It was an extremely active season reaching 32 tropical storms, 20 typhoons and five super typhoons. It has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1989, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.Gary Padgett.

These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The first storm, Winona, formed on January 15, while the final storm, Jack, dissipated on December 27. This season was also quite a deadly season that were caused by a few notable storms such as Tropical Storm Cecil, which was the worst storm to impact Vietnam in over 50 years,Reuters New Straits Times June 1, 1989 March 2, 2013 Worst Natural Disaster https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=saFUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=NpADAAAAIBAJ&dq=storm%20cecil&pg=2152%2C88321 Bangkok, Thailand 15F and Typhoon Gay, which directly impacted the Malay Peninsula as the worst typhoon in 35 years. Both of these storms make up around half of the total fatalities of the entire season alone. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and between 100°E and 180th meridian. 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. Season summary Throughout 1989, several large-scale factors across the western Pacific Ocean displaced unusual characteristics that presented unique difficulties to forecasters. In their annual tropical cyclone report for 1989, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center regarded the season as one of the most challenging and unique years in their history. During much of the year, a very broad monsoon trough was present and resulted in significant diurnal fluctuations in convective activity that inhibited rapid development of many disturbances. The mid-tropospheric ridge was unusually narrow and led to difficulties in forecasting straight-running storms. Additionally, the tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT) had a major role in the development of many systems, most notably Typhoon Gordon which formed from a single thunderstorm underneath a TUTT cell.Joint Typhoon Warning Center United States Navy 22–26 1990 June 13, 2012 1989 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclones http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1989atcr.pdf dead https://web.archive.org/web/20130221101605/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1989atcr.pdf February 21, 2013 The season began with the unusual development of Tropical Storm Winona east of the International Date Line in early January. Remaining active for two weeks, the system crossed the basin before dissipating over the Philippines. Following a three-month lull in activity, a powerful typhoon developed in mid-April and was the second system in nine years to become a super typhoon during that month. By mid-May, an extensive monsoon trough had become established from the Bay of Bengal eastward into the South China Sea. Typhoon Brenda developed from this trough over the South China Sea and moved inland over southern China before dissipating. The typhoon left an area of enhanced low-level southerly flow in its wake that triggered the development of Typhoon Cecil at the end of the month. Two more storms developed during June – Typhoon Dot and Tropical Storm Ellis. The first was a strong typhoon that developed near the Caroline Islands and moved westward, eventually dissipating over Vietnam. The second was a poorly organized system that moved generally northward and struck Japan. In early July, a surge in the monsoon trough over the basin resulted in the development of Tropical Storm Faye. While this system was over the Philippines, Typhoon Gordon developed underneath a TUTT cell to the east. Following Gordon's rapid intensification phase, a new tropical storm developed within an area of enhanced divergence associated with the same TUTT cell. Several days later, the monsoon trough became exceptionally active and spawned several consecutive cyclones in late-July: Irving over the South China Sea, Judy near the Mariana Islands, 12W near Taiwan, and Ken–Lola around the Ryukyu Islands. The development of seven tropical cyclones in July made it the most active July since 1973. The extreme activity continued into August with the formations of Mac, Nancy, Owen, Peggy, and 19W, all of which formed within the monsoon trough. The rapid succession of Nancy, Owen, and Peggy led to several days of binary interaction between the systems well to the south of Japan. Tropical Storm Roger developed near the Ryukyu Islands a few days after 19W dissipated and rapidly tracked northeastward through Japan. This was the only storm of the month not to develop within the monsoon trough. The final system of August, 21W, developed to the northeast of Guam and dissipated due to strong wind shear. Heavy rains alongside several typhoons between June and September resulted in deadly flooding across parts of Anhui, Hebei, Hubei, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Jilin, Sichuan, and Zhejiang provinces in China. The floods killed approximately 3,000 people and overall losses reached $2.7 billion.Munich Reinsurance Company January 2011 February 28, 2013 Weather Catastrophes in China 1980 – 2010 http://www.munichre.com/app_pages/www/@res/pdf/group/focus/climate_change/weather_catastrophes_in_china_1980-2010_en.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20130718012936/http://www.munichre.com/app_pages/www/@res/pdf/group/focus/climate_change/weather_catastrophes_in_china_1980-2010_en.pdf July 18, 2013 dead Systems Tropical Storm Winona WPac Winona 1989-01-19 0000Z.png Winona 1989 path.png January 15 (Entered basin) January 21 55 35 1000 On January 15, Tropical Storm Winona crossed the International Date Line and entered the Western Pacific basin. Embedded within broad easterly flow, the storm turned west-southwestward, a heading it would retain until dissipation, and accelerated. This acceleration caused slight strengthening of the storm by enhancing winds on the north side of the low. On January 16, Winona passed approximately 140 km mi on south of Wake Island. Operationally, it was not until January 18 that the JTWC began issuing warnings on the system. At the same time, the JMA assessed Winona to have been a weak tropical storm with winds of 65 km/h mph on 5. Around 0700 UTC on January 18, the ship MV Williams passed close to or through the center of Winona and measured a pressure of 991 mbar hPa inHg on alongside 85 km/h mph on 5 sustained winds with gusts up to 130 km/h mph on 5. This was the only direct measurement in relation to the cyclone. Early on January 19, the JTWC assessed Winona to have reached its peak intensity with 100 km/h mph on 5 winds as it passed just north of Saipan. Later that day, convection quickly diminished as Winona moved into a shallow air mass-produced by polar system to the north. The system maintained only intermittent convection for another day before making landfall in the central Philippines. The storm quickly weakened and dissipated on January 22 as it emerged into the South China Sea. Before dissipating, the remnants of Winona tracked through the Philippines; however, no known impact resulted from its passage. Throughout its nearly two week existence, Winona traveled approximately 10,185 km mi on across the Pacific Ocean.Lt. Ryan R.

