altogether until September 25. The remnants of the storm later dissipated near Hong Kong. The remnants of the storm, combined with Tropical Storm Kit, later brought flooding to southern China. A total of nine people were killed by the floods. Typhoon Nelson (Paring) Following a series of tropical cyclone outbreaks, there was a lull in tropical cyclone activity due to the presence of cold, dry air, which caused the monsoon trough to recede south to its climatological position. Within the trough, an area of disturbed weather formed around . The disturbance slowly organized, and on September 30, the JMA upgraded the disturbance into a tropical depression. A dramatic increased in convection resulted in the issuance of a TCFA at 09:00 UTC on October 1. Later that day, both the JTWC and JMA upgraded the system into Tropical Storm Nelson. The newly named storm tracked westward towards the Philippine Islands, and then west-northwestward as it tracked along the periphery of the subtropical ridge. On October 2, the JTWC classified Nelson as a typhoon, and nine hours later, the typhoon began to clear out an eye. On October 3, the JMA upgraded Nelson to a typhoon. The storm subsequently entered a period of rapid deepening, and on October 4, the JTWC declared Nelson a super typhoon. Shortly thereafter, the JTWC estimated peak intensity of while the JMA reported a peak intensity of . Not long after its peak, Nelson rounded the western edge of a subtropical ridge and slowly weakened as it accelerated northeast, passing about approximately southeast of Okinawa, where of rain fell. The typhoon quickly lost deep convection, and on October 8, the JTWC issued its last warning on the system. The next day, the JMA declared Nelson extratropical, although its remnants were still identifiable for a couple more days. JMA Tropical Storm Twenty-five Made landfall in Vietnam and was not monitored by the JTWC, Typhoon Odessa (Seniang) As the previous storm was weakening at high latitudes, a new area of convection formed around south-southeast of Minami-Tori-shima. Tracking west-northwest, the JMA upgraded the system into a tropical depression on October 9. The next day, the JTWC issued a TCFA. On October 11, the JMA upgraded the depression into a tropical storm, and twelve hours later, satellite intensity estimates prompted the JTWC to follow suit. Cool air aloft aided in intensification as Odessa tracked northwest, and midday on October 12, Odessa
