It ran year-round in 1980, but most tropical cyclones formed between May and November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. A total of 28 tropical depressions formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which 24 became tropical storms and were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Beginning in March, tropical cyclones formed in each subsequent month through December. Of the 24 named storms, 15 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 2 reached super typhoon strength. Additionally, 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. This year, 23 storms were named this way. Seasonal summary 1980 season ForecastCenter Tropicalcyclones Tropicalstorms Typhoons Ref.

Steadily tracking west, later that day, Carmen intensified into a tropical storm. A few hours later, as the system crossed east of the Date Line on 5 April, the JTWC issued their first warning on the system.https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1980atcr.pdf 1980 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report 1981 Joint Typhoon Warning Center Guam, Mariana Islands 26 July 15, 2024 Later that day, the JMA designated the system as a tropical storm, with the JTWC following suit a few hours later, naming it Carmen. Steadily intensifying, the next day, both the JTWC and JMA stated that Carmen peaked with sustained winds of 60 knot km/h mph 5. Soon after, Carmen steadily weakened, and after tracking east of the Date Line on 7 April, both the JTWC and JMA stopped tracking the system. Typhoon Dom (Ditang) 90 85 WPac May 7 May 22 960 Dom 1980-05-13 0832Z.png Dom 1980 track.png On 5 May, a weak tropical disturbance began developing in the near-equatorial trough.

As the circulation steadily organized, the JTWC upgraded the system into a tropical depression. Two days later, the depression crossed into the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), causing the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) to name it Ditang. Despite intense vertical shear, the depression intensified into a tropical storm a few hours later, being named Dom by the JTWC. After the wind shear relaxed, on May 11, the JTWC stated that Dom had intensified into a typhoon, with the JMA following suit the next day. Soon after, Dom began weakening due to the mountainous terrain of Luzon, becoming a tropical storm on May 14. However, as Dom traced eastward, the next day, it re-intensified into a typhoon. After this secondary peak, a combination of colder SSTs and unfavorable atmospheric conditions caused the system to steadily weaken, and after doing an anticyclonic loop, on May 18, Dom weakened into a tropical storm. The next day, the JTWC issued their last advisory on Dom, declaring that it had degenerated into a post-tropical cyclone. PAGASA kept tracking the system until May 21, when the remnants of Dom and a weakening Ellen began accelerating towards an extratropical cyclone south of Japan. The remnants of Dom and Ellen later merged with the cyclone the same day, causing the JMA to finally stop monitoring Dom a few hours later. As Ditang tracked towards the Philippines, PAGASA issued Public Storm Warning Signal (PSWS) #3 for Catanduanes, Camarines Norte and Sur, Aurora, Quirino, Cagayan, Mountain Province, Nueva Vizcaya, Ifugao, Batanes, and Abra. Heavy rains and gusts were seen in Eastern Luzon.10750966_03.pdf 1987 https://openjicareport.jica.go.jp/pdf/10750966_03.pdf 2024-08-16 Japan International Cooperation Agency Tokyo, Japan As a result of the typhoon, Baguio received 730.3 mm in of rain on May 15.Examination of Intense Climate-Related Disasters in Asia-Pacific 2012–16 https://pidswebs.pids.gov.ph/CDN/PUBLICATIONS/pidsdps1216.pdf Thomas Vinod 2024-08-16 Ramon G.

