2014 Pacific hurricane season, Seasonal summary
The season's first named storm, Amanda, developed on May 23, shortly after the official start to the Pacific hurricane season on May 15. On May 24, the system intensified into a hurricane, transcending the climatological average date of June 26 for the first hurricane. The next day, Amanda attained major hurricane status, over a month sooner than the average date of July 19. Owing to Amanda's extreme intensity the ACE value for May was the highest on record in the East Pacific at 18.6 units, eclipsing the previous record of 17.9 units set in 2001.

Hurricane Cristina became the second's major hurricane, the system broke the previous record set by Hurricane Darby in 2010 which reached major status on June 25. However, this record was broken by Hurricane Blanca in 2015 which reached major status on June 3. Through June 14, the seasonal ACE reached its highest level since 1971, when reliable records began, for so early in the season. By the end of June, the ACE total remained at 230% of the normal value, before subsiding to near-average levels to end July.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Seasonal summary
By late July, the basin became rejuvenated, with 3 systems forming during the final 10 days of the month. Activity in August ramped up significantly, with four hurricanes developing during the month, two of which became major hurricanes, excluding Iselle and Genevieve, which formed in July, but became a major hurricane during August. By the end of August, ACE values rose to 60% above the 30-year average.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Seasonal summary
Continued, though less prolific, activity extended through September with four hurricanes developing that month. ACE values remained 45% above-average by the end of the month. Following the rapid intensification of Hurricane Simon to a Category 3 hurricane during the afternoon of October 4, the 2014 season featured the highest number of major hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific basin since the advent of satellite imagery. With eight such storms east of 140°W, the year tied with the record set in the 1992 season. However, this record was surpassed by the 2015 Pacific hurricane season.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Amanda
Amanda originated as a tropical wave that moved into the eastern Pacific on May 16. It continued west, organizing into a tropical depression around 18:00 UTC on May 22 and further intensifying into a tropical storm a day later. After attaining hurricane strength at 12:00 UTC on May 24, the storm began a period of rapid intensification, peaking as high-end Category 4 hurricane with winds of 155 mph (250 km/h) within 24 hours; this made Amanda the strongest May tropical cyclone and second earliest major hurricane on record in the basin. As the system slowed to a crawl, cold water upwelling beneath it began a weakening trend. The hurricane fell to tropical storm strength early on May 28, weakened to tropical depression strength early on May 29, and dissipated around 18:00 UTC that day.

A river near Coyuca de Benítez overflowed its banks. Three trees were brought down and a vehicle in Acapulco was destroyed, near where one person was killed. In Colima, minor landslides occurred, resulting in the closure of Federal Highway 200. Two people perished in Michoacán while several roads were destroyed in Zitácuaro.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Boris
The formation of Boris is attributed to a low-level trough that entered the East Pacific from the southwestern Caribbean Sea on May 28. A broad area of low pressure developed in association with the trough south of the Mexico–Guatemala border two days later, and the disturbance steadily organized with aid from an eastward-moving convectively-coupled kelvin wave. By 18:00 UTC on June 2, the system acquired enough organization to be deemed a tropical depression. Tracking northward, the depression steadily became better defined as spiral bands developed over the eastern semicircle of the circulation.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Boris
After intensifying into a tropical storm at 12:00 UTC on June 3 and attaining peak winds of 45 mph (70 km/h) six hours later, increasing land interaction caused Boris to begin weakening. It was downgraded to a tropical storm early on June 4 and subsequently degenerated into a remnant low at 18:00 UTC. The remnant low turned northwestward and dissipated shortly thereafter.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Boris
Posing a considerable rainfall and mudslide threat to Guatemala, classes were suspended in nine school districts, impacting 1.25 million pupils. Similarly, some classes were suspended in the Mexican states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. In the former, roughly 16,000 people were evacuated out of hazardous areas. Most of the impacts associated with Boris were due to its developing precursor, whose heavy rainfalls caused 20 mudslides, killing five and resulting in extensive property damage. Heavy rainfall in Chiapas caused rivers to overflow their banks, resulting in minor damage. Overall, the effects of Tropical Storm Boris and its precursor killed six people across Central America.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Cristina
The complex interaction of a tropical wave, disturbance within the Intertropical Convergence Zone, and convectively-coupled kelvin wave led to the formation of a tropical depression around 12:00 UTC on June 9. Northerly shear limited intensification of the cyclone initially, but it became Tropical Storm Cristina eighteen hours after formation.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Cristina
A relaxation in upper-level winds allowed the system to begin a period of rapid intensification on June 11, and Cristina became both the earliest second hurricane and major hurricane on record at the time before attaining its peak as a Category 4 with winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) around 12:00 UTC on June 12. The combination of an eyewall replacement cycle, cooler waters, and entrainment of dry air caused Cristina to begin weakening shortly after peak; it fell to tropical storm intensity early on June 14 and degenerated to a remnant low by 06:00 UTC the next morning. The low moved erratically within low-level flow and dissipated early on June 19.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Cristina
Under the anticipation of 12 ft (3.7 m) waves,  a "yellow" alert was issued for Colima, Guerrero, Oaxaca, and parts of Jalisco and Michoacán. Along Manzanillo, strong waves resulted in minor flooding that damaged one road.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Douglas
