The 1966 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds, 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 1966 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.

torms

39 tropical depressions formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which 30 became tropical storms. 20 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 3 reached super typhoon strength.

It weakened over the island, but re-intensified rapidly to a 140 mph typhoon in the Sibuyan Sea before hitting Mindoro on the 17th. After weakening to a tropical storm, Irma turned northward to hit western Luzon as a 95 mph typhoon on the 19th. It accelerated to the northeast, and became extratropical on the 22nd. In the Philippines Irma killed 82 people. [http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/ Pagasa - Dost - Dost Service Institutes ] ]

hurricane season=1966 Pacific typhoon seasonTyphoon Kit, which formed on June 22, rapidly intensified on the 25th and 26th to a 195 mph Super Typhoon. Such intensity is questionable, because Reconnaissance Aircraft was in its infancy, but Kit was likely a powerful typhoon. It weakened as it moved northward, and passed just east of Honshū, Japan on the 28th as a minimal typhoon. There Kit killed 64 people, with 19 missing.
