List of Philippine typhoons

The Philippines is a typhoon-prone country, with approximately twenty tropical cyclones entering its area of responsibility per year.

[5] Typhoons typically make an east-to-west route in the country, heading north or west due to the Coriolis effect.

Climate change is likely to worsen the situation, with extreme weather events including typhoons posing various risks and threats to the Philippines.

According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) in 2016, the number of destructive typhoons the country experienced annually have increased, but notes that it is too early to call it a trend.

Additionally, each province and local government units has their own Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO).

Each provincial and local government is required to set aside 5% of its annual budget for disaster risk reduction, preparations, and response.

[5] Bagyo (sometimes spelled bagyu or bagyio[3]) is the word for 'typhoon' or 'storm' in most Philippine languages, including Tagalog, Visayan, Ilocano, Bicolano, Hanunó'o, Aklanon, Pangasinan and Kapampangan.

Cognates in other Austronesian languages include Sama baliw ('wind'), Amis faliyos or farios ('typhoon'); Saisiyat balosh ('typhoon'), Babuza bayus ('storm'), Puyuma variw, Bintulu bauy ('wind'), Kelabit bariw ('storm wind'), and Chamorro pakyo ('typhoon').

The Bureau continued to monitor typhoons until the agency's abolition in 1972, after which its duties were transferred to the newly established PAGASA.

The new scheme largely uses terms for local features of the contributing nation, such as animals, plants, foods and adjectives in the native language.

Currently, the JMA and PAGASA each assign names to typhoons that form within or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

In the case of both weather agencies, names are retired after a typhoon that carried it caused severe or costly damage and loss of life.

Conversely, as a tropical cyclone weakens and/or gets farther to an area, it may be downgraded to a lower signal or may be lifted altogether.

A tropical cyclone assumably impacted Northern Luzon in July 1911, in which a record-breaking precipitation level was seen in Baguio, with 2,210 mm (87 in) of rainfall being dumped by the storm.

Typhoon Yunya (Diding) in June 1991 struck Luzon at the time of the colossal eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

The Philippines is reeling from Typhoon Man-yi, which displaced hundreds of thousands, caused widespread destruction, and worsened the impact of recent storms, leaving millions in urgent need of aid and recovery support.
