1994 Atlantic hurricane season
1994 Pacific hurricane season
1994 North Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 1994 Pacific typhoon season was the seventh and final consecutive to have above average tropical cyclone activity. It was an extremely active season, becoming the second most active season ever recorded in the basin, only behind 1964. With a total of 36 tropical storms, where 20 of them reached typhoon strength and 6 further strengthening into super typhoons, during the course of the season, much like the Pacific hurricane season. The season had no official bounds and it ran year-round in 1994, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and October. Tropical storms that formed west of the date line were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The World Meteorological Organization-designated Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre for tropical cyclones for the region is the Japan Meteorological Agency. Tropical depressions that entered or formed in the Philippine area of responsibility were assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can result in some storms having two names.
The season started on January 4 with the formation of Tropical Depression 01W to the west of Yap, with the first tropical storm developing a few months later on April 1, and ended near the end of the year when Tropical Storm Bobbie dissipated in the open Pacific on December 25. During the season, 25 systems either threatened land or made landfall, killing over 2,400 people. The strongest storm of the season was Super Typhoon Doug, which affected Taiwan, South Korea and mainland China, while the deadliest storm was Super Typhoon Fred, which killed over 1,000 people in China. Earlier in the season, the combined effects of two tropical storms —Russ and Sharon —caused flooding in China that killed over 1,400. The season also saw two storms, Li and John, cross into the Western North Pacific from the east, while one storm, Tropical Storm Yuri, formed from a precursor low that had similarly crossed the International Date Line. This season, PAGASA named 25 systems and had to use an auxiliary list to name some of them after running out of names from their standard list. Of the 25, three systems were not tracked by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

Of the 39, 34 became tropical storms and were named, of which 17 became typhoons. The season started on January 4 with the formation of Tropical Depression One-W to the west of Yap, with the first tropical storm developing a few months later on April 1. The season ended late in the year after Tropical Storm Bobbie dissipated in the open Pacific on December 25.December 2025
During the season, 25 systems either threatened land or made landfall, with eight striking the Philippines, eight moving into China, six moving into Vietnam, and three striking Taiwan and China. A total of over 2,400 people perished during the season. The strongest storm of the season was Super Typhoon Doug, which affected Taiwan, South Korea and mainland China, while the deadliest storm was Super Typhoon Fred, which killed over 1,000 people in China. Earlier in the season, the combined effects of two tropical storms — Russ and Sharon — caused flooding in China that killed over 1,400. The season also saw two storms, Li and John, cross into the Western North Pacific from the east, while one storm, Tropical Storm Yuri, formed from a precursor low that had similarly crossed the International Date Line. Hong Kong received 28 percent of its annual rainfall from tropical cyclones this season, which was slightly above normal.

The first tropical depression of the year was first observed as a poorly organized area of clouds, within a trough of low pressure near the Caroline Islands during January 1.Lander, Mark A Joint Typhoon Warning Center Tropical Depression 01W 1994 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report The system subsequently moved towards the north-northwest, while atmospheric convection surrounding the system organized further. As a result of this organization and a weather station on Chuuk island reporting wind speeds of 55 km/h mph 5 on, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the system during January 2. However the system did not become a significant tropical cyclone during January 3, as it was not able to sustain its convective organization. The system was subsequently classified as a tropical depression on January 4 while the system was about 600 km mi on, west of Yap.http://www.weather.gov.hk/publica/tc/tc1994.pdf Tropical Cyclones in 1994 Royal Observatory Hong Kong Government of Hong Kong 2000-05-17 2007-02-22 2006-12-30 https://web.archive.org/web/20061230231319/http://www.weather.gov.hk/publica/tc/tc1994.pdf
Tropical Depression 01W made landfall on Samar Island in the Philippines on the evening of January 5, following which the depression started to weaken. The final warning was issued early on January 6 after the system lost all its deep convection. A total of 35 to 45 deaths were reported, with over 69 million Philippine pesos (1994 pesos) or $2.4 million (1994 USD) in damage reported.http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/ACOS-64CE4N?OpenDocument&rc=3&emid=ACOS-635PB4 Philippines Tropical Storm Akang Jan 1994 UN DHA Information Report 1 United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs ReliefWeb 1994-01-13http://hkjo.lib.hku.hk/archive/files/65682fc9d717819e0ba6eededd97e734.pdf Bill Kyle 1995 1994 Tropical Cyclone Summary for the Western North Pacific Ocean (west of 180 degrees) University of Hong Kong It caused a major flood event in the Philippines.https://www.dartmouth.edu/~floods/Archives/1994sum.htm 1994 Global Register of Major Flood Events 2006-04-14 Dartmouth Flood Observatory Dartmouth College 2006-09-22 2017-02-23 https://web.archive.org/web/20170223201433/http://www.dartmouth.edu/~floods/Archives/1994sum.htm A total of at least 16,000 people had to take refuge in government-run shelters during and after the storm.

