The 2022 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 runs throughout 2022, 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)[nb 2] 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)[nb 3][nb 1] are given a number with a "W" suffix.

During the year 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. These agencies included the Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) Consortium of University College London, PAGASA and Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau. The first forecast was released by PAGASA on December 22, 2021, in their monthly seasonal climate outlook predicting the first half of 2022.[3] They predicted that only 0–3 tropical cyclones were expected to form or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility between January and March, while 1–4 tropical cyclones are expected to form between April and June. PAGASA also stated that ongoing La Niña conditions could last until it transitions back into ENSO-neutral conditions by the second quarter of 2022.[3]

A low-pressure area southeast of Da Nang, Vietnam developed into a tropical depression at 18:00 UTC on March 29.[4] At 21:00 UTC the same day, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) for the system.[5] On the next day, the agency upgraded to a tropical depression, assigning it the designation 01W. Shortly after, they issued their final advisory on the system.[6]

The JTWC first noted the existence of a tropical disturbance on April 3.[7] Favorable conditions near the system helped it develop, with the JMA recognizing the system as a tropical depression on April 6.[8] Later in the day, the JTWC issued a TCFA.[9] The following day, the JTWC recognized the system as a tropical depression and gave it the designation 02W.[10] At 21:00 UTC, the JTWC upgraded it to a tropical storm.[11] On April 8, the system developed into a tropical storm and was named Malakas by the JMA.[12]

Current storm information

As of 18:00 UTC April 8, Tropical Storm Malakas is located near 6°24′N 144°30′E / 6.4°N 144.5°E / 6.4; 144.5 (Malakas) or about 452 nautical miles (835 km; 520 mi) south of Andersen Air Force Base. Maximum 10-minute sustained winds are at 40 knots (75 km/h; 45 mph), with gusts up to 60 knots (110 km/h; 70 mph), while maximum 1-minute sustained winds are at 40 knots (75 km/h; 45 mph). The minimum central barometric pressure is 996 hPa (29.41 inHg), and the system is moving northwest at 8 kn (15 km/h; 9.2 mph).

Storm names

See also: Tropical cyclone naming and History of tropical cyclone naming

Within the Northwest Pacific Ocean, both the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assign names to tropical cyclones that develop in the Western Pacific, which can result in a tropical cyclone having two names.[13] The Japan Meteorological Agency's RSMC Tokyo — Typhoon Center assigns international names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee, should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph).[14] PAGASA 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 and 25°N even if the cyclone has had an international name assigned to it.[13] The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired, by both PAGASA and the Typhoon Committee.[14] Should the list of names for the Philippine region be exhausted then names will be taken from an auxiliary list of which the first ten are published each season. Unused names are marked in gray.

International names

Main article: List of retired Pacific typhoon names

A tropical cyclone is named when it is judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph).[15] The JMA selected the names from a list of 140 names, that had been developed by the 14 members nations and territories of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee.[16] Retired names, if any, will be announced by the WMO in 2023; though replacement names will be announced in 2024. The next 28 names on the naming list are listed here along with their international numeric designation, if they are used.

This season, PAGASA will use its own naming scheme, that will either develop within or move into their self-defined area of responsibility.[17] The names were taken from a list of names, that was last used during 2018 and are scheduled to be used again during 2026.[17] All of the names are the same except Obet, Rosal and Umberto which replaced the names Ompong, Rosita and Usman after they were retired.[17]
