The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the international date line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1989 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.

Supertyphoon Gordon

A single Cumulonimbus cloud beneath the Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough developed into a weak tropical depression on July 9. It tracked westward with a cold core upper level low aloft, a very unusual circumstance. Initially forcasted to remain weak due to the lack of upper level outflow, it was able to strengthen into a tropical storm on the 12th. The cold low quickly warmed, and Gordon became a typhoon on the 13th. It rapidly intensified on the 14th and 15th to a 160 mph supertyphoon, and hit northern Luzon later that day at that intensity. It steadily weakened as hit moved westward, and made landfall on southern China, 100 miles southwest of Hong Kong, as a 70 mph tropical storm on the 18th. Gordon caused 27 casualties (with 15 people missing) and left 120,000 homeless. Cumulonimbus cloud in central Oklahoma. ...

Tropical Storm Ken-Lola

The monsoon trough spawned a tropical depression on July 29. Poorly organized, it moved quickly northeastward and became a tropical storm on the 30th. Operationally, Tropical Storm Ken continued northeastward with the rest of the convection, with Tropical Storm Lola forming further westward, but the ill-defined circulation actually continued westward, leading to one storm with two names. Ken-Lola turned to the southwest, stalling before heading northwest again. Ken-Lola reached a peak of 60 mph winds before hitting eastern China on the 3rd, causing little damage as it slowly dissipated until the 7th. Ken-Lola shows the troubles of tracking poorly organized systems. A more recent example is Tropical Depression 32W/33W in 1995.