Typhoon Owen formed from a tropical disturbance which was originally identified within a near-equatorial trough over Micronesia. The disturbance was first mentioned by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center on March 29. By March 31, a distinct area within the trough showing signs of cyclonic spin appeared, and the JTWC initiated advisories on Tropical Depression 02W soon afterwards.http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1994atcr/pdf/wnp/02w.pdf Typhoon Owen (02W) Mark A.

Owen continued to strengthen, with the JMA classifying it a severe tropical storm on April 3. According to the JTWC, Owen reached typhoon intensity at the same time the JMA classified it a severe tropical storm. The storm tracked southwest to west-southwestward, and reached its peak intensity of 75 kn km/h from the JTWC (60 kn km/h from the JMA) on April 4, shortly before landfall between Leyte and Mindanao. A reading taken late on April 3 at Guiuan on Samar reported sustained winds of 45 kn km/h. It weakened to a tropical storm overland, before it restrengthened slightly after emerging into the South China Sea. A drilling rig reported 50 kn km/h sustained winds. Soon afterwards, the cyclone dissipated over water northwest of Luzon on April 9.
Owen's west-southwestward track shortly before landfall was rare. Owen was one of just two April typhoons in the previous 36 years — the other being Typhoon Wanda of the 1971 season – to make landfall while moving west-southwestward. Owen's later recurvature in the South China Sea was also unusual; it recurved at a latitude of only about 13°N, about 3° south of the average latitude for recurvature in the South China Sea in April.
Owen's impact on the Philippines was widespread, with nine provinces being declared under a "state of calamity" by President of the Philippines Fidel Ramos.http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/OCHA-64D62M?OpenDocument Philippines Tropical Storm Owen Apr 1994 UN DHA Information Report 1 United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs ReliefWeb 1994-04-09 At least 10 people were killed with 5 others missing, and a further 14 fishermen feared drowned. A total of 33 were reported wounded. Over 9000 families were affected by Owen.
In Okinawa, heavy rains were reported on Yonaguni, with a total reported precipitation amount of 313 mm in.http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/dt/summary_prec.pl?id=199401&lang=en&sort=total&order=dec&stype=number Precipitation Summary View (Typhoon 199401) Asanobu Kitamoto National Institute of Informatics The peak winds measured at Yonaguni in association with Typhoon Owen were 32.4 km/h kn.http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/dt/summary_wind.pl?id=199401&lang=en&sort=speed&order=dec&stype=number Wind Summary View (Typhoon 199401) Asanobu Kitamoto National Institute of Informatics

On May 8, a large increase in deep convection associated with near-equatorial troughs was noted in the eastern Caroline Islands. By the next morning, visible satellite imagery showed an increase in organization of the deep convection associated with the system, and synoptic reports from buoys confirmed that a low-level circulation centre was present near 5 N 153 E inline.http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1994atcr/pdf/wnp/03w.pdf Typhoon Page (03W) 1994 Mark A.

