List of storms named Heling

Last updated September 07, 2024

The name Heling has been used for nine tropical cyclones in the Philippine Area of Responsibility in the Western Pacific Ocean. All storms were named by PAGASA or its predecessor, the Philippine Weather Bureau:

Tropical Depression Heling (1966) – a short-lived tropical depression that was only tracked by PAGASA.
Tropical Storm Violet (1970) (T7008, 09W, Heling) – a minimal tropical storm that affected the Philippines and China.
Tropical Storm Jean (1974) (T7411, 12W, Heling) – a severe tropical storm that hit Taiwan and eastern China.
Tropical Storm Della (1978) (T7812, 13W, Heling) – another tropical storm which hit Taiwan and China.
Tropical Depression Heling (1982) – a weak tropical depression only recognized by PAGASA.
Typhoon Roger (1986) (T8608, 08W, Heling) – a relatively strong typhoon that brushed the coast of Japan.
Typhoon Becky (1990) (T9016, 16W, Heling) – made landfall in the Philippines and Vietnam, killing at least 32 people.
Tropical Depression Heling (1994) – another tropical depression that was only monitored by PAGASA.
Typhoon Yanni (1998) (T9809, 14W, Heling) – skirted the Taiwanese coast as a typhoon before striking South Korea as a tropical storm, claiming 50 lives.

The name Heling was later included in PAGASA's revised list of tropical cyclone names. However, it has been relegated to the auxiliary list for List IV (which was first used in 2004).

The 1995 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly below average season in terms of named storms, ending a 6-year stretch of above average activity. It occurred all year round, though most tropical cyclones formed between May and November.

The 1978 Pacific typhoon season was a very active season that produced 31 tropical storms, 16 typhoons and one intense typhoon. It ran year-round in 1978, 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 1977 Pacific typhoon season was one of the least active Pacific typhoon seasons on record, with only 19 tropical storms forming. It was also the second of three known typhoon seasons during the satellite era to not produce a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon, sandwiched between the 1974 and 2017 seasons. The season's first storm, Severe Tropical Storm Patsy, formed on March 23 and the last, Typhoon Mary, dissipated on January 2, 1978. With Mary spanning two calendar years, it became the fourth typhoon to do so since 1945. Since then, two other typhoons have achieved this feat.

The 1969 Pacific typhoon season was the fourth least-active season on record. The season had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1969, 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.