A tropical wave emerged off the western coast of Africa on June 17, tracking across the Atlantic Ocean with inappreciable organization throughout the following days. The wave crossed Central America on June 25, where deep convective activity increased. On June 28, the disturbance became distinctively better defined with a well-defined center and spiral banding, signifying the formation of a tropical depression by 18:00 UTC while positioned about 345 mi (555 km) south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Douglas
Steered west-northwest and eventually northwest under the influence of a mid-level ridge, the broad cyclone slowly intensified into a tropical storm by 00:00 UTC on June 30, attaining peak winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) late the next day. Thereafter, a track over cooler waters and into a drier environment caused the system to begin weakening; at 06:00 UTC on July 5, Douglas degenerated into a non-convective remnant low well west of Baja California. The remnant low turned slowly west-northwest prior to dissipating on July 8.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Elida
A well-defined tropical wave moved emerged off the western coast Africa on June 20. After entering the East Pacific a week later, shower and thunderstorm activity began to increase. Although the system lacked a closed low initially, a small circulation was noted by 06:00 UTC on June 30, and the system was declared Tropical Storm Elida accordingly. Paralleling the southwestern coast of Mexico, the cyclone attained peak winds of 45 mph (70 km/h) before strong northwesterly wind shear from nearby Tropical Storm Douglas caused the storm to become disheveled. It weakened to a tropical depression at 00:00 UTC on July 2 and degenerated into a remnant low six hours later. The remnant low drifted southeastward before dissipating early on July 3.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Fausto
A tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on June 22 and entered the East Pacific eight days later. On July 4, convection increased with the aid of a convectively-coupled kelvin wave, and two days later, a broad area of low pressure formed along the wave axis well south-southwest of Baja California. After further organization, the disturbance was declared a tropical depression at 12:00 UTC on July 7. Steered westward around a subtropical ridge, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Fausto six hours later and simultaneously attained peak winds of 45 mph (70 km/h). By early on July 9, Fausto weakened to a tropical depression as dry air became entrained into the circulation. The low-level center opened up into a trough by 12:00 UTC, marking the demise of the cyclone.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Wali
The NHC began monitoring a large area of disturbed weather in association with a tropical wave well southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula on July 13. After crossing into the central Pacific, the disturbance gradually organized, and it acquired enough organization to be declared a tropical depression at 00:00 UTC on July 17. An hour later, data from an ASCAT pass revealed winds up to 45 mph (70 km/h), and the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Wali.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Wali
Steered west-northwestward around a mid-level ridge to the cyclone's northeast, increasing wind shear caused the cloud pattern associated with Wali to become disorganized; at 18:00 UTC on July 18, the system was downgraded to a tropical depression, and by 00:00 UTC the following afternoon, Wali was declared a remnant low after having been devoid of deep convection. On July 19–20, the remnant moisture of Wali triggered a major rainfall event across Hawaii, causing flooding.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Wali
The remnants dropped over 12 inches (30 cm) of rainfall on parts of Oahu, with rainfall rates up to 4.68 inches (11.9 cm) per hour being recorded. On July 19, a swimmer was killed near Molokini Island, to the south of Maui, when outflow from a collapsing thunderstorm north of Maui created rough seas in Māʻalaea Bay.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Genevieve
A disturbance first identified south of Panama on July 15 continued west and organized into a tropical depression around 00:00 UTC on July 25; it intensified into Tropical Storm Genevieve six hours later. Increasing wind shear caused the cyclone to degenerate to a remnant low early on July 28 after it entered the central Pacific, and although it regenerated and subsequently intensified into a tropical storm again two days later, an unfavorable environment caused it to lose its status as a tropical cyclone for a second time around 00:00 UTC on August 1.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Genevieve
Genevieve once again regenerated to a tropical depression around 06:00 UTC on August 2, and it continued west across the central Pacific as a low-end system for several days. An intensification trend began in earnest on August 5, and Genevieve attained hurricane strength around 12:00 UTC the next morning before beginning a period of rapid intensification. It attained major hurricane intensity before crossing the International Date Line into the western Pacific early on August 7, where the system further intensified into a Category 5-equivalent typhoon.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Hernan
A tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on July 12 and reached the East Pacific by July 21. Initially devoid of convection, shower and thunderstorm activity increased significantly a few days later, possibly due to the passage of a convectively-coupled kelvin wave. Following the development of a closed area of low pressure, the disturbance was designated as a tropical depression at 06:00 UTC on July 26 while located about 405 mi (650 km) southwest of Zihuatanejo, Mexico; twelve hours later, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Hernan.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Hernan
Influenced by a mid-level ridge over the southern United States and Mexico, the cyclone moved west-northwest to northwest while quickly strengthening. At 18:00 UTC on July 27, Hernan intensified into a Category 1 hurricane and simultaneously attained peak winds of 75 mph (120 km/h). Thereafter, increasing westerly shear and cooling ocean temperatures caused the storm to begin weakening. Hernan was downgraded to a tropical storm at 06:00 UTC on July 28 and degenerated into a remnant low at 12:00 UTC the following day. The remnant low slowed and turned west prior to dissipating early on July 31.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Iselle
