It had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1990, but most tropical cyclones formed in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.Gary Padgett. May 2003 Tropical Cyclone Summary. https://web.archive.org/web/20101130222503/http://typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt 2010-11-30 Retrieved 2006-08-26. 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 1990 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. Season summary Systems 41 tropical cyclones formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which 31 became tropical storms. 19 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 4 reached super typhoon strength.

The depression intensified over the period of a day to become a tropical storm on January 13, when it received the name Koryn from the JTWC. According to them, but not the JMA, Koryn reached typhoon strength on January 15, when it peaked in intensity. The storm then weakened quite rapidly until it became extratropical on January 17, at 0000 UTC.https://books.google.com/books?id=1tMtfaYcGz4C&dq=Severe+Tropical+storm+koryn&pg=RA2-PA65 Mariners Weather Log 1990 U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Data and Information Service. en Tropical Storm Lewis WPac Lewis 1990-04-30 0000Z.png Lewis 1990 path.png April 26 May 3 35 35 998 A tropical disturbance formed 200 miles south of Chuuk on April 26.

The unorganized disturbance passed over the southern islands of the Philippines and was upgraded to a tropical storm, being named Marian on the 15th. The storm steadily intensified and reached peak intensity on the 17th. Marian began to recurve as it got caught up in an approaching cold front. Marian brushed Hong Kong and southern China, causing light rains and windy conditions. Marian made landfall on Taiwan on the 19th as a tropical storm. Despite being weak at landfall, Marian had a significant impact on Taiwan's agricultural industry, with losses at NT$270 million (US$10 million).

On August 2, the remnant low of Tasha, as a patch of thunderstorms over northeastern China, was pushed to the east by a weather front from the west. By August 4, Tasha entered the Yellow Sea, before being pushed south by an anticyclone off northeastern Korea, into the East China Sea. Although the same system, Tasha was named Winona, as it started to strengthen into a tropical storm by August 7. It reached peak intensity with an eye-like feature on August 8, before landfalling over Japan the next day. Later, the remnants became extratropical.

Typhoon Zola Typhoon Zola WPac Zola Aug 21 1990 0600Z.png Zola 1990 path.png August 15 August 25 75 100 960 On August 15, a large area of convection associated with the inflow of developing Typhoon Yancy was cut off, as Yancy was moving too fast to the west for the convection in the east to be absorbed into Yancy. By August 16, the convection developed a mid to low level circulation, and developed into tropical storm by August 18. Zola intensified into a typhoon by the next day, before reaching peak intensity on August 21. By the next day, Zola made landfall over Japan, before dissipating north of Japan. High winds and heavy rains produced by the storm killed six people and injured 22 others in Japan. Typhoon Abe (Iliang) WPac Abe aug 30 1990 0545Z.jpg Abe 1990 path.png August 23 September 2 75 90 955 Typhoon Abe (1990) Forming on August 23 from a tropical disturbance, the depression which would eventually develop into Typhoon Abe initially tracked in a steady west-northwestward direction. As a result of an intense monsoon surge, the system's trajectory briefly changed to an eastward then northward path before returning to its original track. Abe only intensified by a small amount between 0000 UTC August 24 and 0600 UTC August 27 due to the disruptive effects of the surge, and on August 30, Abe peaked in intensity as a Category 2-equivalent typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. After peaking in intensity, Abe crossed the Ryukyu Islands and the East China Sea, making landfall in China where it affected the provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu before entering the Yellow Sea, crossing South Korea, and finally transitioning into an extratropical cyclone.1990 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1990atcr.pdf Joint Typhoon Warning Center 1991 August 19, 2014 Pearl Harbor, Hawaii October 19, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161019075456/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1990atcr.pdf deadTropical Cyclones in 1990 http://www.hko.gov.hk/publica/tc/tc1990.pdf Royal Observatory Hong Kong February 1992 June 2, 2015 October 23, 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20191023013334/https://www.hko.gov.hk/publica/tc/tc1990.pdf dead Typhoon Abe killed 108–195 people after it caused flooding and landslides in the Philippines and Taiwan, ravaged coastal areas of China, and brought high waves to Japan.Digital Typhoon: Weather Disaster Report (1990-936-12) http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/dt/report.pl?id=1990-936-12&lang=en Digital Typhoon National Institute of Informatics June 6, 2015 jaCommodity Briefs 9A The Journal of Commerce LexisNexis September 7, 1990 The typhoon hit the major wheat, sugar and cotton growing provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui, as well as the city of Shanghai, on Aug. 31-Sept. 3, killing 108 people and causing 3.5 billion yuan (4.7 yuan=US$ 1) worth of damage, the China Daily said.

These names were contributed to a revised list which started on mid-1989.

PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 10 of which are published each year before the season starts. Names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1994 season. This is the same list used for the 1986 season. PAGASA uses its own naming scheme that starts in the Filipino alphabet, with names of Filipino female names ending with "ng" (A, B, K, D, etc.). Names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in . Retirement Due to the severity of damage and loss of life caused by Mike, the name was retired and was replaced with Manny and was first used in the 1993 season. PAGASA also retired the name Ruping for similar reasons and was replaced with Ritang for the 1994 season. Season effects This table summarizes all the systems that developed within or moved into the North Pacific Ocean, to the west of the International Date Line during 1990. The tables also provide an overview of a systems intensity, duration, land areas affected and any deaths or damages associated with the system. |- | Koryn || 900112 January 12 – 16 || bgcolor=#STS|2
