JTWC later followed suit and upgraded into a tropical depression, ''08W''. On August 13, the depression became a tropical storm, receiving the name ''Ampil'' from the JMA. Ampil gradually intensified in the Pacific Ocean, becoming a severe tropical storm. JMA upgraded Ampil into a typhoon two days later, and the JTWC classified it as a Category 2-equivalent typhoon. The next day, it strengthened into a Category 4-equivalent typhoon. The typhoon passed just south of

. The disturbance was in an environment with low to moderate wind shear and warm SSTs. JTWC later classified the disturbance into a depression the next day, giving the designation ''06W''. Early on August 8, JMA upgraded the depression into a storm, naming it ''Maria''. The storm further strengthened into a severe tropical storm on the same day. At the same time, JTWC reported that Maria had rapidly intensified into a typhoon due to strong equatorward and poleward outflow. However, on August 9, Maria weakened into a tropical storm as it moved northeastwards. On August 10, another area of low pressure formed just southeast of Maria. The JTWC would classify the disturbance as a subtropical depression in their next bulletin. Despite being in a marginal environment and high wind shear, JMA upgraded into a tropical storm, assigning the name ''Son-Tinh''. The next day, JTWC announced that Son-Tinh became tropical, designating it as ''07W''. Son-Tinh weakened back into a depression before it dissipated on August 14. On the morning of August 12, Maria made landfall in

as a tropical storm, bringing strong winds and dumping heavy rains in northern Japan. Maria then weakened into a depression after moving inland. The storm entered through the Sea of Japan, weakening further the next day. The JTWC issued its final warning after Maria was last noted west-northwest of Misawa, Japan. JMA continued to track as a depression before they issued their final warning at 04:15 UTC. Activity became more active when an area of convection was formed on August 12 near the southwest of a nearby storm Son-Tinh. JMA would immediately recognize the disturbance as a depression. The next day, JTWC went to give its identifier of the depression, which was ''Tropical Depression 09W''. Just like Ampil, on August 13, 09W intensified into a tropical storm, attaining the name ''Wukong'' from the JMA. Wukong was short-lived due to its poorly organized cloud tops. JTWC made its final warning on Wukong as it moved through cooler waters and dissipated on August 15. On August 17, JMA recognized a tropical depression that formed east of Taiwan. The next day, PAGASA declared the system a tropical depression, assigning the name ''Dindo''. The depression was named ''Jongdari'' three hours later upon formation. JTWC later followed suit and upgraded into a tropical storm, with the designation of ''10W''. However, it did not last long and weakened into a depression as it nears the

and Quang Ninh in Vietnam. Upon landfall, Yagi became the strongest storm to impact Northern Vietnam. The typhoon then weakened rapidly into a remnant low as it moved inland, dissipating on September 8. Even after dissipation, it still wreaked havoc, bringing heavy floods to Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. While Yagi was on its way to making landfall in the Philippines, JTWC announced another formation of a tropical disturbance in the open Pacific Ocean on September 2. JMA also started issuing advisories, and it was recognized as a tropical depression in the same location. Two days later, as JTWC upgraded it into a depression, it received its designation as ''13W''. A day later, JMA reported that 13W developed into a tropical storm, giving the name ''Leepi'' as the twelfth named storm of this season. Leepi then accelerated northeastwards before it became an extratropical cyclone on September 6. On September 9, a tropical depression formed over the Micronesian Islands. The following day, the JTWC designated it as ''14W''. As it moved over Guam, 14W intensified into a tropical storm and was named ''Bebinca'' by the JMA. Despite encountering dry air, Bebinca strengthened as it began its northwestward movement. At 18:00 PHT on September 13, Bebinca entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility and was named ''Ferdie'' by PAGASA. Bebinca later strengthened into a minimal typhoon on the next day. On September 16, Bebinca made landfall in

. As Bebinca moved toward eastern China, two tropical depressions formed in the Pacific on September 15—one near Guam and another within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). The JTWC designated the depression near Guam as ''15W''. It soon intensified into a tropical storm and was named ''Pulasan'' by the JMA. The PAR tropical depression was given the name ''Gener'' by PAGASA. At 02:00 PHT the following day, Gener landed over