A tropical wave emerged from Africa on July 14, eventually organizing into a tropical depression over the eastern Pacific around 12:00 UTC on July 31; six hours later, it strengthened into Tropical Storm Iselle. A mid-level ridge over Mexico directed the system west-northwest, while improving upper-level winds allowed Iselle to begin rapid intensification. Iselle reached hurricane intensity around 00:00 UTC on August 2 and major hurricane strength by 12:00 UTC the next day.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Iselle
As the hurricane moved parallel to the 26 °C isotherm, its cloud pattern evolved to resemble an annular hurricane, with a large eye and lack of convective bands. It intensified into a Category 4 hurricane early on August 4 and attained peak winds of 140 mph (225 km/h) around 18:00 UTC that day. Increased wind shear prompted a weakening trend as the system entered the central Pacific, and it weakened to a tropical storm by 06:00 UTC on August 8 before making landfall just east of Pahala, Hawaii, with winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) six hours later. The high terrain of Hawaii contributed to the disruption of Iselle's cloud pattern, and it degenerated to a remnant low by 06:00 UTC on August 9 before dissipating west of the island late the next day.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Julio
Julio originated from a tropical wave that moved off Africa on July 20, ultimately organizing into a tropical depression well southwest of Baja California by 00:00 UTC on August 4. After intensifying into a tropical storm six hours later, it tracked west-northwest. Light northeasterly wind shear allowed the cyclone to reach hurricane strength around 06:00 UTC on August 6 and further organize to its peak as a Category 3 with winds of 120 mph (195 km/h) two days later, despite cool ocean temperatures. Shortly after entering the central Pacific, Julio began to weaken as a result of cold water upwelling.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Julio
Although the cyclone fell to a tropical storm early on August 12, an upper-level environment still favorable for strengthening allowed Julio to briefly regain hurricane strength the next day. Julio fell below hurricane strength once again early on August 14 as southwesterly wind shear increased, weakened to a tropical depression early on August 15, and degenerated to a remnant low around 18:00 UTC that day. The low dissipated over the far northern Pacific on August 18.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Karina
A tropical wave left Africa on July 28, crossing Central America to become a tropical depression by 00:00 UTC on August 12. The newly formed system strengthened as it moved west-northwest, becoming Tropical Storm Karina around 12:00 UTC the next morning, and further intensifying to a hurricane by 18:00 UTC on August 14. Increasingly easterly shear eroded the hurricane's inner core, and Karina dramatically weakened as a result. By August 19, as it remained disorganized, a large ridge to its north diminished and a sprawling tropical cyclone—Lowell—formed to its east, leading to weak steering currents that allowed Karina to meander.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Karina
It executed a three-day-long cyclonic loop, while environmental conditions began to improve, and became a hurricane again by 18:00 UTC on August 22; twelve hours later, Karina reached peak winds of 85 mph (135 km/h). Lower ocean temperatures and increasing shear soon deteriorated the storm's cloud pattern, and it fell below hurricane strength early on August 24. Lacking persistent convection, Karina degenerated to a remnant area of low pressure by 18:00 UTC on August 26, cementing its status as the seventh longest-lived tropical cyclone on record in the East Pacific. The remnant low moved around the southern portion of nearby Hurricane Marie and dissipated early on August 28.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Lowell
A tropical wave departed Africa on August 1, crossing Central America to become a tropical depression around 12:00 UTC on August 17. With a circulation about 920 mi (1,480 km) across, the unusually large system only slowly organized, becoming Tropical Storm Lowell around 18:00 UTC on August 18. Strong upper-level winds that had been plaguing the system weakened as it moved west then northwest, and its large circulation contracted, allowing Lowell to attain hurricane strength with peak winds of 75 mph (120 km/h) by 12:00 UTC on August 21 as a large eye became evident.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Lowell
Low wind shear allowed Lowell to only slowly decrease in intensity over the coming days despite cooling ocean temperatures. It became a tropical depression early on August 24 and degenerated to a remnant low around 12:00 UTC that morning. The post-tropical cyclone turned west and remained distinct until late on August 28, when it dissipated into an open trough well northeast of Hawaii.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Marie
A tropical wave crossed the coast of Africa on August 10, developing into a tropical depression over the East Pacific around 00:00 UTC on August 22. Embedded in a very favorable environment, the system intensified into Tropical Storm Marie six hours later, part of a larger 66-hour period of rapid intensification that ultimately brought the storm to its peak as a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 160 mph (255 km/h) around 18:00 UTC on August 24.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Marie
An eyewall replacement cycle later that day curbed the strengthening trend, and by August 26, a persistent ridge over the southern United States directed Marie into cooler ocean waters; both of these events caused steady to rapid weakening. Marie weakened to a tropical storm around 18:00 UTC on August 27 and degenerated to a remnant low a day later. The low turned west and eventually dissipated, early on September 2.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Norbert
A tropical wave departed Africa on August 18 and reached the East Pacific nearly two weeks later, where it steadily organized into Tropical Storm Norbert around 12:00 UTC on September 2. Departure from the ITCZ resulted in the system moving north initially, but a series of ridges over Mexico directed it on a west to northwest track for the remainder of its duration. Over anomalously warm ocean waters, and part of an increasingly favorable shear regime, Norbert intensified into a hurricane by 00:00 UTC on September 4.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Norbert
