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.

Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

It tracked generally westward, reaching tropical storm status on the 13th while remaining poorly organized.

After returning to a westward movement Olga, despite unfavorable wind shear, strengthened to a typhoon on the 20th.

On the 18th and 19th, Pamela rapidly intensified to a 150 mph (240 km/h) super typhoon, and slowly weakened as it continued its northwest movement.

Before Typhoon Pamela hit Guam, ten people died in a landslide in Truk (Chuuk) from its heavy rains.

It crossed the island, weakening to a tropical storm before turning to the northeast in the South China Sea.

The storm was a Category 4 typhoon with 130 miles per hour of 1-minute sustained wind and 925 millibars of central pressure which did not threaten land.

The storm was a Category 4 typhoon at peak, with 1-minute sustained winds of up to 155 miles per hour and a central pressure of 905 millibars.

Western North Pacific tropical cyclones were named by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility.

This table will list all the storms that developed in the northwestern Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line and north of the equator during 1976.

It will include their intensity, duration, name, areas affected, deaths, missing persons (in parentheses), and damage totals.

Classification and intensity values will be based on estimations conducted by the JMA, however due to lack of information around this time sustained winds were recorded by the JTWC.
