The 2025 Pacific typhoon season was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation in the western Pacific Ocean. It is the earliest starting Pacific typhoon season on record as well as the deadliest since 1975, and the costliest Pacific typhoon season on record. This season was a hyperactive and destructive season, with the year seeing 50 tropical storms. The season runs throughout 2025, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Wutip, developed on January 1, and eventually intensified into the first typhoon of the season.
The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean to the north of the equator between 100°E and 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones which can often result in a cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) will name a tropical cyclone if it has 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 65 km/h (40 mph) anywhere in the basin. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N–25°N, regardless of whether or not a tropical cyclone has already been given a name by the JMA. Tropical depressions that are monitored by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) are given a number with a "W" suffix; W meaning west, a reference to the western Pacific region.