Despite initially showing signs of weakening, the next day, it rapidly developed, becoming a tropical storm a few hours later, causing both the JTWC and JMA to issue their first advisories early on 13 May, with the former naming it Ellen.https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1980atcr.pdf 1980 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report 1981 Joint Typhoon Warning Center Guam, Mariana Islands 32–34 July 15, 2024 Slightly weakening for a few hours, on May 15, Ellen rapidly intensified, becoming a typhoon a few hours later. Soon after, Ellen deepened significantly, reaching a minimum pressure of 930 mbar inHg later that day. The next day, the JMA noted that Ellen had peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of 105 knot mph km/h 5 while the JTWC stated that Ellen peaked with 1-minute sustained winds of 110 knot mph km/h 5. Shortly after, Ellen began recurving northwest towards Japan, weakening as it neared the extratropical cyclone which absorbed Dom. On 21 May, Ellen merged with the cyclone, causing the JTWC to stop tracking it. The JMA kept tracking it until 25 May. As Ellen made its closest approach to Japan, Yokosuka saw gusts of 30-35 knot mph km/h. Heavy rainfall from Ellen affected western and central Japan, causing around 60 landslides and flooding almost 300 homes.

The next day, both the JMA and JTWC designated the depression as a tropical storm, with the latter agency naming it Forrest. On 22 May, Forrest crossed into the PAR, being named Gloring by PAGASA. Steadily developing, the next day, both the JMA and JTWC noted that Forest had peaked with sustained winds of 55 knot mph km/h 5. After making landfall in Luzon on 25 May, Forrest rapidly weakened, and on 26 May, both PAGASA and the JTWC stopped tracking Forrest. The JMA kept tracking a weakening Forrest until it dissipated on 29 May. In the Philippines, damage from the storm totaled to ₱900,000 (US$120,000).

Barely developing, on 21 May, the system began featuring some convective activity, causing the JTWC and PAGASA to designate the system as a depression, with the latter agency naming it Edeng. The next day, Edeng left the PAR, causing PAGASA to stop tracking the system. Soon after, both the JMA and JTWC designated the system as a tropical storm, with the latter naming it Georgia. After making landfall in Shantou on 23 May with sustained winds of 55 knot mph km/h 5, Georgia rapidly weakened, causing the JTWC to stop monitoring it the next day. The JMA followed suit the next day. As Georgia made its closest approach to Hong Kong, some stations recorded intense gusts, with Stanley recording a gust of 73 knot mph km/h. Additionally, light rainfall was seen. With the exception of some scaffolding blown off in Tai Kok Sui Road, no damage occurred.http://www.hko.gov.hk:80/publica/tc/tc1980.pdf Meteorological Results 1980 1981 Hong Kong Observatory Hong Kong 12–13 https://web.archive.org/web/20090816030012/http://www.hko.gov.hk:80/publica/tc/tc1980.pdf July 15, 2024 2009-08-16 Severe Tropical Storm Herbert (Huaning) 50 50 WPac June 22 June 29 990 Herbert_Jun_24_1980_2337Z.png Herbert 1980 track.png In mid-June, an equatorial trough was active, stretching from the Philippines to the eastern Caroline Islands near the equator. On 20 June, satellite imagery indicated increased convective activity around the eastern periphery of the trough as a result of convergent easterly flow. As a result, a TCFA was issued on the area of convective activity.https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1980atcr.pdf 1980 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report 1981 Joint Typhoon Warning Center Guam, Mariana Islands 41–43 July 23, 2024 The next day, the disturbance was designated a depression by PAGASA, who named it Huaning. Making landfall in Leyte, Philippines the next day, the JMA designated the system as a tropical depression. However, landfall prevented further development, causing the TCFA to be cancelled later that day. However, after tracking westwards for several days, on 24 June, the JTWC reissued a TCFA. Several hours later, both the JTWC and JMA designated Huaning as a tropical storm, with the former agency naming it Herbert. In the South China Sea, Herbert tracked northwestward toward Hainan Island while intensifying slowly. After exiting the PAR on 25 June, PAGASA stopped tracking the system. Later that day, both agencies stated that Herbert peaked with sustained winds of 50 knot mph km/h 5. Slightly weakening, at 1800Z the next day, Herbert made its landfall in Hainan with maximum sustained winds of 45 knot mph km/h 5. After tracking into the Gulf of Tonkin, on 28 June, Herbert made its second landfall in Móng Cái, Quảng Ninh Province with sustained winds of 45 knot mph km/h 5."Vài nhận xét về hoạt động của bão và áp thấp nhiệt đới ở khu vực Tây Thái Bình Dương năm 1980" Vietnamese Journal of Hydro-Meteorology. Rapidly weakening, both the JTWC and JMA stopped tracking Herbert the next day. As Herbert made its closest approach to Hong Kong, some stations recorded moderate gales, with Tate's Cairn recording a gust of 48 knot mph km/h. Additionally, heavy rainfall was seen, flooding some roads and causing landslides.