After levelling off in intensity the next day, the system quickly strengthened to its peak as a Category 3 hurricane with winds of 125 mph (200 km/h) around 06:00 UTC on September 6. Norbert passed west of Baja California and entered a drier environment, causing a rapid decay that caused it to degenerate to a remnant low by 00:00 UTC on September 7. The low meandered offshore before dissipating early on September 11.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Odile
The most destructive hurricane of the 2014 season began as a tropical depression around 00:00 UTC on September 10 from a tropical wave that first left Africa on August 28. Situated between two mid-level ridges, the system moved northwest while steadily intensifying, becoming Tropical Storm Odile six hours after formation and further strengthening into a hurricane by 06:00 UTC on September 13. A period of rapid intensification began at that time, with Odile's winds increasing from 75 mph (120 km/h) to a peak of 140 mph (225 km/h) within a 24-hour timeframe.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Odile
The onset of an eyewall replacement cycle caused the hurricane to weaken slightly on September 14, but Odile still maintained winds of 125 mph (200 km/h) when it made landfall near Cabo San Lucas at 04:45 UTC. It continued up the spine of Baja California before curving northeast into the Gulf of California, ultimately making a second landfall near Alvaro Obregón, Mexico as a minimal tropical storm on September 17. Odile progressed inland and quickly dissipated over the mountainous terrain of Mexico by 06:00 UTC the next day.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Depression Sixteen-E
A tropical wave that cannot be traced back to Africa was first noted over the central Atlantic on August 29. It entered the East Pacific four days later, where an increase in organization led to the development of a tropical depression well southwest of Baja California around 06:00 UTC on September 11. A mid-level ridge to its east directed the newly formed system northwest to north initially, but as this ridge gradually dissipated, nearby Hurricane Odile became the dominant steering mechanism and forced the depression generally east. In close proximity to Odile, the depression was heavily sheared and thus failed to intensify into a tropical storm. It instead degenerated to a remnant low around 06:00 UTC on September 15 before weakening to an open trough the next morning.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Polo
The interaction of a westward-tracking tropical wave that emerged off the coast of Africa on September 4, an eastward-tracking kelvin wave, and an elongated surface trough led to the formation of Tropical Storm Polo by 00:00 UTC on September 16 about 310 mi (500 km) south of Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Tracking northwest within an environment conducive for strengthening, Polo intensified into a Category 1 hurricane and reached peak winds of 75 mph (120 km/h) by 00:00 UTC on September 18 as an eye became evident on satellite imagery.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Polo
A sharp increase in wind shear quickly thereafter caused the storm's center to become exposed, and a reconnaissance mission indicated that Polo weakened to a tropical storm by 18:00 UTC that day. After maintaining intensity for about a day, the cyclone weakened to a tropical depression by 06:00 UTC on September 22 and further decreased into a remnant low six hours later. The low turned southwestward before dissipating well southwest of the southern tip of Baja California on September 26.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Polo
One tourist perished and three others, including two fisherman, went missing in Guerrero. A total of 190 restaurants and 20 shops were damaged. Damage in the state totalled at about 100 million pesos (US$7.6 million).


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Rachel
A vigorous tropical wave moved off Africa on September 7, aiding in the formation of Hurricane Edouard before entering the East Pacific on September 19. There, it interacted with pre-existing southwesterly flow, eventually leading to the formation of a tropical depression around 18:00 UTC on September 23. Moderate northeast wind shear prevented the west-northwest-moving depression from becoming Tropical Storm Rachel until 00:00 UTC on September 25. The next day, Rachel's original center dissipated and a new one formed under deep convection. Environmental conditions became more favorable on September 17, when the cyclone reached hurricane strength at 18:00 UTC.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Rachel
It attained peak winds of 85 mph (135 km/h) six hours later before dry air, wind shear, and cooler waters caused a quick decay as the storm moved north. Rachel fell below hurricane strength around 06:00 UTC on September 29 and degenerated to a remnant low by 12:00 UTC the next morning. It dissipated early on October 3.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Simon
A tropical wave departed Africa on September 14 and continued into the eastern Pacific ten days later, where it interacted with the ITCZ and produced a large area of convection. An area of low pressure developed within this convection and organized while moving west-northwest, becoming a tropical depression by 18:00 UTC on October 1 and intensifying into Tropical Storm Simon twelve hours later. Simon only slowly strengthened initially, limited by its broad size.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Simon
However, beginning around 18:00 UTC on October 3, it began a 30-hour period of rapid intensification wherein maximum winds increased from 65 mph (105 km/h) to 130 mph (210 km/h), a Category 4 hurricane. The system turned northwest around the periphery of a ridge, tracking into a region of low ocean heat content that prompted cold water upwelling. Simon rapidly weakened to a tropical storm early on October 6 before gradually degenerating to a remnant area of low pressure around 00:00 UTC on October 8. The post-tropical cyclone turned east and moved ashore Baja California Sur several hours later before dissipating over rugged terrain by 06:00 UTC the next day.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Ana
An area of deep convection and a low-pressure area merged and became Tropical Depression Two-C on October 13. It slowly intensified and turned northwestward, developing into Tropical Storm Ana. The storm continued intensifying and was upgraded to a strong tropical storm. Ana turned westward, strengthening into a Category 1 hurricane on October 17. As Ana kept south of the island chain, the hurricane produced large waves and winds. Consequently, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center initiated tropical storm watches. Ana was downgraded to a tropical storm very early on October 20.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Ana