At the same time, the Japan Meteorological Agency began tracking the system, about 510 km mi west-southwest of Guam.
Page moved on a northwestward track for the next couple days while slowly strengthening. Page was upgraded to a tropical storm by the JTWC late on May 12,http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1994/1994s-bwp/bwp031994.txt txt 1994 Best Track Data Joint Typhoon Warning Center 2010-01-01 2010-03-11 https://web.archive.org/web/20100311214254/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1994/1994s-bwp/bwp031994.txt dead when it was located 500 km mi north of Yap, while the JMA first considered the system a tropical storm on May 13. Late on May 13, Page suddenly slowed in forward speed and began turning to the northeast. On May 14, Page became a typhoon. However, the JMA did not follow suit until 30 hours later. Page reached its maximum intensity of 90 kn km/h and minimum pressure of 965 hPa inHg thirty hours after passing the point of recurvature. Final warnings were issued by both the JTWC and the JMA early on May 18, as it began extratropical transition around 960 km mi east-southeast of Tokyo.
Page had the largest average track forecast errors of all the typhoons in 1994, mainly due to failures in expecting its recurvature. Furthermore, Page's late attainment of maximum intensity, at 30 hours after point of recurvature, is not common. Between 1978 and 1993, only seven of 77 typhoons attained peak intensity more than 24 hours after recurving.
Large waves and high tides generated by Page affected the western Mariana Islands. A few tourists had to be rescued from high surf and strong currents on Guam. Minimal rainfall was recorded in Japan, the highest recorded total was 29 mm in in Kumagaya, Saitama.Asanobu Kitamoto http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/dt/summary_prec.pl?id=199402&lang=en&sort=total&order=dec&stype=number Precipitation Summary View (Typhoon 199402) National Institute of Informatics At Mount Tsukuba, a maximum sustained wind speed of 58 km/h kn was recorded.Asanobu Kitamoto Wind Summary View (Typhoon 199402) National Institute of Informatics http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/dt/summary_wind.pl?id=199402&lang=en&sort=speed&order=dec&stype=number

On May 14, an area of deep convection associated with a weak cyclonic circulation near Kosrae was mentioned in the JTWC's 0600 UTC Significant Tropical Weather Advisory. For the next five days, this weak circulation tracked west-northwestward in the direction of Guam, before turning to the west-southwest, but convection failed to consolidate near the centre during this time.http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1994atcr/pdf/wnp/04w.pdf Tropical Depression 04W Mark A.

Shortly after, SSM/I imagery indicated the presence of a well-defined low-level circulation centre, and visible and infrared satellite images indicated an increase in organisation of the system and a consolidation of deep convection near the centre. Based on this, a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the JTWC at 0600 UTC.
The first warning was issued a day later when the amount of deep convection near the centre increased as the depression neared the Philippines. While over the Philippine islands, a large mesoscale convective system (MCS) developed near the centre of the tropical depression, something that would occur again later while the system was west of Luzon. Soon after the second MCS weakened, the system made landfall in central Vietnam on May 26, and quickly dissipated when inland. The Hong Kong Observatory tracked this system as a weak tropical depression from May 25 UTC when it was about 520 km mi on southeast of Xisha for about 24 hours before it dissipated.
According to press reports, over 2,000 people were forced to evacuate from Davao City, despite no reports of significantly high winds or low pressures, as the system caused heavy rainfall that produced heavy flooding that killed five people and left at least one person missing.

Tropical Storm Russ was one of just three storms to cause the Hong Kong Observatory to raise Tropical Cyclone Signal #3 in the 1994 season. Russ was first spotted on June 2, about 140 km mi east of Hainan Island as a tropical disturbance.http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1994atcr/pdf/wnp/05w.pdf Tropical Storm Russ (05W) Charles P.

