These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. 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 1946 Pacific hurricane season. At the time, tropical storms that formed within this region of the western Pacific were identified and named by the United States Armed Services, and these names are taken from the list that USAS publicly adopted before the 1945 season started.Landsea, Christopher W Dorst, Neal M June 1, 2014 Tropical Cyclone Frequently Asked Question Subject: Tropical Cyclone Names: B1) How are tropical cyclones named?

It strengthened briefly to a Category 3-equivalent typhoon with 115 mph winds. But shortly after, it began to weaken. Typhoon Barbara curved northward and then westward, in turn hitting the Philippines as a category 1. After making landfall, it curved back to the east and continued to weaken until April 7, when it dissipated.International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/international-best-track-archive 7 October 2026 National Centers for Environmental Information National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Typhoon Charlotte WPac typhoon Typhoon Charlotte's Weather map on April 14, 1946.png Charlotte 1946 track.png May 11 May 17 80 973 Charlotte formed in the open Pacific on May 11.

It moved northwestward, only to strengthen. After passing by the Philippines, it reached its maximum intensity of 125 mph, equivalent to a strong Category 3 hurricane. It rounded around Taiwan and made landfall on China's shoreline. It dissipated hours after on June 23. Tropical Storm Elinor WPac Elinor 1946 track.png June 23 June 25 50 986 Elinor formed near Northern Luzon on June 23. However, due to the interaction with nearby Dolly, it didn't strengthened further and it dissipated on June 25. Typhoon Ginny WPac typhoon Typhoon Ginny's Weather map on June 30, 1946.png Ginny 1946 track.png June 30 July 2 80 971 Ginny formed on June 30 in the open western Pacific.

Early-July Typhoon WPac typhoon Unnoticed typhoon on July 10, 1946.png Unnamed 1946.png July 8 July 12 65 980 A tropical storm was first noted in weather maps on July 8, near Palau. Moving to the northwest, it strengthened to a minimal typhoon before it hit Formosa as a weakening storm. It then crossed the Formosa Strait, before making another landfall near Xiamen on July 12. It was last noted on the same day. The damages and deaths, if any, were unknown. Typhoon Ingrid WPac typhoon Typhoon Ingrid's Weather map on July 15, 1946.png Ingrid 1946 track.png July 12 July 20 120 944 Tropical Storm Ingrid formed July 12, immediately moving west. After strengthening, it briefly became the equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane on July 15. It weakened to a Category 2-equivalent typhoon and struck the northern part of the Philippines. Ingrid retained its strength until it hit Hong Kong and Macau. Right after it made landfall immediately to the west of Macau, it moved north and dissipated on July 20. Typhoon Janie WPac typhoon Typhoon Janie's Weather map on July 26, 1946.png Janie 1946 track.png July 23 July 31 100 946 Janie formed on July 23. It moved northwest and then curved west. It was then that it became a Category 3-equivalent typhoon with 115 mph winds. After heading westward for a while, Janie began curving the opposite direction. But that was short-lived; it began moving northwest and struck southern Japan. Janie traveled over the island and dissipated near Russias coast on July 31. Typhoon Lilly WPac typhoon Typhoon Lilly's Weather map on August 14, 1946.png Lilly 1946 track.png August 10 August 21 125 927 On August 10, a disturbance managed to organize itself enough to be designated Tropical Storm Lilly. It moved in a generally northwest direction while intensifying at a moderate pace-becoming Typhoon Lilly shortly after its formation. Before Lilly moved over cold waters, it attained a peak intensity of 145 mph. It narrowly missed Japan's shoreline as a Category 2-equivalent typhoon before striking Korea as a moderate tropical storm. Lilly dissipated on August 21, after eleven days of traveling in the western Pacific Ocean.
