2019 Pacific typhoon season (Sassmaster/Layten)

The 2019 Pacific typhoon season was an annual event of tropical cyclone formation during which tropical cyclones known as "typhoons" form in the Western Pacific Basin. The activity continued nearly year-round due to an El Niño, a phenomenon in which favorable conditions are produced across the Pacific basin, leading to the formation of intense and potentially devastating storms, and most developed between May through October.
