The 1944 Pacific typhoon season was the last Pacific typhoon season to not be included in the Pacific typhoon database. It has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1944, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. 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 1944 Pacific hurricane season.
There were 23 tropical cyclones in 1944 in the western Pacific, including Typhoon Cobra.http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_v04r00/index.php?name=YearBasin-1944 IBTrACS - International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship www.atms.unca.edu 2020-09-03 2021-05-02 https://web.archive.org/web/20210502095519/http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_v04r00/index.php?name=YearBasin-1944 dead