Aerial reconnaissance caused the JTWC to issue a TCFA, and a few hours later, they designated the system as a tropical depression. The next day, the system intensified into a tropical storm, causing PAGASA to name the system Lusing as it was in the PAR, while the JTWC named it Ida. Steadily intensifying, on 9 July, the JMA stated that Ida peaked as a minimal typhoon while the JTWC stated that it peaked as a high-end tropical storm. Slightly weakening as it tracked into the Bashi Channel, on 11 July, Ida made landfall in Southeastern China, causing PAGASA to stop tracking it. The JMA stopped tracking the system four days later. As Ida was developing, the naval air station in Guam received over 1.15 inch mm of rainfall in three hours.

Tracking westward, convective activity gradually increased in both convection and coverage.Annual Tropical Cyclone Report: 1980 United States Navy, United States Air Force http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1980atcr.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20120915170508/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1980atcr.pdf dead September 15, 2012 Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Center Joint Typhoon Warning Center May 30, 2017 1981 At 18:00 UTC on July 22, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) started tracking the system. By 00:00 UTC on July 17, the surface center and the deep convection moved closer together, prompting the JTWC to classify the system as a tropical depression. Meanwhile, PAGASA tracked the storm and named it Nitang. The depression began to develop at a quicker pace, and early on July 18, the JTWC upgraded it to a tropical storm. After Joe developed a central dense overcast, the JMA upgraded Joe into a severe tropical storm. At midday, the JTWC and JMA upgraded Joe into a typhoon. This intensity estimate was confirmed by a Hurricane hunter plane later on July 19, which measured a pressure of 974 mbar inHg on. An eye began to clear out on July 20. That same day, a Hurricane hunter aircraft recorded a pressure of 940 mbar inHg on. At midday, the JTWC estimated that Joe peaked in intensity, with winds of 120 mph km/h on 5 flip, equal to a Category 3 hurricane on the United States-based Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (SSHWS). Meanwhile, the JMA estimated maximum intensity of 100 mph km/h on 5 flip. Six hours after its peak, Joe made landfall in central Luzon. At the time of landfall, the JMA indicated winds of 90 mph km/h on 5. Over land, Joe weakened rapidly, falling to tropical storm strength according to the JTWC. After entering the South China Sea on July 21, Joe began to re-intensify; data from the JTWC suggested that Joe regained typhoon intensity almost immediately thereafter. Around this time, the JMA estimated that Joe reached its secondary peak of 85 mph km/h on 5 flip. On July 22, the JTWC estimated that Joe attained a secondary peak of 105 mph km/h on 5 flip. Despite maintaining its structure as it tracked over the Leizhou Peninsula, the storm weakened as it entered the Gulf of Tonkin and approached the coast of Vietnam. Both the JTWC and JMA agree that Joe had winds of 80 mph km/h 5 on flip when it moved ashore near Haiphong in Vietnam later on July 22. A combination of land interaction and vertical wind shear resulted in rapid weakening. At 00:00 UTC on July 23, the JTWC issued its last warning on Joe. The remnants of Joe later moved into Laos. The JMA stopped watching Joe on July 24. Across the Philippines, 31 citizens were killed, In Vietnam, 130 people were killed, 300,000 others were directly affected, and 165,000 others lost their homes.United States Agency for International Development August 1993 May 30, 2017 Disaster History: Significant Data on Major Disasters Worldwide, 1900–Present http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNABP986.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20110718110440/http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNABP986.pdf dead July 18, 2011 147, 168 Two large ships, a 20,000 ST MT on 5 liner and a 50,000 ST MT on 5 tanker, were washed ashore in Chankiang.Report 188 Chinese Die In Typhoon Associated Press July 27, 1980 Lexis Nexis Throughout the area, 188 people were killed and at least 100 others were left homeless.

