The season had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 2008, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.Gary Padgett Typhoon 2000 August 17, 2003 July 13, 2010 Monthly Tropical Weather Summary for May 2003 http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt dead https://web.archive.org/web/20101130222503/http://typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt November 30, 2010 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 2008 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical storms formed in the entire Western North Pacific basin are assigned a name by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Tropical depressions formed in this basin are given a number with a "W" suffix by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center. In addition, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones (including tropical depressions) that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility. These names, however, are not in common use outside of the Philippines. Seasonal forecasts TSR forecastsDate Tropicalstorms TotalTyphoons IntenseTCs ACE Ref.

Reference Actual activity: JMA 38 22 11 Actual activity: JTWC 27 27 12 Actual activity: PAGASA 21 16 11 Each season several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast either the expected amount tropical cyclones, tropical storms, and typhoons forming in a season and/or how many tropical cyclones will affect a country or territory. City University of Hong Kong Since the 2000 typhoon season, the Laboratory for Atmospheric Research or the Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre (GCACIC), both of the City University of Hong Kong have issued forecasts of activity for each upcoming typhoon season. Forecasts are issued in April and June of each year and predict how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, and typhoons there will be in a season. This season, the GCACIC is predicting a slightly more active than usual season. An average season, according to the GCACIC, has 31 tropical cyclones, 27 named storms, and 17 typhoons. In its April forecast, the GCACIC predicted 33 total tropical cyclones, 30 named storms, and 19 typhoons before predicting the same number of systems, tropical storms, and typhoons in its June forecast. Tropical Storm Risk Consortium Since the 2000 typhoon season, the Tropical Storm Risk Consortium (TSR) of the University College of London have issued forecasts of activity for each upcoming typhoon season. During 2008 forecasts were issued in early March, May, July and August and predict how many tropical storms, typhoons and intense typhoons there will be during a season.According to TSR: An intense typhoon is a typhoon that has 1-minute winds of at least 175 km/h mph on 52008-03-10 http://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/docs/TSRNWPForecastMar2008.pdf Tropical Storm Risk Consortium 2010-07-03 Extended Range Forecast for Northwest Pacific Typhoon Activity in 2008 Adam Lea, Mark Saunders live https://web.archive.org/web/20101201005917/http://tropicalstormrisk.com/docs/TSRNWPForecastMar2008.pdf December 1, 2010 In its March forecast, TSR Predicted that the season would be about 20% below average with six intense tropical cyclones, however due to conflicting climate signals it was not possible to predict how many tropical storms and typhoons would form. In its May forecast, TSR were now able to predict how many tropical storms and typhoons, would form during the season. They also predicted that the season would be near normal with 28 tropical storms, 18 typhoons and 8 intense typhoons forming during the season. In their July and August forecasts, TSR predicted the same amount of tropical storms and typhoons and intense typhoons as their May forecasts. National meteorological service predictions As the name Frank was retired from PAGASA's naming lists they also released a prediction stating that there would be 16 more Tropical cyclones of any strength to pass through PAGASA'S area of responsibility which added to the six that had already moved through PAGASA's area of responsibility brought a total of 22 cyclones to pass through the PAGASA's area of responsibility during 2008. Seasonal summary The first tropical depression of the season, formed in mid January to the west of the Philippines. As it moved west, the depression did not develop any further and dissipated on January 18. After two more Tropical depressions, the first named storm Typhoon Neoguri formed in April to the east of Mindanao. During May as a result of convection being enhanced within the Philippine sea and the South China Sea four named storms formed which along with 1971 and 1980 was the joint highest incidence in May since 1951. Between June and October, the region was considered to be very quiet by the JMA as they only named 13 tropical cyclones. In November and December, only four tropical cyclones were named by the JMA and all four formed within the Philippine sea and the South China Sea.

During that afternoon, the JTWC designated the depression as Tropical Depression 15W. Later that day, the depression intensified into a Tropical Storm and was named Sinlaku by the JMA. During the next day, Sinlaku firstly rapidly intensified into a Severe Tropical Storm and then into a Typhoon. On September 10, Sinlaku reached its peak 1 minute sustained winds of 125 knots (145 mph). During September 11, Sinlaku started to weaken as it went under an eyewall replacement cycle. On September 13, Sinlaku made landfall on Taiwan with winds of 90 kn km/h which made Sinlaku a category-2 typhoon. As Sinlaku moved through Taiwan, Sinlaku turned to the Northeast and moved back into the South China Sea and started moving towards Japan. The next day, as Sinlaku moved towards Japan, it weakened into a Severe Tropical Storm and exited PAGASA's area of responsibility whilst the JTWC did not downgrade Sinlaku to a tropical storm until late on September 15. By then, they were followed by the JMA which downgraded Sinlaku to a tropical storm early the next day. On September 16, the JTWC reported that Sinlaku had restrengthened into a Typhoon whilst the JMA reported that Sinlaku had strengthened into a Severe Tropical Storm. However, the JTWC Quickly downgraded Sinlaku back down into a Tropical Storm whilst the JMA kept Sinlaku at Severe tropical Storm strength. The next day, the JTWC reported that Sinlaku had intensified into a typhoon for a third time. Later that day, the JTWC downgraded Sinlaku to Tropical Storm. On September 17, the JTWC issued its final advisory on Sinlaku as it became extratropical. However, the JMA kept issuing advisories on Sinlaku until early on September 21 when it became an extratropical low.

Early on September 19, the JMA began to issue full advisories on the depression as it moved into PAGASA's Area of Responsibility, naming it Nina by PAGASA. Later that day both the JMA & the JTWC upgraded the depression to a tropical storm. The JMA named the storm as Hagupit, and assigned the international number of 0814.

Later that day, both PAGASA and the JTWC designated the disturbance as a tropical depression, with PAGASA naming the depression as Pablo, whilst the JTWC designated it as Tropical Depression 21W. The JTWC upgraded the depression to a tropical storm early in the afternoon. The JMA followed shortly after and upgraded the system to Tropical Storm Higos early on September 30. Higos tracked towards the northwest and made landfall in the eastern Philippines (on Samar island) on October 1. Higos tracked over the Philippines as a tropical storm (but PAGASA downgraded it as a tropical depression) for most of the day before moving out over open waters. Once out over water, the JTWC downgraded Higos to a tropical depression, however, the JMA kept it as a tropical storm. As Higos neared landfall, it suddenly relocated, paralleling the northeastern coast of Hainan, China. The storm later made landfall on October 4 around 2 a.m. (CST) on the northern coastline of the island. JMA then issued its final advisory as Higos weakened to a tropical depression.

The next day, as it moved towards Mindanao, PAGASA designated it as Tropical Depression Tonyo. Early on November 16, the JTWC declared the system Tropical Depression 26W.

On November 17 the storm dissipated over Cambodia and both the JMA and JTWC issued their final warnings later that day.
