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 1942 Pacific hurricane season. There were 30 tropical cyclones in the western Pacific in 1942.http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_v04r00/index.php?name=YearBasin-1942 IBTrACS - International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship www.atms.unca.edu Nine tropical storms are reported in August, which made it the most active August known at the time.Stark L.