Later that day, the JTWC issued a TCFA on the system as the disturbance was over warm water and low wind shear.Annual Tropical Cyclone Report: 1980 United States Navy, United States Air Force http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1980atcr.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20120915170508/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1980atcr.pdf dead September 15, 2012 Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Center Joint Typhoon Warning Center May 30, 2017 1981 Four hours later, the JMA classified the system as a tropical depression, with the JTWC following suit early the next day. Early the next day, both the JTWC and JMA upgraded the depression into a tropical storm, with the former agency naming it Kim. Further intensification was slow to occur as Kim tracked in the area where Typhoon Joe had previously trekked. However, on July 23, a hurricane hunter aircraft indicated falling pressures and the beginning of an eyewall. Based on this, both the JTWC and JMA announced that Kim obtained typhoon intensity. Around this time, Kim tracked into the PAR, causing PAGASA to name it Osang. Continuing to track west-northwest beneath a large subtropical ridge, Kim began to clear out an eye on the evening of July 23; subsequently, Kim entered a period of rapid deepening. At July 24, the JTWC increased the intensity of Kim to 115 mph km/h on 5 flip, while the JMA raised the winds to 105 mph km/h on 5 flip. Ten hours later, a Hurricane hunter aircraft measured a pressure of 908 mbar inHg on 4, causing the JTWC to declare Kim a super typhoon and increasing the wind speed to 150 mph km/h on 5 flip. At 18:00 on July 24, the JMA estimated that Kim reached its peak intensity to 105 mph km/h on flip 5. Almost immediately thereafter, reports from the same Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicated that the pressure of the typhoon rose sharply, likely in response to decreased inflow caused by Kim's close proximity to land. The JTWC estimated that Kim made landfall along the coast of Luzon with sustained winds of 115 mph km/h on flip 5, while the JMA reported that Kim moved ashore with winds of 90 mph km/h on flip 5. Continuing to weaken due to land interaction, Kim weakened into a tropical storm as it emerged into the South China Sea, On July 27, a weakening Kim crossed the coastline of China around 165 km mi on 5 northeast of Hong Kong. At the time of its second landfall, both the JTWC and JMA estimated winds of 50 mph km/h on 5 flip. Twelve hours later, both the JTWC and JMA ceased tracking Kim. Typhoon Kim caused widespread flooding across Luzon. In Manila, where floodwaters rose to more than 24 in mm on flip in some suburbs, government offices and schools were closed. There, both Philippine Airlines and Philippine National Railways canceled all trips to the rest of the country.July 25, 1980 Typhoon Kim Batters Islands With 115-Mile-An-Hour Winds Associated Press Lexis Nexis The coast guard suspended sailing permits to ships throughout the country.July 25, 1980 Second Typhoon In Week Hits Philippines Associated Press Lexis Nexis The Isabela province was the hardest hit by Typhoon Kim.July 26, 1980 Storm Heads For Southern China Associated Press Lexis Nexis Across the Philippines, 40 people were killed,http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNABP986.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20110718110440/http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNABP986.pdf dead July 18, 2011 Disaster History: Significant Data on Major Disasters Worldwide, 1900–Present August 1993 United States Agency for International Development 168 May 31, 2017 2 via drownings, and 19,000 others were affected.