Beginning on October 15, various tropical cyclone warnings and watches were issued for Hawaii, starting with a tropical storm watch for the Big Island. Three days later, a tropical storm warning was issued for Kauai and Nihau, and was extended to include portions of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. The threat of the storm forced parks and beaches to close in the state. While passing south of Hawaii, Ana produced heavy rainfall on most of the islands, peaking at 11.67 in (296 mm) at Keaumo on the Big Island.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Ana
The rains caused the Sand Island water treatment plant in Honolulu to overflow, which sent about 5,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater into Honolulu Harbor. On October 25, Ana was downgraded to a tropical storm for the second time. Ana continued on a track to the northwest and weakened even further. The system eventually turned north and once again re-strengthened into a high-end tropical storm. Ana turned northwest and soon northeast, fluctuating in strength before being picked up by the jet stream. While racing off to the northeast at nearly 35 knots, Ana once again strengthened into a Category 1. After yet again being downgraded to a tropical storm, Ana became extratropical far to the northeast of Hawaii on October 26.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Trudy
A broad area of low pressure became established across the East Pacific during the first week of October. In conjunction with an eastward-moving convectively-coupled kelvin wave and a Tehuantepecer, a significant increase in convection in association with the low was observed. Following several days of consolidation, the disturbance acquired sufficient organization to be declared a tropical depression at 12:00 UTC on October 17; six hours later, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Trudy.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Trudy
Amid an exceptionally favorable environment, Trudy quickly intensified as it moved north-northwestward, with the formation of an inner core and eye evident on conventional and microwave satellite imagery. At 09:15 UTC on October 18, the cyclone reached peak winds of 65 mph (105 km/h) as it moved ashore just southeast of Marquelia, Mexico. Trudy quickly weakened following landfall, weakening to a tropical depression at 18:00 UTC and dissipating by 06:00 UTC on October 19, while located over the mountains of southern Mexico. Trudy's remnant energy continued across Mexico and contributed to the development of Tropical Storm Hanna/Tropical Depression Nine on October 21, 2014.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Trudy
In preparation for the cyclone, various tropical cyclone watches and warnings were issued for the coastline of southeastern Mexico. A "yellow" alert was initially activated for Guerrero; however, following Trudy's period of rapid intensification, this was abruptly upgraded to a "red" alert for southeastern portions of the state as well as southwestern Oaxaca, and the remainder of the two states were placed under an "orange" alert. Upon making landfall, torrential rainfall associated with the cyclone caused numerous landslides and flooding. Approximately 4,075 people were evacuated from the most-at-risk locations.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Trudy
A total of 5,000 homes were affected by the storm, 218 of which damaged and an additional six completely destroyed. At the height of the storm, more than 20,000 households were without electricity. A state of emergency was declared for 35 municipalities across Guerrero and 100 municipalities in Oaxaca. Overall, Trudy was responsible for nine deaths: eight in Guerrero and one in Campeche.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Vance
A trough that extended from the Atlantic's Tropical Storm Hanna into the eastern Pacific led to widespread convection south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec in late October. This disturbance remained disorganized until 06:00 UTC on October 30, when a well-defined center and organized thunderstorm activity led to the formation of a tropical depression. The cyclone intensified into Tropical Storm Vance twelve hours later but ultimately weakened some due to the entrainment of dry air. After drifting for a day, mid-level ridging over the far eastern Pacific caused the storm to move west-northwest.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Vance
Improving environmental conditions allowed it to become a hurricane around 12:00 UTC on November 2 and rapidly strengthen to a Category 2 with winds of 110 mph (175 km/h) the next day. Vance curved northeast into a higher shear environment by November 4, causing the system to weaken from a Category 2 hurricane to a tropical depression in an 18-hour period. The depression opened up into a trough around 12:00 UTC on November 5 and moved ashore Sinaloa and Nayarit several hours later before dissipating.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Vance
Heavy rains from the remnants of Vance, lasting 40 hours in some places, damaged 2,490 homes across 7 municipalities in the Mexican state of Durango. Flooding up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in depth affected ten homes in San Dimas. Thirty families in the area were evacuated due to the rising water. A few landslides were reported in the region, though no major damage resulted.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Storm names
The following names were used to name storms that formed in the northeastern Pacific Ocean during 2014. Retired names, were announced by the World Meteorological Organization in the spring of 2015. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 2020 season. This is the same list used in the 2008 season with the exception of Amanda, which replaced Alma; the name Amanda was used for the first time this year.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Storm names
For storms that form in the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of responsibility, encompassing the area between 140°W and the International Date Line, all names are used in a series of four rotating lists. The next four names slated for use are shown below. Two names, Wali and Ana, were used.

On April 17, 2015, at the 37th session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the name Odile was retired due to the damage and deaths it caused and will not be used for another Pacific hurricane. Odile was replaced with Odalys for the 2020 season.


2014 Pacific hurricane season, Season effects
This is a table of all of the storms that have formed in the 2014 Pacific hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, landfall(s), denoted in parenthesis, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 2014 USD.