The system initially moved east to northeast while slowly strengthening. Russ became a tropical storm on the evening of June 4,1994 Best Track Data Joint Typhoon Warning Center http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1994/1994s-bwp/bwp051994.txt 2010-01-01 2010-03-11 https://web.archive.org/web/20100311214259/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1994/1994s-bwp/bwp051994.txt dead passing just south of Dongsha that night. PAGASA then named the system Emang, shortly before it made a clockwise loop and started to move back towards the west-southwest, intensifying. Russ made landfall on June 8 on the northeastern Luichow Peninsula, and weakened inland. The extratropical remnants continued east-northeast toward Japan before dissipating.
The maximum wind gust in Hong Kong was reported at Tai Mo Shan, where a gust to 56 kn km/h was recorded on June 7. Maximum daily rainfall in the territory was recorded at Yuen Long on June 8, when 41.0 mm in was reported. Russ killed at least 74 people in Hainan, Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces and injured another 726 people. 16 others were reported missing. 702,430 hectare km2 mi2 off of farmland in the three provinces were destroyed by floods from Russ. Around 725,000 houses were destroyed. Total damage was estimated at 6.3 billion RMB (1994 RMB), or $727.5 million (1994 USD).Canada.com: the Currency Sie.

In mid-June, not long after Tropical Storm Russ had made landfall, an area of convection south of Chuuk within the near-equatorial trough began to consolidate. The system moved west-northwest as it began to organize on June 20. Acquiring tropical depression strength on June 21, intensification halted due to vertical wind shear. Subsequent weakened led to its dissipation as a tropical depression by June 22.Charles P.

PAGASA named the system Gading as it neared the Philippines, and twelve hours after the final warning was issued, convection once again built up, and a new warning was issued. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued their first warning on Tropical Storm 9404 a day later. As it crossed Luzon, Sharon caused flooding and released mudflows from Mount Pinatubo, killing two people. Traffic on two main highways near Manila was disrupted by the mud.
After crossing Luzon, Sharon reached its peak, with vertical shear inhibiting further intensification. It made landfall on June 25 around 140 m mi east-northeast of Zhanjiang, or 110 km mi east of where Tropical Storm Russ had made landfall just weeks before. Winds gusted to 52 kn km/h at Tai Mo Shan in Hong Kong. Sharon claimed 11 lives in the seas off Hong Kong, and the combined flooding effects of Russ and Sharon reportedly left more than 1,400 people dead, and caused over $6 billion (1994 USD) in damage.

Continuing northwest, Tim moved into mainland China as a weaker typhoon, crossing the coast about 150 km mi south-southwest of Fuzhou. It dissipated well inland on July 11.
Damage was widespread in Taiwan, where Tim killed at least 19 people and left another 11 missing, and where 67 people reported injuries. A freighter with 97 mainland Chinese on board ran aground near Suao. About 50,000 hectare km2 mi2 off of farmland was flooded, and more than 300 buildings collapsed during the storm. The bad weather also disrupted international flights, and knocked out electricity to over 2 million households. NT$2 billion (1994 TWD), or US$75 million (1994 dollars), was the reported cost of damage.
In Fujian Province, Typhoon Tim killed three people and flooded 140,000 ha km2 mi2 off of farmland, with damages estimated at 1.5 billion renminbi (1994 RMB), or $173.5 million (1994 USD). Tim was also responsible for 14 deaths and 6 injuries in the Philippines (Pangasinan, Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte provinces) as it passed near the area.http://www.adrc.or.jp/publications/databook/databook_20th/PHL.pdf Natural Disasters in Philippines (Raw Data, 1901–2000) 13 Asian Disaster Reduction Center https://web.archive.org/web/20070928031747/http://www.adrc.or.jp/publications/databook/databook_20th/PHL.pdf September 28, 2007

Vanessa made an anti-clockwise loop and then started to move northeastward under the steering influence of a monsoon flow and Typhoon Tim's circulation, reaching a peak intensity of 45 kn km/h west of Luzon before it was absorbed by the larger typhoon. The final warning was issued on July 11 after it was determined that Vanessa's circulation had been absorbed. Vanessa was responsible for three deaths in the Philippines, where it was known as Loleng.