A few hours later, the JTWC issued a TCFA on the system as it steadily developed. As the depression's satellite signature improved, the JTWC issued their first warning on it early the next day. Twelve hours later, both the JTWC and JMA upgraded the system into a tropical storm, with the former agency naming it Lex. Tracking northwestward and steadily intensifying, on July 31, both agencies upgraded Lex into a typhoon. Soon after, Lex executed a cyclonic loop, later peaking with 1-minute sustained winds of 80 knot mph km/h on 5 flip and 10-minute sustained winds of 75 knot mph km/h on 5 flip according to the JMA. However, soon after, cold air from a deep surface low caused Lex to steadily weaken. As a result, on 7 August, Lex transitioned into an extratropical low according to the JTWC. The JMA kept monitoring Lex until 13 August.

Soon after, due to a col and a weakness inside a ridge, Marge began tracking northward. Steadily developing, on August 10, both the JTWC and JMA noted that Marge had intensified into a typhoon. The next day, Marge peaked with 1-minute sustained winds of 110 knot mph km/h on 5 flip and 10-minute sustained winds of 90 knot mph km/h on 5 flip according to the JMA. Slightly weakening, on 13 August, Marge encountered strong upper-level westerlies, causing it to rapidly weaken. As a result, the next day, Marge transitioned into an extratropical cyclone, causing the JTWC to stop tracking it. The JMA kept tracking it until the next day, when it merged with a mid-latitude cyclone.

On 25 August, both the JMA and JTWC designated the system as a tropical storm, with the latter agency naming it Norris. After the surface circulation which had prevented Norris from strengthening dissipated early the next day, Norris intensified significantly, being recognized as a typhoon by both agencies the next day. A few hours later, Norris peaked with sustained winds of 90 kn mph km/h 5 according to the JTWC and 95 kn mph km/h 5 prior to making a landfall in Northern Taiwan. The mountainous ranges of Taiwan caused Norris to rapidly weaken, and by the time it made its second landfall south of Fuzhou on 28 August, both the JTWC and JMA had reported that it had weakened into a tropical storm. As a result, both PAGASA and the JTWC ceased tracking the system. The JMA kept monitoring it until 31 August. As Norris passed just 10 NM mile km southwest of Yonaguni on 27 August, winds of 90 kn mph km/h to the island. In Taiwan, gusts of 64 kn mph km/h were recorded. Flooding caused by the typhoon swept away 60 houses in Northern Taiwan, causing two deaths. Additionally, Norris caused four fishing vessels off the eastern coast of the island to capsize. Despite that, Norris primarily brought heavy rainfall, which eased Taiwan's worst drought since 1950.November 1980 International Journal of Meteorology https://www.ijmet.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/51.pdf November 1980 53 5 13 The Artetech Publishing Co.

Tracking west-northwest, as it crossed into the subtropical latitudes on 9 September, both the JMA and JTWc noted that Orchid had intensified into a typhoon. Meanwhile, PAGASA temporarily tracked the system as it was in the PAR, naming it Toyang before the system left their area of responsibility the next day. As Orchid executed three cyclonic loops from 9–10 September, the JMA noted that Orchid had peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of 70 kn mph km/h 5 while the JTWC noted that Orchid had peaked with 1-minute sustained winds of 85 kn mph km/h 5. The next day, Orchid made landfall in Japan, slightly weakening due to colder waters. As a result, the JTWC stopped tracking the system. The JMA kept tracking the system until it dissipated on 16 September. As the depression initially coalesced, the JTWC issued a gale warning for Guam. The ninth tropical cyclone to strike Japan during the season, Orchid killed six people in Kyushu and triggered devastating landslides on the country's main island of Honshu, causing crops to sustain heavy damage.1991-10-20 EARTHWEEK: A DIARY OF THE PLANET 21 Canberra Times http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article134161292 2021-03-20 More than 15,000 people were affected due to the devastating landslides and wind gusts.1980-09-12 IN BRIEF 5 Canberra Times http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article125621520 2021-03-20 The MV Derbyshire, a ship which was headed for Kawasaki with iron ore from Sept-Îles, Canada on July 11, was sunk by Orchid.2017-04-04 Derbyshire https://shipwrecklog.com/log/history/derbyshire/ 2021-03-20 Shipwreck Log en-US All 44 people on board died.2001-08-13 Derbyshire Sinking http://www.north-country.co.uk/Derbyshire.htm live https://web.archive.org/web/20010813033209/http://www.north-country.co.uk/Derbyshire.htm August 13, 2001 2021-03-20 In South Korea, Orchid caused at least three deaths, leaving over a hundred fishermen missing.

