2006 Pacific typhoon season
The 2006 Pacific typhoon season was a near-average season that produced a total of 23 named storms, 15 typhoons, and six super typhoons. The season ran throughout 2006, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Chanchu, developed on May 9, while the season's last named storm, Trami, dissipated on December 20. Also, this season was more active, costly, and deadly than the previous season.
2018 Pacific typhoon season
A low-pressure area developed into a tropical depression northeast of Palau on December 29, 2017. The system moved generally westward and on the first day of 2018, the PAGASA began issuing advisories on the system and locally named it "Agaton". Both the JMA and the JTWC followed suit, with the latter designating the system as "01W". By January 3, the system had intensified into a tropical storm according to the JMA and was named "Bolaven", thus becoming the first named storm of the season. However, several hours later, Bolaven started to weaken and rapidly deteriorate. The system was last tracked by the JMA to the east of Vietnam on January 4.