. The storm continued to move westward over Northern Luzon, maintaining its strength as a depression. Meanwhile, Pulasan briefly entered the PAR at 18:30 PHT (10:30 UTC) and was assigned the name ''Helen''. On September 18, two disturbances in the South China Sea near 98W and 99W were expected to merge and strengthen at 98W, closer to Vietnam. Shortly after, Gener was upgraded by the JTWC into a tropical depression, getting the designation ''16W''. On September 19, 16W was upgraded to a tropical storm and named ''Soulik'' by the JMA. Soulik made landfall over Vĩnh Linh District,

After that, it made a second landfall over Shanghai, marking the first time since reliable meteorological records exist that two typhoons make landfall over Shanghai with only two days in between. On September 20, a low-pressure area formed over Northern Luzon. The JTWC later designated the disturbance as ''Invest 90W'' upon its formation. Being inside the PAR, PAGASA initiated advisories and named the system ''Igme''. The JTWC soon upgraded it into a tropical depression, designating it as ''17W''. Igme later curved southwestwards, passing closely to

Following, on September 24, a tropical depression formed in the Pacific south of Japan. That day, JTWC designated the system as ''18W''. The following day, the JMA upgraded the depression into a tropical storm, earning the name ''Cimaron''. The storm moved southwestwards, maintaining its intensity. As it moved westwards, Cimaron weakened into a tropical depression as an unfavorable environment hindered any intensification. Cimaron later dissipated on September 27. Shortly later the same day, another low-pressure area formed near the

. Despite being in a marginal environment, the disturbance managed to be organized and designated as ''19W'' by the JTWC. On September 27, the JMA upgraded 19W into a tropical storm, naming it ''Jebi''. At first, Jebi struggled to organize due to the presence of moderate low-level windshear, causing to downgrade Jebi as a depression. However, Jebi redeveloped back into a tropical storm after. The storm continued to organize until it further intensified into a Category-1 typhoon by the JTWC, while JMA only reached the intensity of a severe tropical storm. Jebi later transitioned to an extratropical cyclone, causing both agencies to issue their final warning on October 2. Shortly after Cimaron weakened into a depression, an area of low pressure formed in the Philippine Sea near extreme Northern Luzon on September 26, PAGASA shortly issued bulletins regarding the disturbance and was named ''Julian'' as it developed into a depression. The following day, the JTWC designated Julian as ''20W'', upgrading it into a tropical depression. On September 28, the JMA upgraded 20W into a tropical storm, naming it ''Krathon'', a replacement name for Mangkhut. It then intensified into a Category-1 typhoon, heading towards Sabtang, Batanes. Shortly after, the typhoon began its

Late season activity

On October 5, a tropical depression formed near Guam. The following day, the JTWC designated it as ''21W''. Despite moving through warm waters, high wind shear hindered any further development, causing it to weaken back into a disturbance. On October 8, the JTWC issued its final warning, with dissipation expected in the next 12 hours. The next day, 21W intensified into a tropical storm, receiving the name ''Barijat'' from the JMA. Later in the day, JTWC reissued advisories on Barijat and strengthened into a tropical storm. However, both agencies later made their final warning for the last time as the storm dissipated on October 11. On October 19, a tropical depression formed nearby

. The next day, it was assigned as ''22W'' by the JTWC, acknowledged as a tropical depression. Then, it moved into the PAR and was named ''Kristine'' by PAGASA. Soon after, the JMA upgraded it to tropical storm status and was given the name ''Trami.'' Many parts of the Philippines were issued wind storm signals prior to its approach to the country. On October 23, Trami later strengthened into a severe tropical storm, causing some northern and central Luzon areas to upgrade to Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 3. At 04:30 UTC the next day, Trami made landfall over the province of