Walt was part of a three tropical cyclone outbreak along a reverse-oriented monsoon trough (aligned northeast–southwest rather than the usual northwest–southeast orientation.) By July 11, a thunderstorm cluster developed near Palau. The disturbance moved slowly northwest, becoming a tropical depression late on July 14. As it neared the 15th parallel, Walt turned to the northeast and intensified. By the afternoon of July 19 the cyclone had become a super typhoon, the first of the season, an intensity it maintained for a day. While slowly weakening, Walt turned to the west. By the morning of July 23 the cyclone had dropped down to tropical storm strength as it turned to the north for a couple days. The storm turned back to the west, making landfall on the southwest end of Shikoku as a moderate tropical storm, bringing wind gusts to tropical storm force. The cyclone dissipated south of Korea by early on July 27. Rainfall across South Korea helped improve severe drought conditions.Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Super Typhoon Walt.

Moving east-northeast, the system strengthened into Tropical Depression 11W by July 18. At 0600 UTC that day, the Japan Meteorological Agency declared the formation of Tropical Storm Yunya. Yunya continued to undergo gradual strengthening, reaching its peak strength near landfall in northwest Luzon on the morning of July 19.
As it tracked over land, it became disorganized and weakened to a minimal tropical storm. In the Philippine Sea, Yunya briefly restrengthened and reached a secondary peak of 40 kn km/h. The JMA discontinued warnings after it deemed Yunya to have dropped below tropical storm intensity at 1800 UTC that day, while the JTWC continued monitoring the tropical depression until convection decreased and the storm dissipated on July 21. During its life, Yunya had an unusual eastward motion, which was due to the reverse-oriented monsoon trough. Yunya was also a small system, and appeared to have been undergoing a period of rapid organisation of convection shortly before it made landfall.
Heavy rain from Yunya caused landslides of volcanic debris from Mount Pinatubo. Coincidentally, a previous Typhoon Yunya in 1991 hit the Philippines the day of Mount Pinatubo's major eruption. Gusts were in excess of 60 kn km/h across Luzon. Yunya killed at least 11 people and injured at least 7 others, and affected over 420,000 people. A total of $37.6 million (1994 USD) in damage was reported in the Philippines from Yunya.

Forming at the opposite end of the monsoon trough from Walt on July 14, the initial tropical disturbance moved north to northeast. Slowly developing, the system became a tropical depression during the early afternoon of July 18. Westerly upper-level shear from Walt was slowing development, and Zeke finally achieved tropical storm status early on July 20. The cyclone continued to waver around a northeast track. After turning more northward early on the afternoon of July 22, Zeke became a typhoon for half of a day. Wavering around a more northerly track, Zeke weakened and evolved into an extratropical cyclone on by early on July 25.Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Typhoon Zeke. Retrieved on 2007-05-19.

On July 26 a tropical disturbance developed in the Philippine Sea. The system moved northwest at a slow pace for a couple days. A southwest surge in the monsoon turned the disturbance northward, and the system became a tropical depression on the morning of July 29. Accelerating to the north, Brendan became a tropical storm just before reaching Okinawa. The cyclone reached peak intensity to the south of Cheju Island, Korea as a moderate tropical storm. After recurving in the Yellow Sea, the storm recurved across Korea during extratropical transition with subtropical cyclone characteristics. The cyclone evolved into an extratropical cyclone while crossing the Sea of Japan, and reintensified. Up to 200 mm in of rain in the Korean peninsula helped relieve drought conditions. Two died in Korea during the passage of Brendan.

By August 22, the system organized into a small tropical cyclone, which was heading off towards the north. On August 23, the system turned westward due to increased ridging to its north. It soon became a tropical storm on August 24, and developed into a typhoon on August 25. Westerly vertical wind shear led to weakening, and Gladys became a weak tropical storm on August 28. The wind shear relented, and Gladys redeveloped into a typhoon as it moved towards Taiwan, increasing in size as well as intensity. The system weakened as it tracked across northern Taiwan, prior to making landfall over mainland China, dissipating on September 2. Winds at Suao gusted to 133 kn km/h as it moved by northern Taiwan. Six people perished. A total of NT$400 million (1994 dollars), or $15.4 million (1994 USD), in agricultural damage was incurred across Taiwan.