Soon after, sypnotic data revealed that the system's circulation was developing, causing the JTWC to follow suit in upgrading it into a depression early the next day. Later that day, the JTWC noted that the tropical depression had intensified into a tropical storm, naming it Ruth. The JMA later followed suit early the next day. Tracking northwestward, a few hours later, Ruth made landfall in Hainan Island with 1-minute sustained winds of 45 kn mph km/h 5. Weakening, as it entered the Gulf of Tonkin early on 15 September, it became a minimal tropical storm. The warm waters of the Gulf of Tonkin, which were 29 C F as the weak cyclone tracked into there, enabled Ruth to significantly intensify. As a result, according to the JTWC, Ruth underwent rapid intensification, peaking as a minimal typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of 65 kn mph km/h 5. The JMA, however, stated that Ruth peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of 55 kn mph km/h 5 at that time. Just a few hours later, early on 16 September, Ruth made landfall south of Thanh Hóa, Vietnam.

The next day, both the JMA and JTWC recognized the system as a tropical storm, causing the JTWC to name it Percy. Additionally, Percy crossed into the PAR, causing PAGASA to name it Undang. Soon after, Perry executed two cyclonic loops, being upgraded into a typhoon by both the JTWC and JMA on 16 September. The next day, an aircraft fix revealed that according to the JTWC, Percy had peaked with 1-minute sustained winds of 125 kn mph km/h 5. A few hours later, the JMA noted that Percy had peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of 100 kn mph km/h 5. Steadily weakening soon after, around 01:00 UTC the next day, Percy made landfall on the southern tip of Taiwan. Despite crossing the Formosa Strait just a few hours later, the mountainous climate of Taiwan had caused Percy's inflow to be disrupted, preventing any strengthening and causing Percy to weaken as fast as it had strengthened. Early the next day, Percy left the PAR, causing PAGASA to cease tracking it. A few hours later, Percy made landfall east of Guangzhou as a minimal tropical storm. Rapidly weakening once inland, on 19 September, both the JTWC and JMA had ceased tracking it, with the former agency noting that Percy had dissipated at that time. As Percy scraped Taiwan, heavy rainfall damaged around 140 homes, destroyed crops, and flooded rice fields. Due to the typhoon, 7 people died with 16 being injured. Typhoon Sperry 65 65 WPac September 14 September 24 975 Sperry Sept 18 1980 2154Z.png Sperry 1980 track.png On 12 September, a weak area of clouds and thunderstorms began developing in the monsoon trough. Despite not having a surface circulation, the upper-air pattern was conducive for the disturbance's development, and on 14 September, it had developed a surface circulation.https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1980atcr.pdf 1980 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report 1981 Joint Typhoon Warning Center Guam, Mariana Islands 81–84 July 15, 2024 As a result of that, the JMA designated the system as a tropical depression later that day around the time that the JTWC issued a TCFA on the nascent system. Early the next day, Sperry intensified into a tropical storm. Despite that, initially, the JTWC claimed that it had developed into a tropical depression. Tracking northeastward due to mid-level southeasterly flow near Japan, Sperry began recurving south of Japan on 17 September. As it recurved, early the next day, the JTWC noted that Sperry had intensified and peaked as a typhoon. The JMA, however, stated that Sperry was actually a severe tropical storm at the time, noting that Sperry had really peaked as a minimal typhoon early on 19 September. Despite its eastward track preventing it from initially encountering colder waters and intense wind shear, Sperry began weakening around the time that it peaked. As a result, by the next day, both agencies stated that Sperry had weakened into a tropical storm. Later that day, the JTWC stopped tracking Sperry as according to them, it had become an extratropical cyclone. The JMA kept tracking a weakening Sperry until it dissipated near the International Date Line on 24 September. Severe Tropical Storm Thelma 55 55 WPac September 25 October 2 960 Thelma 1980-09-29 0532Z.jpg Thelma 1980 track.png On 23 September, satellite imagery shown that an area of increased convective activity was developing in the area from Southeast Asia to the Marshall Islands. Later that day, a significant area of convection formed near Saipan, with a surface circulation just south of Guam developing from it the next day.https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1980atcr.pdf 1980 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report 1981 Joint Typhoon Warning Center Guam, Mariana Islands 85–88 July 15, 2024 On 25 September, the JMA designated this circulation as a tropical depression, with the JTWC following suit early the next day. Initially slow to develop, on 27 September, both the JMA and JTWC designated it as a tropical storm, with the latter agency naming it Thelma. Tracking northwestward, by 29 September, a surface trough caused Thelma to track northeastward instead. It was at that time when both the JMA and JTWC noted that Thelma had peaked with sustained winds of 55 kn mph km/h 5 out. However, due to a restriction in Thelma's upper-level outflow alongside the storm tracking into the baroclinic zone, Thelma soon began transitioning into an extratropical low. As a result, the JTWC stopped tracking Thelma the next day as it became extratropical. The JMA kept tracking Thelma, noting that it had deepened to attain a minimal central pressure of 960 mbar inHg on 2 October. However, they stopped tracking it later that day after it passed 50° N.