Trami continued crossing the South China Sea, maintaining severe tropical storm strength. Trami later encountered strong easterly vertical wind shear as it approached the coast of Vietnam. The storm later made another landfall in

at 10 AM local time on October 27. Trami then moved southwestwards due to weak steering flow before making a U-turn over the coastal regions of Vietnam. Trami later weakened into a low-pressure area before the agencies made its last warning on October 29. As Trami crossed through the Cordilleras, another tropical disturbance was formed southeast of Guam on October 24. JMA began to track the system thereafter as a tropical depression, with a gale warning also being issued. The next day, JMA upgraded the disturbance into a tropical storm, assigning the name ''Kong-rey''. Since another disturbance was formed as ''Invest 99W'' on the northern side, the JTWC canceled warnings on the southern side, designated as ''98W'' and issued Kong-rey at ''99W'', located in the north side. Kong-rey was later designated as ''Tropical Depression 23W'' by the JTWC. The storm entered PAR, receiving the local name ''Leon''. On October 29, Kong-rey started undergoing rapid intensification and became a Category-4 super typhoon the following day. With that, Kong-rey achieved a peak intensify of 1-minute sustained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph) and a central

, causing both agencies to cease advisories on November 1. Just after Kong-rey transitioned to a post-tropical cyclone, an area of low pressure was formed near Palau on November 1. However, JTWC discontinued issuing advisories as unfavorable conditions hindered the development. Two days later, JTWC reissued advisories as signs of organization of the disturbance continued to form. At 14:00 UTC, the JTWC along with JMA upgraded the system to a tropical depression, assigning it the designation Tropical Depression ''24W''. Later at 18:00 UTC of November 3, 24W intensified into a tropical storm, gaining the name ''Yinxing'' by the JMA. Yinxing would enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility, receiving the name ''Marce'' by PAGASA. The storm would continue to intensify over the Philippine Sea until the agencies were prompted to classify as a typhoon on the following day. It then reached its peak intensity of a Category-4 typhoon, with 1-minute sustained winds of 230 km/h (145 mph) and a central pressure of 940 hPa (27.76 inHg).

on the following day, designated as ''Invest 93W''. The low pressure was also located in a favorable development and low vertical wind shear, causing to issue of a TCFA regarding the disturbance. Hours later, 93W became a tropical depression, giving the identifier ''25W''. The JTWC also upgraded Nika into a depression, designated as ''26W''. Later that day, both depressions strengthened into tropical storms and were named ''Toraji'' for 26W and ''Man-yi'' for 25W by the JMA. On November 10, Toraji further intensified into a severe tropical storm by the JMA, while JTWC automatically upgraded the system into a Category-1 typhoon as the outer bands of the system continues to tighten up. JMA later followed suit and granted Toraji to intensify into a minimal typhoon before it struck the province of

. The following day the JMA issued a warning on the system. On November 11, the JTWC upgraded it into a tropical depression, designating it as ''27W''. In early morning the next day, 27W strengthened into a tropical storm, prompting the JMA to name it ''Usagi''. This marks the first time in this basin since reliable meteorological records that four active systems existed simultaneously in November. Meanwhile, Usagi entered Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), getting the name ''Ofel'' from PAGASA. Usagi continued to strengthen until it underwent rapid intensification, prompting it to upgrade into a Category-4 super typhoon on November 14. At 1:30 PM PHT (05:30 UTC) of the same day, the storm made landfall over

. Usagi later weakened as the eye began to disappear after having land interaction with the mountains. Upon giving the name Usagi as 27W, the Northwest Pacific witnessed a historical rarity on November 12, witnessing double typhoons in the South China Sea for the first time since 1992 by Angela and four storms simultaneously active in November since records began in 1951 and the basin for the first time since 1970. Meanwhile, after Man-yi maintained tropical storm strength for five days, JMA upgraded it into a severe tropical storm as it moved into a more favorable environment. At 20:00 PHT (12:00 UTC) on November 14, Man-yi briefly entered PAR, gaining the name ''Pepito'' by PAGASA. Early November 16, Man-yi peaked as a super typhoon, with estimated 1-minute maximum sustained winds of 260 km/h (160 mph) and a central pressure of 920 hPa (27.17 inHg). At 9:40 PM PHT (05:40 UTC) of the same day, Man-yi made its first landfall over the province of

