August 2026 • Northwestern Pacific Typhoon Season: Outlook & Operational Impact

The Northwestern Pacific Typhoon Season is entering its most active period, with forecasts indicating above-normal activity and substantially elevated cyclone energy. This increases the potential for stronger, longer-lived storms through the seasonal peak.

El Niño conditions are also influencing storm tracks, increasing relative exposure for Japan and South Korea, while Taiwan, eastern China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands remain exposed. Potential impacts include damaging winds, flooding, power outages, and transport disruption.

Early-season activity has reinforced this outlook, with three Category 5 typhoons already recorded and multiple storms affecting several countries