Though not the strongest in the series of typhoons to affect the Philippines, Dan was the costliest with total economic losses reaching $59.2 million. Roughly 95 percent of Metro Manila was left without power and some areas remained in the dark for weeks. Across Vietnam, heavy rains from Dan exacerbated ongoing floods and caused further damage to areas recovering from Typhoons Angela and Brian.United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs ReliefWeb January 15, 1990 December 28, 2011 Vietnam Typhoons Oct 1989 UNDRO Situation Reports 1–6 http://reliefweb.int/node/34334 Approximately 130,000 ha acre off of land was flooded by the storm.

On October 15, the storm underwent a period of rapid intensification, attaining an intensity that corresponds to a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale. After taking a due west track towards the northern Philippines, the storm intensified further, becoming a Category 5 super typhoon hours before making landfall in Luzon. After moving inland, the typhoon rapidly weakened to a tropical storm. Once back over water in the South China Sea, wind shear prevented re-intensification. Elsie eventually made landfall in Vietnam on October 22 and dissipated the following day over Laos.Lt. Bruce W.

Although it was stronger than the previous two, Elsie caused far less damage due to the relatively sparse population in the area of landfall. During the storm's passage, 47 people were killed and another 363 were injured. Damages throughout the country amounted to $35.4 million and roughly 332,000 people were left homeless.

Once it passed Guam by only 85 mi km on, it intensified into a typhoon, with maximum sustained winds peaking at 95 knot mph. Tree limbs and power lines were downed as the system pulled away from Saipan. It then recurved, accelerating northeast to become of the strongest extratropical cyclones in the Pacific Ocean that year.Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Typhoon Forrest. Retrieved on 2007-01-07.

As the depression moved towards the northwest it strengthened into Tropical Storm Hunt which rapidly intensified becoming a typhoon while moving towards the northwest. Typhoon Hunt reached peak intensity of 105 mi/h km/h on just before turning due west towards the Philippines. Hunt maintained peak intensity until landfall on central Luzon Island. Seven people were killed and minor damage occurred to U.S. Military operations. After departing the Philippines Hunt was downgraded and dissipated in the South China Sea. Offshore, large swells produced by the storm sank a boat off the coast of Quezon Province, killing six people.United Press International November 21, 1989 Philippines braces for Typhoon Hunt Manila, Philippines LexisNexis These waves also swept away 60 homes in the coastal communities of Catarman and Biri, leaving 948 people homeless.Jervina Lao United Press International November 22, 1989 Typhoon batters Philippines Manila, Philippines LexisNexis A total of 212 homes were destroyed and 3,401 more were damaged.

Typhoon Irma (Walding) WPac Irma 1989 path.png Irma 1989-11-30 0530Z.png November 21 December 4 140 95 925 Typhoon Irma formed on November 21 as a minimal cyclone. Irma did not intensify at first, as it moved over lukewarm waters for most of its early life. But as it moved over warm waters, it rapidly intensified to a strong typhoon. The storm intensified from a category 1 to a category 3 in less than 2 1 2 days, and rapidly intensified from a Category 3 to a Category 5 in 12 hours. Then, Irma began to weaken as it traveled over very cool waters near the Philippines. Irma then weakened and dissipated two days later on December 4.

