Tropical cyclones in 2018
Tropical cyclones in 2018 were spread out across seven different areas called basins. Currently, 120 tropical cyclones have formed year to date. 84 tropical cyclones have been named by either a Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC).
Tropical cyclone activity in each basin is under the authority of a RSMC. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is responsible for tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic and East Pacific. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) is responsible for tropical cyclones in the Central Pacific. Both the NHC and CPHC are subdivisions of the National Weather Service. Activity in the West Pacific is monitored by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Systems in the North Indian Ocean are monitored by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The Météo-France located in Réunion (MFR) monitors tropical activity in the South-West Indian Ocean. The Australian region is monitored by five TCWCs that are under the coordination of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). Similarly, the South Pacific is monitored by both the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) and the Meteorological Service of New Zealand Limited. Other, unofficial agencies that provide additional guidance in tropical cyclone monitoring include the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).

North Atlantic Ocean
In the North Atlantic Ocean, atmospheric and hydrological conditions were generally unfavorable for tropical cyclogenesis. In the tropical Atlantic, sea surface temperatures were cooler than average, characteristic of a negative phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO).[1] Additionally, high quantities of Saharan dust along with stronger than average upper-level wind shear over the tropical Atlantic created an unfavorable atmospheric environment. Despite the unfavorable conditions present, activity in the tropical Atlantic was plentiful, with Hurricanes Beryl,[2] Florence,[3] Helene,[4] and Isaac[5] developing in the region. On the contrary, conditions in the subtropical Atlantic were more conducive to tropical cyclone formation, with sea surface temperatures being warmer than average. 6 tropical cyclones; Beryl,[6] Chris,[7] Debby,[8] Ernesto,[9] and Joyce[10] and Leslie[11] developed or reformed in the subtropical Atlantic.
Strongest storms
The most intense worldwide of the years is Typhoon Mangkhut from Western Pacific, with 905 hPa (26.72 inHg) preliminary total.

Summary
Systems
January
The month of January had eleven systems form with two developing into strong systems. In the middle of the month, Cyclone Berguitta made landfall in Mauritius and Réunion, causing millions in damages and a fatality. The only system to cause significant damage was Tropical Cyclone Fehi which caused tens of millions in damages when it brought severe flooding to New Zealand in late January.

February
The month of February was inactive, with only six tropical cyclones forming. However, Cyclone Gita became the most intense tropical cyclone to affect Tonga since records began. Gita was also one of the worst tropical cyclones to affect the island nation, causing significant agricultural and structural damages totalling in the hundreds of millions as well as a couple fatalities. Cyclone Sanba was a system that made landfall in the Caroline Islands and the Philippines, resulting in a few million in damage and over a dozen fatalities. Cyclone Kelvin was unusual in that it maintained a healthy structure over land through a process known as the brown ocean effect, leading to tens of millions in damages.
