List of storms named Lusing

Last updated October 22, 2024

The name Lusing was used for ten tropical cyclones by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and its predecessor, the Philippine Weather Bureau, in the Western Pacific Ocean.

Typhoon Elsie (1964) (T6408, 10W, Lusing) – a strong typhoon which struck central Luzon, causing widespread flooding.
Typhoon Wendy (1968) (T6812, 16W, Lusing) – an intense typhoon that weakened before affecting northern Philippines, Taiwan and South China.
Tropical Depression Lusing (1972) – a tropical depression only recognized by PAGASA and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).
Severe Tropical Storm Violet (1976) (T7610, 10W, Lusing) – a fairly strong tropical storm which hit Hainan, claiming 2 lives.
Typhoon Ida (1980) (T8007, 08W, Lusing) – a system which was only considered by the JTWC as a tropical storm and passed south of Taiwan before making landfall in mainland China.
Tropical Depression 12W (1984) (12W, Lusing) – short-lived tropical depression which remained at sea.
Tropical Storm Jeff (1988) (T8820, 16W, Lusing) – a tropical storm which affected no land areas.
Typhoon Omar (1992) (T9215, 15W, Lusing) – the strongest and costliest typhoon to make landfall in Guam in 16 years; also affected the Philippines, Taiwan and East China, causing a total of 15 fatalities.
Typhoon Niki (1996) (T9613, 18W, Lusing) – a relatively powerful typhoon that crossed the Philippines, Hainan and northern Vietnam in mid-August 1996.
Typhoon Prapiroon (2000) (T0012, 20W, Lusing) – a relatively minimal typhoon which caused 75 fatalities and incurred more than $6 billion USD in damages, becoming the costliest to impact the Korean Peninsula.

After the 2000 Pacific typhoon season, the PAGASA revised their naming lists, and the name Lusing was excluded.

The 2005 Pacific typhoon season was the least active typhoon season since 2000, producing 23 named storms, of which 13 became typhoons. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season ran throughout 2005, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Kulap, developed on January 13, while the season's last named storm, Bolaven, dissipated on November 20. The season's first typhoon, Haitang, reached typhoon status on July 13, and became the first super typhoon of the year three days later.

The 2006 Pacific typhoon season was a destructive and deadly season, although it was near-average in terms of activity with a total of 23 named storms, 15 typhoons, and six super typhoons. Compared to the previous season, more typhoons inflicted damage across several countries, particularly China and the Philippines, some of which made landfall at higher intensities. The ratio of intense typhoons to all typhoons is at 0.73, the highest since 1970.

This timeline documents all of the events of the 2005 Pacific typhoon season, the period that tropical cyclones formed in the Western Pacific Ocean during the year. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator between 100°E and the International Date Line. Tropical depressions that form in the basin were given a number with a "W" suffix by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). If a depression intensified into a tropical storm, it would be assigned a name by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). In addition, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigned names to tropical cyclones which were in their area of responsibility.

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.

Super Typhoon Kent, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Gening, was a powerful Category 4-equivalent typhoon that formed in late August during the 1995 Pacific typhoon season.

The 2018 Pacific typhoon season was at the time, the costliest Pacific typhoon season on record, until the record was beaten by the following year. The season was well above-average, producing twenty-nine storms, thirteen typhoons, seven super typhoons and six Category 5 tropical cyclones. The season ran throughout 2018, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Bolaven, developed on January 3, while the season's last named storm, Man-yi, dissipated on November 28. The season's first typhoon, Jelawat, reached typhoon status on March 29, and became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day.

The 2022 Pacific typhoon season was the third consecutive season to have below average tropical cyclone activity, with twenty-five named storms forming. Of the tropical storms, ten became typhoons, and three would intensify into super typhoons. The season saw near-average activity by named storm count, although many of the storms were weak and short-lived, particularly towards the end of the season. This low activity was caused by an unusually strong La Niña that had persisted from 2020. The season's first named storm, Malakas, developed on April 6, while the last named storm, Pakhar, dissipated on December 12. The season's first typhoon, Malakas, reached typhoon status on April 12. The season ran throughout 2022, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. Tropical storms Megi and Nalgae were responsible for more than half of the casualties, while typhoons Hinnamnor and Nanmadol both caused $1 billion in damages.
