| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Swells from a tropical depression built up seas across the Marianas. The higher seas and swells caused the death of a swimmer. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | On September 20th a weak tropical disturbance moved across the Marianas. This brought 2 to 3 inches of rainfall to the island. A wind gust to 28 knots (32 mph) was observed at the NWS office with higher gusts seen at Andersen AFB. The heavy rain necessitated the diversion of five flights from the International Airport to|Andersen AFB. ||The disturbance moved west of the Marianas and eventually became Tropical Depression 21W on the morning of the 22nd. The system continued to intensify and became Tropical Storm Dujuan as it moved westward. Monsoon winds associated with the intensifying system generated higher seas across the Marianas of between 8 and 9 feet early in the day on the 22nd as observed by the Ritidian Buoy. They did subside to around 7 feet by about 6 pm.||On the 22nd at around 6:30 pm a male Japanese swimmer 23 years of age was observed in distress by the Guam Nikko Hotel Beach Staff. The staff lost sight of the man and a search was conducted by Guam Fire and Police units, U.S. Navy, and U.S.|Coast Guard personnel. Rescue divers from the Guam Fire Department recovered the body of the young man on the morning of the 23rd. His body was found in front of the hotel in 4 to 6 feet of water. |
