The National Meteorology Bureau of the Imaginary Lands of Nicholas (NMBILN) will issue a tropical cyclone forecast in early 2014, alongside with the University of Watersauga.

In addition to NMBILN issuing forecasts and maintaining storm statuses for each storm, the NMBILN has also partnered with the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) to provide tropical strength data for each cyclone. The peak strength rated by HKO is listed throughout the article.

Severe Typhoon Javid

 * Highest tropical cyclone warning signal issued: / 

Severe Typhoon Javid (Traditional Chinese: 強烈颱風夏菲特) was the first tropical cyclone to form in 2014. Combined with a wealth of moisture, warm ocean waters, and weak wind shear, the tropical wave was first identified on 14 June. It then explosively grew into a tropical depression, numbered "001" on the 15th, and subsequently jumping from a tropical depression to a severe tropical storm in a day on the 16th. The storm has since rapidly intensified into a severe typhoon within 48 hours.
