Storms are
named for historical reasons to avoid confusion when communicating with the public, as more than one storm can exist at a time. Names are drawn in order from predetermined lists. For tropical cyclones, names are assigned when a system has one-, three-, or ten-minute winds of more than 65 km/h (40 mph). Standards, however, vary from
basin to basin. For example, some tropical depressions are named in the Western Pacific, while within the Australian and Southern Pacific regions, the naming of tropical cyclones are delayed until they have gale-force winds occurring more than halfway around the
storm center.
1992 – a tropical storm that remained over the open western Pacific Ocean.
1995 – a Category 4 equivalent typhoon that struck the Philippines and Vietnam, killing 110 people; also known as Pepang within the
Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
1994 – Category 4 super typhoon that passed over the
Northern Mariana Islands during its circuitous track through the western Pacific Ocean; also known as Esang within the PAR.
1997 – was a short-lived tropical cyclone that killed seven people in southern China, and caused damage in both Chia and Vietnam, where there was additional loss of life; also known as Luming within the PAR>
1974 – a severe tropical cyclone that moved along the coast of Queensland.
2002† – a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone, and one of the strongest South Pacific tropical cyclones on record in terms atmospheric pressure, that affected the Solomon Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Rotuma.