2014 Pacific typhoon season
The 2014 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly below average season, featuring 23 tropical storms, 11 typhoons, 8 super typhoons, and 7 Category 5 typhoons. The season's peak months August and September saw minimal activity caused by an unusually strong and a persistent suppressing phase of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO). The season ran throughout 2014, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season began with the development of Tropical Storm Lingling on January 18, and ended after Tropical Storm Jangmi which dissipated on January 1 of the next year.


2014 Pacific typhoon season
The season was not as active, deadly and costly as the previous typhoon season, but was notable for producing a series of powerful super typhoons. In fact, this season saw the most storms reaching Category 5 intensity on the Saffir–Simpson scale (seven–Neoguri, Rammasun, Halong, Genevieve, Vongfong, Nuri and Hagupit) since 1997. Two of those were notable; Rammasun became one of only three Category 5 typhoons recorded in the South China Sea with the others being Typhoon Pamela in 1954 and Meranti in 2016. The typhoon killed about 200 people and caused roughly US$8 billion worth of damage in China and the Philippines. Genevieve, a long-lasting system, was the first since 1999 for a system to exist in all three Northern Pacific basins.


2014 Pacific typhoon season
The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean to the north of the equator between 100°E and 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones which can often result in a cyclone having two names.


2014 Pacific typhoon season
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) will name a tropical cyclone should it be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 65 kilometres per hour (40 mph) anywhere in the basin, whilst the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E–115°E and between 5°N–25°N regardless of whether or not a tropical cyclone has already been given a name by the JMA. Tropical depressions that are monitored by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) are given a number with a "W" suffix.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Seasonal forecasts
Every year several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, and typhoons will form during a season and/or how many tropical cyclones will affect a particular country. These agencies include the Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) Consortium of the University College London, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau. During October 2013, the Vietnamese National Center for Hydro Meteorological Forecasts (VNCHMF) predicted that one to two tropical cyclones would develop and possibly affect Vietnam between November 2013 and April 2014.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Seasonal forecasts
Within its January — June seasonal climate outlook, PAGASA predicted that one to two tropical cyclones were likely to develop and/or enter the Philippine area of responsibility between January and March while three to six were predicted for the April to June period. During March the Hong Kong Observatory predicted that the typhoon season in Hong Kong, would be near normal with four to seven tropical cyclones passing within 500 km (310 mi) of the territory compared to an average of 6.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Seasonal forecasts
On May 5 and 6, China Meteorological Administration's Shanghai Typhoon Institute (CMA-STI) predicted that 26-28 tropical storms would develop over the basin, while Tropical Storm Risk issued their first forecast for the season and predicted an active typhoon season. As a result 27 tropical storms, 17 typhoons and 11 intense typhoons were predicted to occur, while an ACE Index of 375 was also predicted by TSR. In late June Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau predicted that 29-32 tropical storms would develop over the basin, while three-five systems were expected to affect Taiwan itself.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Seasonal forecasts
Within its July — December seasonal climate outlook, PAGASA predicted that eight to ten tropical cyclones were likely to develop and/or enter the Philippine area of responsibility between July and September, while five to seven were predicted for the October–December period. Within its two final forecasts for 2014, Tropical Storm Risk predicted that 26 tropical storms, 16 typhoons and 9 intense typhoons would develop over the basin.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Season summary
A total of 32 systems developed throughout 2014, of which 23 reached tropical storm strength. Of the eleven typhoons, eight peaked at Category 5-equivalent intensity. Although the season featured below-normal activity overall, the season's first half was unusually active with eight named storms developing. Two of those storms, Lingling and Kajiki, both affected the Philippines during January, which is the first time since 1986 where two systems have developed during the month of January. In July, tropical activity increased, with most of the storms developing that month strengthening into typhoons.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Season summary
Moreover, all storms that developed during that month impacted land and caused significant damage and many casualties. In August, Genevieve, from the Eastern and Central Pacific basins, entered the West Pacific basin. However, no other tropical cyclones exceeded tropical storm intensity that month. This was largely due to a very strong, but unfavorable phase of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), which hindered tropical cyclone formation.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Season summary
Conditions for tropical cyclogenesis became more favorable during September with the formation of Tropical Depression Karding and Severe Tropical Storm Fengshen, although activity was still below-normal. During the same month, Kalmaegi and Fung-wong both impacted the Philippines, bringing torrential rainfall, causing flash flooding in many provinces. Typhoons Phanfone and Vongfong both became intense typhoons and affected Japan during October. Later that month, Typhoon Nuri developed and resulted in the formation of the 2014 Bering Sea bomb cyclone.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Season summary
Towards the end of the season, Typhoon Hagupit intensified into a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon before weakening and affecting the Philippines as a Category 3-equivalent typhoon. Hagupit caused much fewer impacts than Typhoon Haiyan of the previous year. The season's last named storm, Tropical Storm Jangmi, developed in December 28. Jangmi affected the southern Philippines and dissipated during January 1, 2015, making it the first storm in the Western Pacific to span two calendar years since Typhoon Soulik in 2000.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Lingling (Agaton)
