This timeline documents all of the events of the 2024 Pacific typhoon season. This season was a slightly above-average tropical cyclone season in terms of named storms, typhoons, and super typhoons but was below-average in terms of accumulated cyclone energy (ACE). Additionally, it was the fifth-latest Pacific typhoon season on record, with its first storm forming on May 23, the deadliest since 2013 with at least 1,336 fatalities, and the fourth-costliest on record following behind 2018, 2023, and 2019. The season also featured an unusually active November since 2019, with 4 tropical cyclones simultaneously active and the most retired names in a single season—nine. Additionally, the Philippines also saw multiple consecutive typhoons making direct landfalls since 2006, with some at higher intensities. The season's first named storm, Ewiniar, developed on May 25 and eventually intensified into the first typhoon of the season, while the last named storm, Pabuk, dissipated on December 25.
This timeline documents all of the events of the 2024 Pacific typhoon season. The season ran throughout the year, though most tropical cyclones formed 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. Tropical storms that form in the entire Western Pacific basin are assigned a name by the Japan Meteorological Agency . Tropical depressions that form in this basin are given a number with a "W" suffix by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center . In addition, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assigns names to tropical cyclones (including tropical depressions) that enter or form in the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). These names, however, are not in common use outside of the Philippines.
During the season, 37 systems were designated as tropical depressions by either the JMA, PAGASA, JTWC, or other National Meteorological and Hydrological Services such as the China Meteorological Administration and the Hong Kong Observatory . 26 of these tropical depressions became named storms and 12 of these named storms intensified to typhoons. Furthermore, 7 of those strengthened further to super-typhoons.
