2014 Pacific typhoon season

The Pacific typhoon season in 2014 is an ongoing weather event under which the forming throughout the calendar year, tropical cyclones are summarized. Most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific Ocean west of the dateline and north of the equator, but from May to November. Such tropical cyclones are called typhoons. The east of the 180th meridian forming storms are the subject of the Pacific hurricane season of 2014.

Within the northwestern Pacific there are two meteorological organizations which assign names to the storms. This means that the same storm often receives two different names. The official designation by the Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) is replaced by a tropical storm once it reaches continued at any point in the northwestern Pacific ten-minute sustained winds of 35 knots ( 65 km / h). The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration ( PAGASA ), however, has tropical depressions names that form within the national responsibility or move there; this responsibility is roughly bounded between 115 ° and 135 ° east longitude and between 5 ° and 25 ° north latitude. PAGASA has also to be a local name, if the system has already been named by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Tropical depressions, which are observed by the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center, will receive a number with the suffix W.

Storms

Tropical depression

On January 10, reported the Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) that has formed southwest of Palau a tropical depression. The system moved over the course of the following day towards the west - northwest, was unable to significantly organize and was now south-east of Mindanao. On the evening of 11 January, the depression went on the Philippine province of Davao Oriental on the island of Mindanao in the country and moved the following day over the Celebes Sea. There it broke up, so that the JMA issued the final warning.

Tropical storm Lingling ( Agaton )

Early on January 14 began the Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) with the observation of a tropical depression that was located east of Mindanao. The depression began during the January 15 to make a loop and completed it the following day. Early on January 17, PAGASA warnings to the tropical depression began to issue and called it Agaton. At midnight on 18 January, the depression had intensified to the extent to be promoted by the JMA for the first tropical storm of the season, which was named Ling Ling. Three hours later, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center ( JTWC ) upgraded the system to a tropical depression and gave this the name of 01W. The storm reached at noon of the same day its peak with winds of 65 km / h and an air pressure of 1002 hPa as a weak tropical storm. At the same time, the JTWC upgraded the low pressure area to a tropical storm. During the January 19 Lingling stayed with the intensity of a weak tropical storm and was unable to significantly intensify. Later that day, the JTWC issued the final warning to the storm. On the night of January 20, the JMA downgraded the system down to a tropical depression. A few hours later, PAGASA issued the final warning. 24 hours later, the depression was downgraded to an area of low surface pressure.

Due to the effects of Lingling least 70 people were killed in the Philippines. Heavy rains triggered floods and landslides.

Tropical Storm Kajiki ( Basyang )

In the early morning of 29 January, the Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) began to observe a tropical depression that has formed a few kilometers east of the Yap Islands. About 24 hours later, pulled the low pressure area in the Philippine area of ​​responsibility and received from PAGASA the local name Basyang. After pulling west, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center ( JTWC ) classified the system the evening of January 30, also at a tropical depression up and gave this the name of 02W. On the night of the following day, the JMA upgraded the depression to a tropical storm, which won the international name Kajiki. The storm was late on January 31, also from the JTWC upgraded to a tropical storm before it goes a little later on the island of Siargao on land. After Kajiki had crossed the archipelago Visayas and now lay over the Sulu Sea, the JTWC upgraded the storm to a tropical depression down. Three hours later, the JMA downgraded the system to a tropical depression down before PAGASA another three hours later published the final warning. The JTWC issued its final warning on the evening of February 1st out.

Due to the effects of the storm at least six people were killed in the Philippines.

Typhoon Faxai

Early in the February 26, reported the Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) that near the Chuuk Atoll, a tropical depression has formed. In the course of the day and the following day the system is slowly moving west. In the early morning of February 28, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center ( JTWC ) began to observe the low-pressure area, giving this the name of 03W. Later that day both the JMA and the JTWC downgraded the depression to a tropical storm that got the international name Faxai. First, Faxai could not amplify particularly, so he stayed with the intensity of a weak tropical storm. It was only on March 3, began the storm that was stationary in the days just to move to the north and to intensify it so that the JMA Faxai updated on that day a heavy tropical storm. In the course of the following day Faxai began to northeast draw and formed a weak eye, so that the JTWC and the JMA up classified the storm to a typhoon. Even 12 hours later, the system weakened, however, again in a Severe Tropical Storm. Another six hours later sat Faxai continues its rapid softening and was downgraded by the JMA to a tropical storm. At the same time, the JTWC his last warning to the storm gave out. On the night of March 6, the JMA issued their final warning and declared Faxai as extratropical.

Tropical depression

On the morning of 11 March, the Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) began monitoring a tropical depression, which was located about 195 kilometers east of Mati City, Philippines. During the day the system was moving toward the southwest, reaching at noon of the same day the Celebes Sea. A day later, it dissolved at about 190 km north- west of Manado, Indonesia.

Tropical Depression 04W ( Caloy )

Early on 18 March, the Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) began to observe a tropical depression that has formed about 395 km east- northeast of Koror, Palau. Over the following two days they wandered without any intensification westward and crossed Palau. On the evening of March 20 PAGASA upgraded the system to a tropical depression and also to this was the local name Caloy. About 36 hours later, began the Joint Typhoon Warning Center ( JTWC ) with the observation of the low -pressure area, which was designated 04W. At the same time, PAGASA issued the final warning to the depression. Early on 22 March was the low pressure area over the Philippian province of Surigao del Norte on land. On the evening of the same day the JTWC his last warning to the system gave out. The depression moved westward and reached the following day the Sulu Sea. There it broke up early on March 24, about 265 km east- southeast of Puerto Princesa.

Tropical Storm Peipah ( Domeng )

On the evening of April 2 announced the Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) that has about 470 km north-northeast of Manus Iceland formed a tropical depression. Early the following day, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center ( JTWC ) began to monitor the system and gave this the name of 05W. In the course of the day the depression moved slowly westward. On April 4, they drifted towards the west - northwest and began with higher pull rate move around. The JTWC upgraded the low pressure area on the evening of the same day to a tropical storm. Three hours later, the JMA downgraded the system to a tropical storm and gave up this international name Peipah.

International name

Tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific are named by the responsible Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in Tokyo, the Japan Meteorological Agency. These have a name, once they reach the strength of a tropical storm. The names are taken from the following list; it is used continuously, so there is no changing annual lists of names as in the eastern North Pacific or the Atlantic. The names were suggested by the 14 member countries of the ESCAP / WMO Typhoon Committee.
