List of Philippine typhoons (2000–present)

The Philippines, due to its geographical location in the western Pacific Ocean, is highly susceptible to typhoons. This list documents notable typhoons that have affected the country from the year 2000 to the present day. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of these weather events, including their names, dates of impact, intensity, and significant effects on the Philippine archipelago.

Typhoons are categorized based on the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) classification system, which takes into account the maximum sustained winds near the center of the typhoon. PAGASA assigns local names to typhoons entering or forming within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). These names are recycled every four years, unless a typhoon has caused significant damage and loss of life, in which case its name is retired.

The information presented here typically includes:

  • Typhoon Name (International Name): Both the local (PAGASA) name and the internationally recognized name assigned by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
  • Dates of Impact: The period during which the typhoon directly affected the Philippines, including landfall and periods of heavy rainfall and strong winds.
  • Peak Intensity: The maximum sustained winds (typically measured in kilometers per hour or knots) and minimum central pressure (measured in millibars or hectopascals) attained by the typhoon while within or approaching the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
  • Areas Affected: A summary of the regions and provinces most severely impacted by the typhoon, including specific locations where significant damage occurred.
  • Significant Effects: A description of the major consequences of the typhoon, such as flooding, landslides, infrastructure damage (roads, bridges, power lines), agricultural losses, and human casualties (deaths, injuries, missing persons).
  • Impact Summary: A concise overview of the overall impact, including estimated cost of damages and number of people affected or displaced.

This list is intended to be a continuously updated record, reflecting the ongoing threat of typhoons to the Philippines. Information is compiled from PAGASA reports, news articles, disaster relief agency data, and other credible sources. Due to the evolving nature of information following a typhoon, some details may be subject to change as more data becomes available. The inclusion criteria for a typhoon on this list are based on its significant impact, either in terms of widespread damage, high casualty count, or substantial disruption to daily life.