Guard Joint Typhoon Warning Center 1995 2007-03-08 On the morning of September 5, upper-level winds which had affected the deep convection to the north of the depression's circulation centre began to weaken, allowing the convection to wrap around the north side of the system. Based on this, the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Joel. The Japan Meteorological Agency upgraded the storm to Tropical Storm 9422 early the next morning local time.
Joel then made a sharp turn towards the north, and made landfall on the southwestern corner of Hainan Island. During passage over land, Joel reached its peak of 45 kn km/h before turning to the northwest and exiting land into the Gulf of Tonkin. The storm knocked down a few large trees on Hanian. A cloud-filled banding eye then became apparent on visible satellite imagery. Joel made landfall on September 7 near Haiphong, Vietnam before dissipating inland west of Hanoi.

Lander 1994 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report Joint Typhoon Warning Center 1995 2007-03-08 This system was first noted as a tropical disturbance on October 15 while about 550 km mi east of the southern Mariana Islands. The system moved west and passed north of Guam near Saipan on October 16 at around 0600 UTC.
Slowly organizing, the system evolved into Tropical Depression 34W early on October 16, and a tropical storm later in the day. Teresa continued moving westward at a constant pace and intensified into a typhoon on October 19, reaching its peak intensity of 80 kn km/h that same day. Teresa crossed the central Philippines on a west-southwestward track, passing just south of Manila. It had weakened to a severe tropical storm by the time it exited the Philippine islands. The storm continued on a southwestward motion, slowly re-intensifying, and it had regained typhoon strength by October 23. The storm then slowed and turned toward the west, and slowly weakened as it moved towards the coast of Vietnam. The final warning was issued by the JTWC when Teresa was still a tropical storm, but weakening over water east of Vietnam. The remnants of Teresa made landfall in southern Vietnam late on October 26.
Teresa left at least 14 dead and 11 injured in the Philippines, and caused heavy damage to rice and coconut plantations. Electricity was cut off in Manila and surrounding areas. Trees were also reported uprooted, and utility poles brought down. A Maltese oil tanker located in the South China Sea about 600 km mi southeast of Hong Kong split into two and capsized, killing two and leaving 14 missing. The other crew members were rescued.

Forming along the trough axis in which Teresa and Verne, a tropical disturbance formed on October 18 in the central tropical Pacific. The system slowly developed, becoming a tropical depression on October 19. The depression moved west-northwestward, becoming a tropical storm on October 20. After becoming a typhoon, Wilda turned west-southwest towards Saipan. From late on October 24 through late on October 25, Wilda stalled 170 km mi east-northeast of Saipan, slowly weakening. Up to 4.95 in mm fell across the central portion of Guam while winds gusted to 74 kn km/h as Wilda stalled to the northeast. The system then turned northeast along the now reverse-oriented monsoon trough due to a weakness in the subtropical ridge to its north until October 28, before bending back to the north-northwest. Late on October 29, Wilda turned back to the northeast and began to accelerate, with the system evolving into an extratropical cyclone on November 1.

On October 22, an area of convection formed northwest of Hawaii in association with a tropical upper tropospheric trough. Moving rapidly westward, the low-level circulation center associated with the convective clouds crossed the International Date Line later that day. The first mention of this system by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in their Significant Tropical Weather Advisory six hours later noted that the low-level circulation had been developing under the TUTT cell. Slowly developing, on October 23, the system organized into Tropical Depression 36W.http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1994atcr/pdf/wnp/36w.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20110607031749/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1994atcr/pdf/wnp/36w.pdf 2011-06-07 Tropical Storm Yuri (36W) Mark A. Lander 1994 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report 1995 Joint Typhoon Warning Center The Japan Meteorological Agency upgraded the system to Tropical Storm 9433 at 1200 UTC that day, shortly before the JTWC decided to upgrade the depression to Tropical Storm Yuri. The JTWC upgrade was based on a small area of deep convection which had formed to the southeast of the low-level centre, as well as a rapid low-level cloud motion of 40 kn km/h that was observed to the north of the circulation.
Yuri remained a minimal tropical storm for the next two days or so before it was downgraded to a tropical depression because of a lack of deep convection and a weakening in its appearance on satellite imagery. The final warning was issued a few hours later on October 25. A weak wind of 11 kn km/h associated with the dissipating system was recorded at Chichi-jima on October 25.Asanobu Kitamoto http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/dt/summary_wind.pl?id=199433&lang=en&sort=speed&order=dec&stype=number National Institute of Informatics Wind Summary View (Typhoon 199433)