On January 10, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed, about 1,800 km (1,120 mi) to the southeast of Manila, Philippines. The JMA expected the system to develop into a tropical storm within 24 hours, despite it being located in an area of marginal conditions for further development. The JMA downgraded it back to a weak tropical disturbance on January 12, when convection became more disorganized. Although its remnants crossed Mindanao, Philippines on January 13 and emerged into the area off the northeast coast of Mindanao on the next day.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Lingling (Agaton)
The system intensified into a tropical depression again on January 15 with the poor structure under high vertical wind shear and strong northeasterly surges, and the JTWC issued a TCFA on the system on the next day, for the consolidating structure and more favorable conditions. On January 17, PAGASA upgraded the system to a tropical depression and gave the local name Agaton. During the next day the JMA reported that the system had intensified into a tropical storm and named it Lingling.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Lingling (Agaton)
Six hours later, the JTWC upgraded Lingling to a tropical storm, based on the scatterometer data and Dvorak estimates; though post-analysis revealed that the system never strengthened into a tropical storm by the JTWC. Half a day later, however, the JTWC downgraded Lingling to a tropical depression, for significantly diminishing convection. The system was last noted by the JMA, during January 20, as it dissipated to the southeast of the Philippines.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Lingling (Agaton)
Despite not making landfall as a tropical cyclone on the Philippines, the system brought considerable rainfall over several days to southern Mindanao that caused six flooding and sixteen landslide incidents. As a result the majority of the 70 deaths caused by the system in the Philippines, were as a result of landslides or people drowning. Other impacts caused by Lingling (Agaton) included damage to 3482 houses and flooding to the irrigation dams in Cateel, Davao Oriental. Overall the total cost of damages was estimated at PHP567 million (US$12.6 million).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Kajiki (Basyang)
On January 29, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed about 475 km (295 mi) to the south-southeast of Hagåtña, Guam. Over the next day the system moved westwards within an area that was marginal for further development, with low to moderate vertical wind shear and moved into the Philippine area of responsibility. As a result PAGASA named the system Basyang during January 30, while the JTWC initiated advisories and designated the system as Tropical Depression 02W.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Kajiki (Basyang)
The system subsequently continued to move westwards under the influence of the subtropical ridge of high pressure, before it reached its peak intensity as a tropical storm with wind speeds of 65 kilometres per hour (40 mph) during January 31. According to PAGASA, the storm made landfall over Siargao Island on January 31. Due to the unfavorable conditions in the South China Sea, Kajiki dissipated late on February 1.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Kajiki (Basyang)
Kajiki impacted the Philippines between January 30 and February 1, where a total of 13 landslides and 4 flooding incidents, were recorded in the provinces of Cebu and Southern Leyte. Overall six people were killed in the island nation while total damages were estimated at Php9.14 million (US$202,000).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Faxai
On February 27, the JMA started to monitor a tropical disturbance, that had developed, about 630 km (390 mi) to the south-southeast of Hagåtña, Guam. During the following day, it was upgraded by the JTWC to a tropical depression, and designated as 03W. Several hours later, the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm and named it Faxai. Faxai began to rapidly intensify into a severe tropical storm, and then typhoon, for a short period of time on March 4. The system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone during March 6, before it dissipated during March 8, while located around 800 km (495 mi) to the northeast of Wake Island.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Faxai
Despite passing well to the east of Guam, Faxai's wind and an enhanced wind flow to the north of the typhoon generated large swells, which claimed the life of a woman.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Depression 04W (Caloy)
On March 17, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed about 375 mi (605 km) to the east of Melekeok, Palau. Over the next few days, the system became more organised and it was named Caloy by PAGASA on March 21. During March 22, the JTWC started warning on the depression, giving the designation of 04W with winds of only 45 kilometres per hour (28 mph), while in the same time, Caloy made landfall over in Mindanao. Though, the JTWC issued its final warning as the system started to deteriorate later that same day. Caloy dissipated two days later as it emerged in the Sulu Sea.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Peipah (Domeng)
On March 30, a cluster of thunderstorms formed near the equator and Papua New Guinea, where the large cluster separated into two systems, with the other strengthening into Cyclone Ita. It intensified into a tropical depression on April 2 and strengthened into 05W by the JTWC the next day. On April 4, convection built up and the system intensified into a tropical storm, prompting the JMA to name it Peipah. Though during the next day, both agencies downgraded Peipah to a tropical depression, where the JTWC issued its final advisory.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Peipah (Domeng)
By April 6, the system entered into the Philippine Area of Responsibility, and was named Domeng by PAGASA, however they also issued their final advisory few hours later. The JMA continued to track the system until April 8 as it was located over eastern Philippines and had weakened into a low-pressure area.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Peipah (Domeng)
Late on April 13, the remnants of Peipah regenerated into a tropical depression to the east of the Philippines, while slowly continuing to approach the island nation. On April 15, the depression became disorganized and the system's convection was displaced from its center of circulation, prompting the JTWC to issue its final advisory on the system. During the next several hours, the remnants of the depression turned towards the southwest, until it dissipated late on April 15, just off the northeastern coast of the island of Mindanao.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Tapah
