1951 Pacific typhoon season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1951 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1951, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the international date line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1951 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the North Pacific Typhoon Warning Service.
