Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionDuring mid-April 2021, an area of convection persisted several hundred miles southwest of Guam, with the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) designating it as Invest 94W. A favorable environment consisting of good outflow, low wind shear, and warm sea surface temperatures allowed intensification of the system.[1] On April 12, the Japan Meteorological Agency designated the system as a tropical depression, while it was located south of Woleai.[2][3] On April 13, the JTWC upgraded the storm to a tropical depression and assigned it the designation 02W.[4] At 18:00 UTC, the JMA upgraded the cyclone into a tropical storm and named it Surigae.[5]
