Overview of Tropical Cyclones in November 2015

        One tropical cyclone, named In-fa, occurred over the western North Pacific in November 2015.

        In-fa formed as a tropical depression over the western North Pacific about 2 240 km east-southeast of Guam on the morning of 17 November. It generally moved west-northwestwards and intensified gradually. In-fa developed into a super typhoon over the sea areas about 340 km southwest of Guam on the morning of 21 November, reaching its peak intensity with an estimated sustained wind of 185 km/h near its centre. It became slow-moving two days later and started to recurve. In-fa subsequently moved to the northeast and weakened, before finally evolving into an extratropical cyclone over the western North Pacific southwest of Iwo Jima on 26 November.
