The 2020 Pacific typhoon season is an upcoming event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season runs throughout 2020, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. 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&amp;nbsp; (JMA) will name a tropical cyclone should it be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 65&amp;nbsp;km/h (40&amp;nbsp;mph) anywhere in the basin, whilst the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration&amp;nbsp; (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility 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&amp;nbsp; (JTWC) are given a number with a "W" suffix.
