The 2019 Pacific typhoon season is an ongoing weather event that encompasses the tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific (west of 180 degrees and north of the equator ) that have formed throughout the calendar year . Cyclones in this area are called typhoons , east of 180 ° longitude they are called hurricanes and are the subject of the Pacific hurricane seasons . Tropical cyclones in the South Pacific are called cyclones and are grouped together in the South Pacific Cyclone Seasons and the Australian Cyclone Seasons . Most typhoons form between May and November, hence the annual summary of seasons. However, they also occur regularly at all other times of the year, but less frequently.

Within the northwestern Pacific, there are two meteorological organizations that give names to storms. As a result, the same storm is often given two different names. The official designation by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) is given to a tropical storm as soon as it reaches wind speeds of 35 knots (around 65 km / h) for 10 minutes at any point in the northwestern Pacific  . The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), on the other hand, assigns names to tropical low pressure areas that develop within the national area of ​​responsibility or move there; this area of ​​responsibility is roughly defined between 115 ° and 135 ° east longitude and between 5 ° and 25 ° north latitude. PAGASA assigns a local name even if the system has already been named by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Tropical depressions that from the US Joint Typhoon Warning Center are observed, get a number with the suffix W .
