Tropical Depression 05W (TD05W) also known as Dodong in the Philippines was caught by infrared NASA satellite imagery on June 8 at 1741 UTC (1:41 p.m. EDT).

That indicates the coldest, strongest thunderstorms within the tropical depression. Some of the strongest thunderstorms at that time were over western Luzon and stretched out over the South China Sea….
