The 2014 Pacific typhoon season is an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season will run throughout 2014, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean to the north of the equator between 100°E and 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones which can often result in a cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) will name a tropical cyclone should it be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 65 km/h (40 mph) anywhere in the basin, whilst the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N–25°N regardless of whether or not a tropical cyclone has already been given a name by the JMA. Tropical depressions that are monitored by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) are given a number with a "W" suffix.

Seasonal forecasts

During each season, several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, and typhoons will form during a season and/or how many tropical cyclones will affect a particular country.[1] These agencies include the Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) Consortium of the University College London, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau.[1][2][3] During October 2013, the VNCHMF predicted that one to two tropical cyclones would develop and possibly affect Vietnam between November 2013 and April 2014.[4]

DurationJanuary 10 – January 21
Peak intensity65 km/h (40 mph) (10-min);
1002 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Tropical Storm Lingling (2014)

On January 10, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had formed southwest of Palau.[5][6] The JMA then downgraded it to a low pressure area on January 12, as it affected the Philippines.[7][8] On January 14, JMA reupgraded this system to tropical depression again.[9] The PAGASA then named the system Agaton early on January 17.[10] The next day, its circulation became a bit exposed as it intensifies into a tropical storm by the JMA, naming it Lingling.[11] The JTWC upgraded it to a tropical depression, giving the designation 01W later that day.[12]

Floods and landslides killed 70 people in the Philippines.[13]

A cluster of thunderstorms formed late on January 23. On January 29, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had formed east of Yap.[14][15] Two days later, both the JMA and PAGASA started to upgraded it to a tropical storm, naming it Kajiki by the JMA and Basyang by the PAGASA.[16][17]. According to PAGASA the storm made landfall over Dinagat Island.

Names

International names

See also: Lists of tropical cyclone names and Tropical cyclone naming

Tropical cyclones are named from a set of five naming lists set by the JMA's Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in Tokyo, Japan, once they reach tropical storm strength.[18] Names are contributed by members of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. Each of the 14 nations and territories submitted ten names, which are used in alphabetical order, by the official English name of the country.[19] The next 25 names on the naming list are listed here along with their international numeric designation, if they are used. The next name to be used this season is Faxai.

Philippines

The PAGASA uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year be exhausted, names will be taken from an auxiliary list, the first ten of which are published each year before the season starts. Names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2018 season. This is the same list used in the 2010 season, with the exception of Jose which replaced Juan. Names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in gray. The next name to be used this season is Caloy.[20]

Season effects

This table will list all the storms that developed in the northwestern Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line and north of the equator during 2014. It will include their intensity, duration, name, areas affected, deaths, and damage totals. Classification and intensity values will be based on estimations conducted by the JMA. All damage figures will be in 2014 USD. Damages and deaths from a storm will include when the storm was a precursor wave or an extratropical low.
