2023 Pacific Typhoon Season (AGCK)

The 2023 Pacific typhoon season was an annual event of tropical cyclone formation during which tropical cyclones known as "typhoons" form in the Western Pacific Basin. Activity was extremely limited this year, with only four super typhoons forming, and only two category 5 super typhoons forming. Most storms made landfall, with one minimal typhoon making landfall in Singapore. The scope of this article is limited 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 should it be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 65 km/h (40 mph) anywhere in the basin, whilst the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (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 (JTWC) are given a number with a "W" suffix.

Season Summary
This season was a super inactive typhoon season, with the first storm forming on May 4th, 2023, Krovanh being a severe tropical storm that impacted the northern Philippines. Then, Dujuan formed and stayed out to sea. All storms did not make landfall until Koppu, which made landfall in China.

The most notable storms of the season, however, were Omais and Mindulle, with only Omais making landfall in North Korea surprisingly near peak intensity, causing major damages in North Korea and parts of China.