The northeastern end of the monsoon trough developed into Tropical Depression 37W on October 25 over subtropical latitudes. It headed southeastward, then turned to the southwest, becoming a tropical storm on the 29th. Zelda continued its slow intensification rate, and as it turned more westward, it became a typhoon on the 1st. Continuing its clockwise movement, Zelda turned to the northwest, where it passed over the Northern Mariana Islands. On the 3rd the storm rapidly intensified to a 135 kn km/h on super typhoon, and as it turned to the northeast it slowly weakened to a tropical storm on the 8th. On the 10th, Zelda dissipated, only 1700 km mi from its start after following a several thousand mile track.

Forming along a near-equatorial trough, a surface circulation formed on December 13 and began to move west-northwestward. The system organized into a tropical depression on December 14, but only for 12 hours as the system became much less organized and had more than one circulation center. On December 15, the system began to regenerate due to increasing thunderstorm activity near its main circulation center, and by late in the day, was once again considered a tropical depression. Modestly developing thereafter, the tropical cyclone intensified into a typhoon on December 19 as it turned due west.
Axel moved south of Samar in the Philippines, weakening as it moved through the archipelago. Nineteen perished as the typhoon moved through the country,https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=8cBNEdFwSQkC&dat=19941224&printsec=frontpage&hl=en Manila Standard - Google News Archive Search with five deaths occurring in Bacolod City as heavy rains caused a dam break. High waves destroyed 163 homes on Mindanao. The storm also knocked out power lines and caused a massive blackout in the entire island of Luzon. Entering the South China Sea as a tropical storm, the system briefly reintensified into a typhoon before vertical wind shear substantially increased, which led to its significant weakening. The tropical cyclone dissipated 370 km mi southeast of Hong Kong on December 26.
As Axel passed 30 nm (55 km) to the north of Yap, minor damage to vegetation was reported. At least 12 people died in the central Philippines. Flood waters breached a dam, drowning five people and injuring 25 in Bacolod City, 260 nm (480 km) southeast of Manila. In Tacloban City, seven people died and 17 were reported missing. On the island of Mindanao, huge waves generated by the approaching typhoon destroyed 163 houses, leaving 897 people homeless. In total 1,443 houses were destroyed, leaving at least 7,930 people homeless. A 12-hour power blackout affected Manila when strong winds knocked down a major transmission line on Luzon. Overall, the storm left 44 dead and caused ₱648 million (US$24.5 million) in damage.DESTRUCTIVE TYPHOONS 1970-2003 http://baseportal.com/cgi-bin/baseportal.pl?htx=/miso/typhoons&range=160,20 2026-05-29 baseportal.com

Moving west-northwest, a tropical disturbance formed in the Marshall Islands on December 15. Due to vertical wind shear, the system was slow to organize. The system organized into a tropical depression on December 18, and intensified into a tropical storm on December 19. The system recurved weakened to a remnant low early on December 26.

On September 26, an upper-tropospheric circulation separated from an upper-level trough that was situated northwest of Hawaii, and began moving westward towards the International Date Line. This tropical upper tropospheric trough also had deep convection associated with low-level cloud lines, which suggested that a low-level circulation possibly existed.http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1994atcr/pdf/wnp/31w.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20110607031657/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1994atcr/pdf/wnp/31w.pdf 2011-06-07 Mark A. Lander 1995 1994 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report Joint Typhoon Warning Center Tropical Depression 31W It crossed the Dateline on September 27, with the convection persisting. The system continued to organise and became a tropical depression the next day, despite lacking in deep convection. It recurved eastward and weakened on October 3, and the final warning was issued.
