes both late summer and early autumn, when waters are warmest and atmospheric conditions are most favorable • Eliminate any ranges that fall mainly in winter or early spring, when tropical cyclone activity there is relatively low
