List of storms named Sisang

Last updated September 03, 2024

The name Sisang was used for seven 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 Storm Phyllis (1963) (T6322, 41W, Sisang) – a tropical storm which crossed the Philippines and was considered by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) as a low-end typhoon.
Typhoon Nora (1967) (T6721, 24W, Sisang) – a minimal typhoon which affected the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan and East China.
Typhoon Nadine (1971) (T7118, 18W, Sisang) – a strong, Category 5-equivalent super typhoon that hit southern Taiwan and East China.
Tropical Depression 24W (1975) (24W, Sisang) – a late-season tropical depression which skirted the central Philippines.
Typhoon Sarah (1979) (T7919, 22W, Sisang-Uring) – an erratic typhoon that affected the Philippines and Vietnam.
Tropical Storm Lex (1983) (T8316, 17W, Sisang) – a severe tropical storm considered by the JTWC as a Category 1 typhoon which claimed the lives of at least 200 fishermen in Vietnam.
Typhoon Nina (1987) (T8722, 22W, Sisang) – a violent, Category 5-equivalent super typhoon which devastated southern Luzon, killing 979 people in the process.

Due to the widespread destruction caused by the 1987 storm, the name Sisang was retired after the 1987 season and replaced by Sendang .

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.

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 1997 Pacific typhoon season was a record-breaking season featuring 11 tropical cyclones reaching super typhoon intensity, tying the record with 1965 with the most violent tropical cyclones globally. It has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1997, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.

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 1980 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly-below average season when compared to the long-term average, though it featured several intense storms. It ran year-round in 1980, but most tropical cyclones formed between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. A total of 28 tropical depressions formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which 24 became tropical storms and were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Beginning in March, tropical cyclones formed in each subsequent month through December. Of the 24 named storms, 15 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 2 reached super typhoon strength.
