On February 16, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported that a tropical depression had developed over the Philippine Sea.[1] Just two hours later, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on the system, while it was located roughly 15 miles (25 km) to the east of Babeldaob, Palau. The depression displayed convective banding features, wrapping into a disorganized low-level center of circulation. Within an area favorable for further development, with low to moderate vertical wind shear, strong poleward outflow, and 84–86°F (29-30°C) sea surface temperatures, the system began to intensify.[2] By 3:00 UTC on February 17, the depression had entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), and was given the name Auring by the PAGASA. This made Dujuan the first named storm within the PAR in 2021.[3] Six hours later, the JTWC released its first warning on the tropical depression, giving it the designation 01W.[4] As the system tracked to the west-northwest, it continued to strengthen until it was upgraded into a tropical storm by the JTWC and by the PAGASA in the early hours of February 18.[5][6] At 7:00 UTC that same day, the JMA followed suit with the JTWC and PAGASA and upgraded the system into a tropical storm and named the system Dujuan.[7]

At 03:00 UTC on February 19, the PAGASA upgraded Dujuan into a severe tropical storm.[8]

Current storm information

As of 00:00 UTC February 19, Tropical Storm Dujuan (Auring) is located near 7°12′N 130°54′E / 7.2°N 130.9°E / 7.2; 130.9 (Dujuan), or about 747 nautical miles (1,385 km; 860 mi) southeast of Manila, Philippines. Maximum 10-minute sustained winds are at 40 knots (75 km/h; 45 mph), while maximum 1-minute sustained winds are at 45 knots (85 km/h; 50 mph), gusting up to 60 knots (110 km/h; 70 mph). The minimum central barometric pressure is 996 hPa (29.41 inHg), and the system is almost stationary.