As Vernon tracked northwestward, it interacted with Thelma to the north. Thelma covered a large area which restricted the upper-level outflow to Vernon. Once Thelma moved off to the northeast on October 1, an outflow channel to Vernon's north and northwest allowed it to intensity into a Category 3-equivalent typhoon. Vernon rapidly transitioned to an extratropical cyclone and lost its heavy convection on the 3rd.https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1980atcr.pdf 1980 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report 1981 Joint Typhoon Warning Center Guam, Mariana Islands 84-87 March 23, 2026 Typhoon Wynne (Welpring) WPac Wynne 1980-10-09 0532Z.png Wynne 1980 track.png October 3 October 14 150 120 890 Wynne was the strongest storm of the season, reaching a peak of 175 mph km/h on winds and a pressure of 890 mbar.

Initial development was slow and erratic for a few days before the system established a well-developed outflow pattern. The JTWC named the system Dinah on the 21st, which began to rapidly intensify and reach typhoon strength 12 hours later. As Dinah began to approach the Mariana Islands, U.S. military aircraft began to evacuate from the islands. Since Dinah was a compact storm, damage was centralized over Saipan and Tinian. On the 22nd, the island of Saipan received wind gusts up to 130 kt (150 mph; 240 km/h). Damage was extensive, with about $7 million dollars were dealt to Saipan. After crossing the Northern Mariana Islands, Dinah continued to move through the weakness in the ridge and recurve to the northeast.

The disturbance moved westward at between 12 and 15 kt (22 to 28 km/h) as its convective activity and overall organization continued to improve. A Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) was issued when a reconnaissance aircraft observed a well-defined low-level circulation with a minimum sea-level pressure of 1004 mb. The disturbance was upgraded to Tropical Storm Ed on December 15. It then became evident from synoptic analyses that Ed was moving into an area which was unfavorable for continued development. Eventually, after most of the storm's convection had been sheared off, Ed's surface center began to track to the southwest under the influence of the strong surface ridge to the north. Dissipation as a tropical cyclone was completed on the 24th as the remnants of Ed moved into northern Mindanao.
