five seasons=1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995The 1993 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1993, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. [Gary Padgett. [http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt May 2003 Tropical Cyclone Summary.] Retrieved 2006-08-26.] 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 1993 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.

37 tropical cyclones formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which 29 became tropical storms. 20 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 3 reached super typhoon strength. [https://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1993atcr/pdf/1993.html 1993 ATCR TABLE OF CONTENTS ] ]

Dissipated=June 28
1-min winds=130
Pressure=910Typhoon Koryn, having developed well east of the Philippines on June 13, steadily strengthened as it moved westward, intensifying to a peak of convert|150|mi/h|km/h|-1|abbr=on winds on the 24th.

Koryn slowly wound down, bringing heavy rain through China and northern Vietnam before dissipating on the 28th.

It weakened to a convert|100|mi/h|km/h|-2|abbr=on typhoon before hitting southwestern Japan on the 9th, and became extratropical on the 11th over the Sea of Japan.

Typhoon Lola (Monang)

Infobox Hurricane Small
Basin=WPac
Track=Lola 1993 track.pngFormed=December 1
Dissipated=December 9
1-min winds=105
Pressure=938The near equatorial trough spawned a tropical depression on November 27. It moved westward without significant development until December 2, when it became a tropical storm. Lola became a typhoon 2 days later, and hit the Philippines on the 5th. It weakened to a tropical storm after crossing the islands, but restrengthened to a convert|120|mi/h|km/h|-1|abbr=on typhoon before hitting southern Vietnam on the 8th. Lola quickly dissipated, not after causing 308 fatalities, 230 of which were in the Philippines from the heavy rains.

Typhoon Manny (Naning)

Infobox Hurricane Small
Basin=WPac
Track=Manny 1993 track.pngFormed=December 3
Dissipated=December 16
1-min winds=120
Pressure=922Manny, like Lola, developed from the near equatorial trough on December 1. It headed westward, slowly strengthening to a tropical storm on the 4th. Due to a ridge to the north, it looped on the 7th and 8th and became a typhoon on the way. While heading southwestward towards the Philippines, Manny rapidly intensified to a convert|140|mi/h|km/h|-1|abbr=on typhoon before hitting the Philippines late on the 9th. It weakened over the islands, and upper level winds kept it from restrengthening much over the South China Sea. Manny dissipated on the 16th over the Malay Peninsula, after causing 230 deaths, only one week after Lola hit the same area. Manny's track was unusual, given its time of year with a loop and a strengthening period to the southwest. However, it has a near perfect analog; Typhoon Pamela in the 1982 Pacific typhoon season took a nearly identical track within days of Manny (though Pamela was much weaker than Manny).

Typhoon Nell
