West Pacific Typhoon Season Forecast 2024

Early Outlook for the 2024 Typhoon Season

The 2023 typhoon season was the fourth consecutive season with below-average numbers of tropical storms and typhoons.  Only 17 named storms formed last year, with 10 becoming typhoons.  That’s well below the 30-year average of 26 named storms and 16 typhoons. The West Pacific has been quiet so far this year, with not a single depression or named storm as of mid-April.  Early indications are that 2024 will be another relatively quiet typhoon season.