Typhoon Jack WPac December 21 December 27 125 95 925 Jack 1989 path.png Jack 1989-12-26 0000Z.png Typhoon Jack (1989) Typhoon Jack was the twenty-first typhoon and final tropical cyclone of the year. The disturbance that became Jack was first identified by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) on December 21 as a broad area of poorly organized convection about 240 nmi km mi 0 on southeast of Truk. A Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued late on December 22, and the JTWC began issuing warnings on Tropical Depression 36W at 00:00 UTC on December 23. The system strengthened into Tropical Storm Jack six hours later while moving northwestward toward the Mariana Islands. The Royal Observatory in Hong Kong separately analyzed Jack as having developed into a tropical depression on December 22, about 1400 km mi 0 on east-southeast of Guam.Joint Typhoon Warning Center 1989 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report Typhoon Jack (36W) United States Naval Oceanographic Command Center Guam 1990 183–185 https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1989atcr.pdf August 4, 2026Royal Observatory, Hong Kong Tropical Cyclones in 1989 Government of Hong Kong October 1990 16, 96 https://www.hko.gov.hk/en/publica/tc/files/tc1989.pdf August 4, 2026 Jack became a typhoon on December 24 while approximately 590 km mi 0 on east of Guam. Forecasts initially expected the cyclone to recurve through a weakness in the subtropical ridge, but the broad ridge prevented this and left Jack in an area of weak steering currents. The cyclone then underwent rapid intensification. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) estimated that Jack reached maximum 10-minute sustained winds of 95 kn km/h mph 0 on and a minimum pressure of 925 hPa inHg 2 on early on December 26. The JTWC estimated a substantially higher peak of 125 kn km/h mph 0 on in one-minute sustained winds between 18:00 UTC on December 25 and 12:00 UTC on December 26, equivalent to a Category 4 typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson scale.Kitamoto Asanobu Typhoon 198932 (Jack)—General Information https://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/digital-typhoon/summary/wnp/s/198932.html.en Digital Typhoon National Institute of Informatics August 4, 2026 Jack approached to within about 185 nmi km mi 0 on of Guam before becoming nearly stationary. Its proximity allowed prolonged surveillance by weather radar at Andersen Air Force Base. Radar observations indicated that Jack moved only about 60 nmi km mi 0 on between the morning of December 25 and early December 27, including less than 20 nmi km mi 0 on during one 24-hour period. Its eye was estimated to be 20 to 30 nmi km mi 0 on in diameter. Because Jack remained nearly stationary for almost 48 hours, the JTWC anticipated that upwelling of cooler water beneath the cyclone would cause rapid weakening. The subsequent collapse was more extreme than forecast: the JTWC reduced Jack's estimated winds from 105 kn km/h mph 0 on at 00:00 UTC on December 27 to an exposed 30 kn km/h mph 0 on low-level circulation only 24 hours later. The remaining deep convection was displaced about 300 nmi km mi 0 on south of the original center, and satellite imagery on December 29 detected a cold-water cyclonic ocean eddy where Jack had stalled. On December 25, a level two tropical cyclone condition of readiness was issued for Guam as Jack stalled about 320 km mi 0 on east of the territory.Associated Press December 25, 1989 Powerful Typhoon Threatens Guam, Saipan Agana, Guam LexisNexis Residents were advised to obtain emergency supplies, the United States Air Force relocated B-52 bombers to Okinawa, and the United States Navy ordered its large vessels to sea.Guam Gears for Storm https://www.deseret.com/1989/12/26/18838146/guam-gears-for-storm/ Deseret News December 26, 1989 August 4, 2026 Banks on Guam were also closed, while officials on Saipan advised residents to stock emergency supplies.Associated Press December 26, 1989 Powerful Typhoon Threatens Guam, Saipan Agana, Guam LexisNexis Jack remained offshore, and its abrupt weakening on December 27 ended the immediate threat to the Mariana Islands.Associated Press December 26, 1989 Typhoon Downgraded to Tropical Depression Agana, Guam LexisNexis Other systems In addition to the storms listed above, the China Meteorological Agency also monitored six other tropical depressions.
