Typhoon Season for CFAY runs from June 1 through October 31. CFAY's default posture of readiness during Typhoon Season is TCCOR 5. Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness or TCCOR levels shift as a typhoon approaches. Knowing what each TCCOR stage means can help you better prepare for an approaching storm.
