Timeline of the 2017 Pacific typhoon season
Remove ads

The 2017 Pacific typhoon season was a below-average season in terms of accumulated cyclone energy and the number of typhoons and super typhoons, and the first since the 1977 season to not produce a Category 5-equivalent typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The season produced a total of 27 named storms, 11 typhoons, and only two super typhoons, making it an average season in terms of storm numbers. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season runs throughout 2017, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Muifa, developed on April 25, while the season's last-named storm, Tembin, dissipated on December 26. This season also featured the latest occurrence of the first typhoon of the year since 1998, with Noru reaching this intensity on July 23.

Quick facts Timeline of the 2017 Pacific typhoon season, Season boundaries ...

This timeline documents all of the events of the 2017 Pacific typhoon season. Most of the tropical cyclones forming between May and November. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator between 100°E and the International Date Line. During the season, 42 systems were designated as tropical depressions by either, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), or other National Meteorological and Hydrological Services such as the China Meteorological Administration and the Hong Kong Observatory. As they run the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre for the Western Pacific, the JMA assigns names to tropical depressions should they intensify into a tropical storm. Tropical depressions that form in this basin are given a number with a "W" suffix by the JTWC. PAGASA also assigns local names to tropical depressions which form within or enter their area of responsibility; however, these names are not in common use outside of PAGASA's area of responsibility. In this season, 22 systems entered or formed in the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), of which 10 of them made landfall over the Philippines, a record-high number since 2009.

Notes

  1. While Bolaven formed during the 2017 season as being the last system, it was considered to be part of the 2018 Pacific typhoon season, based on the JMA's annual report, thus, Tembin would be the last system of this season while Bolaven would be the first system for the following season.[1][2]
  2. Operationally, 02W was a tropical depression by the JTWC before its landfall in Samar, but in post-season analysis, the agency determined it to be a weather disturbance at the time. Similarly, the agency never re-upgraded the system to a tropical depression as it emerged over the South China Sea until the end of the season.[7]
  3. A super typhoon is an unofficial category used by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) for a typhoon with winds of at least 130 kn (240 km/h; 150 mph).[75]
  4. Since March 23, 2022, PAGASA has defined a super-typhoon as a tropical cyclone with maximum 10-minute sustained winds of ≥185 kilometres per hour (100 kn; 51 m/s; 115 mph).[109]
