Storm type
triangle Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depression

On June 21, a tropical disturbance formed east of Yap, and it developed multiple vortices. Early on June 25, a vortex developed well within the low-pressure area, prompting the JMA considering it as a tropical depression north of Palau; also, the JTWC issued a TCFA on the system later that day. On June 26, the PAGASA upgraded the system to a tropical depression and named it Dindo. Later that day, the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm and named it Doksuri, and the JTWC upgraded Doksuri to a tropical depression. Late on the same day, the JTWC upgraded Doksuri to a tropical storm. On June 27, Doksuri’s low-level circulation center became exposed due to moderate easterly wind shear. On June 28, the JTWC downgraded Doksuri to a tropical depression, as the system’s exposed circulation center began to underwent a usual circulation center replacement cycle, which involves a circulation center to be replaced by another new circulation center. On June 29, the HKO issued the Strong Wind signal No.3, as the system was located 170 kilometers from Hong Kong.
