The 2000 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 2000, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.[1] 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 2000 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin are assigned a name by the Tokyo Typhoon 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.

Typhoon Damrey, which formed on May 3, rapidly intensified on the 8th and 9th to a 180 mph super typhoon with a minimum central pressure of 878 millibars. It continued to the northeast, and vertical shear caused it to dissipate on the 12th. Damrey was the strongest typhoon of the season, and the strongest May typhoon since Typhoon Phyllis in 1958. It had no effect on any populated areas.

[edit] Tropical Depression
From WikiPilipinas, the free encyclopedia
A vortex in an active trough over the South China Sea developed into a midget tropical depression on June 18, 35 km south-southwest of Hong Kong. It moved northward and made landfall that day, with its very small circulation being well captured by the Observatory's network of automatic weather stations. The depression brought light rain to Hong Kong and moderate winds. Although this tropical depression was widely recognised by Asian agencies, there are still disputes on the nature of this system. It had an unusually small size and formed surprisingly close to land.
Using the pressure-wind relation for midget tropical cyclones proposed by JTWC, the system had a 1-minute maximum sustained winds of about 90 km/h, equivalent to a tropical storm.
[edit] Typhoon Kirogi (Ditang)
[edit] Typhoon Kai-Tak (Edeng)
A tropical depression that developed on July 3 in the South China Sea drifted northward, becoming a storm on the 5th and a typhoon on the 6th. Kai-Tak continued northward, hitting Taiwan on the 9th. Kai-Tak dissipated on the 11th over the Yellow Sea, after causing torrential flooding resulting in 188 fatalities. It was named after Hong Kong's old international airport, Kai Tak Airport.

A tropical wave organized into Tropical Depression One-C on July 20. It strengthened slowly and moved nearly due west. After reaching storm strength on July 21, it was named Upana, which is Hawaiian for "Urban". Despite a favourable environment, Upana never strengthened much, and it dissipated on July 23 for unexplained reasons. Upana's remnants continued moving to the west, and crossed the dateline. Upana is the first storm in the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of responsibility to be named in July.
The remnants of Upana encountered a favourable environment just west of the dateline, and they formed Tropical Depression 12W. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Chanchu. The name Chanchu, submitted by Macao, is a Chinese word for pearl. Chanchu moved north, and had dissipated by July 30.
There is good evidence Chanchu is actually a regeneration of Upana. The official policy is that dateline crossers keep their name. However, there was supposedly some doubt at the time. Also, since Upana had dissipated several days earlier, the Japan Meteorological Agency decided that renaming the cyclone was the best choice.[1]

[edit] Typhoon Bilis (Isang)
On August 17, a tropical depression began its life in the Philippine Sea. It tracked northwestward, becoming a tropical storm on the 18th and a typhoon on the 19th. Bilis continued to intensify to a super typhoon on the 21st, and it struck the southeastern coast of Taiwan on the 22nd. It weakened slightly to a 140 mph typhoon while crossing the country, and hit China on the 23rd. Bilis was responsible for 17 deaths and $133.5 million in damage on Taiwan.

[edit] Typhoon Xangsane (Reming)
On October 27, Typhoon Xangsane hit southern Luzon of the Philippines. It turned to the north over the South China Sea, and after strengthening to a 100 mph typhoon it hit Taiwan. Xangsane dissipated on the 1st, after causing 181 casualties, 83 of which came from an airplane crash on October 31.
[edit] Typhoon Bebinca (Seniang)
On November 2, Tropical Storm Bebinca hit the central Philippines. It strengthened to a typhoon and reached a peak of 95 mph winds while crossing the archipelago, due to the contraction of the wind field. Bebinca continued northwestward, eventually dissipating over the South China Sea on the 8th after killing 26 people.

[edit] Storm names
Western North Pacific tropical cyclones were now named by the RSMC Tokyo-Typhoon Center of the Japan Meteorological Agency. Previous typhoon season names were assigned by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Names are now selected from the following lists, there is no annual list. Names are selected from the following lists, there is no annual list. Names were contributed by 13 members of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee, except for Singapore. The 13 nations or territories, along with Micronesia, each submitted 10 names, which are used in alphabetical order by the English name of the country. The first storm of 2000 was named Damrey and the final one was named Soulik.