, packing strong winds and heavy rains all over the area. The following day, Man-yi made its second landfall in Dipaculao, Aurora, on Luzon Island at around 3:20 PM PHT (07:20 UTC). The Sierra Madre mountain range caused the eye of the typhoon to close as it rapidly moved inland. Man-yi later accelerated northwestward over the South China Sea, weakening into a severe tropical storm. It then continued to deteriorate as it moved through increased vertical wind shear. JTWC issued its final warning on Man-yi on November 19 as the system weakened to a tropical depression, while the JMA continued to monitor it until it was last noted at 06:00 UTC on the following day. After weeks of inactivity, on December 17, a low-pressure area was formed southeast of Mindanao. The next day, the disturbance entered PAR, where it became a depression. It was later given the local name ''Querubin'' by PAGASA, the replacement name for Quinta. Although in a favorable environment, Querubin struggled to organize itself due to its movement, which tried to move closely inland, hindering its development. With JTWC, the TCFA was initiated twice, citing a high chance of development, however, as it crossed between Visayas and Mindanao, PAGASA issued its final warning for Querubin on December 18 as it downgraded into a well-marked disturbance. JTWC continued to monitor Querubin despite being downgraded to low chance, but it eventually ceased bulletins the next day after the agency last noted as a disturbance. The last tropical cyclone of 2024 developed on December 20 over northeast Malaysia, designated as ''98W''. The low-pressure area had brought gusty conditions to

Tropical Storm Son-Tinh

On August 10, the JMA noted that a tropical depression had formed southeast of Severe Tropical Storm Maria. A few hours later, the JTWC began tracking the system, noting that it could transition into a tropical cyclone despite intense wind shear. Early the next day, they noted that the depression had transitioned into a subtropical cyclone. As a result, a few hours later, the JMA named it '' Son-Tinh''. The next day, the JTWC noted that it had transitioned into a tropical storm, designating it ''07W''. Soon after, the low-level circulation center became fully exposed with no deep convection existing near the center. On August 13, Son-Tinh turned northwest along the western edge of a subtropical ridge. Both the JMA and the JTWC stopped monitoring it as a tropical depression that day, though the JMA continued to track it until it was last noted the following day.

Tropical Storm Wukong

On 12 August, the JMA noted that a tropical depression formed southwest of Tropical Storm Son-Tinh. A few hours later, strong convection south of the system's low-level circulation center consolidated, which prompted the JTWC to issue a TCFA for the disturbance. Soon after, they recognized the system as a tropical depression, designating it as ''09W''. Satellite imagery revealed that a central dense overcast obscured the center, leading to the depression strengthening into a tropical storm named ''Wukong'' by the JMA, although moderate vertical wind shear displaced the deep convection to the southeast. Wukong then shifted northwestward, following the eastern edge of a subtropical ridge, while also being affected by the shear and outflow from Typhoon Ampil to the southwest. On August 15, both the JMA and the JTWC ceased monitoring the system, with the JMA reporting that Wukong had transitioned into an extratropical low due to moderate vertical wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures.


Tropical Storm Jongdari (Dindo)

On August 17, a low-pressure area east of Taiwan developed into a tropical depression. Soon after the development of a low-level circulation center and deep convection, the JTWC issued a TCFA for the disturbance. A few hours later, PAGASA declared the system a tropical depression and named it ''Dindo'', while the JMA reported it had intensified into a tropical storm and named it ''Jongdari'', and the following day, the JTWC recognized it and designated it as ''10W''. Jongdari became devoid of convection as it was displaced from its exposed low-level circulation center and turned north-northeastward along the western edge of a subtropical ridge. Jongdari then weakened as it moved into the

, designated as ''18W'' by the JTWC later that same day. The following day, 18W was upgraded by the JMA to become a tropical storm, thereby earning the name ''Cimaron''. JTWC later followed suit and upgraded into a storm as it moved westward. Cimaron later moved northeastward, with the presence of moderate and high shear, which caused a weakening of a tropical depression. The environmental analysis also depicted that Cimaron is in an unfavorable environment, characterized by moderate poleward outflow and the presence of dry air. At the latter part of September 27, JTWC reported that Cimaron became a remnant low due to its increasing vertical wind shear, resulted of eroding of the low-level circulation center (LLCC). The agency made its final warning as it absorbed within the frontal boundary. The JMA downgraded the system to a low-pressure area on 18:00 UTC of the same day.

