strength on June 1 and typhoon intensity the day after. On June 3, Polly reached peak intensity with sustained winds of and a minimum pressure of 978 mbar (hPa; ), after which it began to slowly taper off in strength and accelerate northeastward. On June 5, Polly passed southeast of Tokyo as a low-end typhoon before recurving towards the east-northeast. The extratropical remnants of Polly reached the Bering Sea and the coast of Alaska on June 10 before dissipating. Remaining offshore Japan, Polly's impacts were caused primarily by heavy rainfall. Flooding inundated caused 807 landslides and inundated over 36,000 homes. Another 11 houses and 270 bridges were washed away by the floods. Polly caused an estimated US$138 million in damage to crops, with the total damage figure in excess of US$143 million. Eighteen people were killed and another seventeen were injured; 20,702 others were homeless after Polly's passage. Tropical Storm Rose (Bebeng) Tropical Storm Rose began as a tropical depression in the South China Sea on June 6, and tracked southeastward towards Luzon in its early stages. On June 8, the JTWC began issuing warnings on Rose as a tropical storm while the cyclone was just off Luzon's northwestern coast. Slow strengthening continued thereafter, with Rose's peaking as a tropical storm as it was tracking across the Ryukyu Islands, though the storm's strongest winds were contained within a narrow rainband near the center. Moving rapidly northeastward, Rose passed over western Honshu as a lower-end tropical storm on June 13, briefly emerging into the Sea of Japan before recurving eastward and transitioning into an extratropical cyclone over northern Honshu on June 14. The remnants of Rose merged with another weak extratropical low off the Japanese coast, and this combined system continued eastward before dissipating over the Bering Sea on June 18.
