five seasons=1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991The 1989 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1989, but mosttropical cyclones tend to form in the northwesternPacific Ocean between May and November. [Gary Padgett. [http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt May 2003 Tropical Cyclone Summary.] Retrieved2006-08-26 .] These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwesternPacific Ocean .Overview
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; see1989 Pacific hurricane season . Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by theJoint 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 thePhilippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.torms
35 tropical cyclones formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which 31 became tropical storms. 21 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 6 reached super typhoon strength.

The day after Brenda dissipated another tropical depression formed in theSouth China Sea from the monsoon trough. It became a tropical storm later on the 22nd, and reached typhoon strength on the 24th. Cecil initially tracked to the northwest, but ridging to the north forced the typhoon westward where it hit centralVietnam on the 24th. Cecil rapidly dissipated, but not after bringing heavy flooding that killed 52 and left over 100,000 homeless. [Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

It tracked westward with a cold core upper level low aloft, a very unusual circumstance. Initially forecast to remain weak due to the lack of upper level outflow, it was able to strengthen into a tropical storm on the 12th. The cold low quickly warmed, and Gordon became a typhoon on the 13th.

hurricane season=1989 Pacific typhoon seasonThe monsoon trough spawned a tropical depression onJuly 29 . Poorly organized, it moved quickly northeastward and became a tropical storm on the 30th. Operationally, Tropical Storm Ken continued northeastward with the rest of the convection, with Tropical Storm Lola forming further westward, but the ill-defined circulation actually continued westward, leading to one storm with two names. Ken-Lola turned to the southwest, stalling before heading northwest again.