On September 26, it was classified as ''19W'' by the JTWC as it was in a marginally favorable environment. 19W developed into a tropical storm, thus gaining the name ''Jebi'' by the JMA. Satellite imagery shows that Jebi struggled to organize as moderate low-level wind shear was present. The storm was downgraded back into a depression on September 28. However, Jebi regained tropical storm status for the second time as it moved northeastwards. On October 1, Jebi further strengthened into a Category 1-equivalent typhoon according to the JTWC, while JMA retained severe tropical storm status. Both agencies later issued their final warning the next day, as Jebi became an extratropical cyclone.

Tropical Storm Barijat

A tropical depression formed near Guam on October 5. The following day, the JTWC issued a TCFA on the system and later upgraded it to Tropical Depression ''21W''. With convection flaring and persisting to the east of a partial low-level circulation center, the JTWC upgraded it to a tropical storm on October 7. Despite moving over warm waters, high wind shear further displaced the convection, weakening 21W to a tropical depression a few hours later. On October 8, the JTWC issued its last warning on 21W as it further weakened, with the agency expecting it to dissipate within the next 12 hours. The next day, the JMA upgraded 21W to a tropical storm, naming it ''Barijat''. After a few hours, the JTWC reissued warnings for it. However, Barijat would begin its extratropical transition, prompting the said weather agency to issue its last warning the following day, at 09:00 UTC.


Severe Tropical Storm Trami (Kristine)

On October 17, the JMA reported a low-pressure area located west of Guam. The low-pressure area later moved westward slowly before it was designated as a tropical depression by the JMA. The following day, the JTWC designated the system as ''22W'', as low-level banding wrapped into the circulation center. At 18:00 UTC that day, the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm and named it ''Trami''. At around 06:00 UTC on October 23, the JMA reported that Trami had intensified into a severe tropical storm as it was moving west-northwestward along the southwestern edge of a mid-level subtropical high, At 12:30 AM PHT of October 24 (16:30 UTC on October 23), the storm made landfall in

Six hours later, the JTWC issued a TCFA to Querubin, citing that it will strengthen for the next couple of days. Satellite imagery shows the banding organizing, with Querubin inside a favorable environment. At 11:00 PHT (03:00 UTC) in December 18, PAGASA also placed Signal No. 1 in Surigao del Sur. At 17:00 PHT (09:00 UTC), PAGASA downgraded it to a low pressure area. On 13:00 UTC, JTWC cancelled TCFA for the system. However, the agency reissued it for the second time on 19:30 UTC, citing a high chance of formation of a tropical cyclone. Later that day JTWC cancelled TCFA downgraded it to a low chance before dissipated. Its remnants' energy later re-formed into Pabuk.


Tropical Storm Pabuk (Romina)

On December 20, the JMA reported a low-pressure area located west-southwest of
Brunei Brunei, officially Brunei Darussalam, is a country in Southeast Asia, situated on the northern coast of the island of Borneo. Apart from its coastline on the South China Sea, it is completely surrounded by the Malaysian state of Sarawak, with ...
, which was later upgraded to a tropical depression. At 06:00 UTC the following day, the JTWC issued a TCFA, noting that formative banding was organizing around the circulation and deep convection was building over the center. However, due to its imminent threat to the Kalayaan Islands, PAGASA named the depression ''Romina'', a replacement name for Typhoon Goni, ''Rolly'', even though it was still outside the PAR, at 11:00 PHT (03:00 UTC) on December 22, and began issuing advisories on it. This marked the first time since 1963 that PAGASA named a tropical cyclone outside the PAR. Later that same day, the JTWC assigned the system the designation ''28W'', noting a strong northeast surge was occurring with winds shifting from north-northeasterly to northerly, while ''Invest 98W'', which had formed near the storm, rapidly weakened and was absorbed into the storm's southeastern periphery. Pabuk showed deep convection flaring on the northwestern periphery of a low-level circulation that was mostly exposed. On December 23, PAGASA issued its final advisory on Romina as it moved away from the Kalayaan Islands and lifted the wind signals. On 06:00 UTC, the JMA upgraded the storm to a tropical storm and named it ''Pabuk'', following the observation of a favorable environment as it moved westward along the southern periphery of a mid-level subtropical high. Pabuk moved westward and turned toward Vietnam as it lost its vertical structure, steered by the low-level flow associated with a northeasterly cold surge along the eastern coast of Vietnam. The system was last noted by the JMA on 18:00 UTC of December 25.