Early on April 27, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had formed about 420 km (260 mi) to the south-southeast of Hagåtña, Guam. Later that day, the JTWC upgraded it to Tropical Depression 06W as it moved north. Due to warm waters, the system rapidly intensified into a tropical storm with the JMA naming it Tapah on April 28. Later that day, convection occurred and the system was upgraded to a severe tropical storm. Early on April 29, the JTWC upgraded Tapah into a minimal typhoon. It weakened back to a tropical storm during April 30.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Tapah
During May 1, the system weakened into a tropical depression because of the effects of strong vertical windshear and a decrease in sea surface temperatures, before the JTWC issued their final advisory on the system. The system was subsequently last noted by the JMA during the next day, as it dissipated over 1,300 km (810 mi) to the south-east of Tokyo, Japan.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Mitag (Ester)
On June 9, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed about 115 km (71 mi) to the south-southeast of Hengchun, Taiwan. During the net day, PAGASA named the system Ester, as it brought flooding to the Philippines. By June 11, convection increased near the system's center as the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm, naming it Mitag. The JTWC did not track the storm, however in their advisory, they have classified Mitag as "subtropical". Mitag peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of 75 kilometres per hour (47 mph) later that day until it was last noted by the JMA early on June 12, as the system was absorbed by a developing extratropical cyclone located north of Japan.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Mitag (Ester)
There was no damage reported in association with Tropical Storm Mitag (Ester) in the Philippines, however, it did prompt PAGASA to declare the official start of the rainy season on June 10, 2014.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Hagibis
Similar to the formation of Mitag, the JMA started to track a tropical depression over in the South China Sea on June 13. Later that day, the JTWC upgraded the system to Tropical Depression 07W, and at the same time, the JMA upgraded it to a tropical storm, naming it Hagibis. Early on June 15, Hagibis made landfall over southern China. During the next day, both agencies stopped issuing warnings on the system, as it rapidly weakened to a tropical depression over land.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Hagibis
Its remnants still continued to move northward, qand on June 17, the remnants of Hagibis curved eastwards, as it re-generated into a tropical storm. As a result, both agencies re-initiated advisories on Hagibis. Late on June 17, Hagibis transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. The system moved out of the basin on June 23. Hagibis made landfall over southern China at 04:50 UTC on June 15. Torrential rain continued to bring flooding until June 22, as the southwest monsoon weakened. No people were killed, and total economic losses in Mainland China were counted to be CNY 1.23 billion (US$198 million).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Neoguri (Florita)
During July 2, the JMA started to track a tropical depression about 220 km (140 mi) east of Chuuk State. The JTWC followed suit early on July 3, with the designation of 08W. Early on July 4, it was upgraded to a tropical storm by the both agencies, with the latter naming it as Neoguri. Later that day, Neoguri rapidly intensified into a Category 2 typhoon. By the next day, rapid intensification ensued and was upgraded to Category 4 typhoon status by the JTWC as an eye developed clearly.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Neoguri (Florita)
At the same time, the storm entered the PAR, with PAGASA giving it the local name Florita. Late the next day, Neoguri entered an area of very warm sea temperatures and intensified into a super typhoon. The storm reached peak intensity early on July 7, which the JTWC operationally assessed as 1-minute winds of 250 kilometres per hour (160 mph), with a minimum pressure of 930 hPa by the JMA, though in post-analysis Neoguri reached Category 5 intensity.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Neoguri (Florita)
Early on July 8, Neoguri weakened to a Category 3 typhoon and PAGASA stated that the storm had exited their area later that day. Late the next day, Neoguri further weakened to a severe tropical storm by the JMA. Due to the strong jet stream, Neoguri moved in an eastward direction instead of moving towards Korea. On July 10, JMA downgraded the system to a tropical storm and the JTWC issued its final advisory a few hours later as it started to become extratropical. At the same time, Neoguri's circulation became totally exposed as it was affecting southern Japan. The JMA made their final warning early on July 11, as Neoguri became extratropical. Its extratropical remnants of Neoguri collided with another weak, developing system north of it late on July 13.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Neoguri (Florita)
Throughout its path, Neoguri only caused three fatalities from Japan. A total of 670,000 people were forced to evacuate and about 40 flights were canceled throughout the country where 580,000 of them in Okinawa Prefecture and 90,000 in Kyushu from the period of July 7–9. Total damage in Japan were standing at ¥64 billion (US$632 million). On July 12, a few days after the typhoon, a heat wave swept across parts of Honshu and Hokkaido, killing one person.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Rammasun (Glenda)
On July 9, the JMA started to track a tropical depression roughly 280 km (175 mi) east of Chuuk State. The JTWC followed suit a few hours later with the designation of 09W. Subsequent convective deepening and enhancement of banding features resulted in the system's classification as a tropical storm on July 12 with the JMA assigning the name of Rammasun. Acquiring a slight southerly component to its track, Rammasun gradually intensified over the following days. Owing to its proximity to the Philippines, PAGASA began monitoring the storm on July 13 and assigned it the local name Glenda. The system achieved typhoon strength on July 14 after a 27 km (17 mi) wide eye formed. Rapid intensification ensued on the next day as Rammasun struck the Bicol Region of the Philippines as a Category 4 typhoon with 1-minute winds of 215 kilometres per hour (134 mph).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Rammasun (Glenda)
Turning back to the west-northwest, Rammasun weakened significantly as it traversed the Philippines. The system emerged over the South China Sea on July 16 with its eye no longer visible on satellite imagery. After briefly weakening to a severe tropical storm, favorable environmental conditions allowed for reorganization and Rammasun reached its peak intensity on July 18 as it approached southern China with a minimum pressure of 935 hPa. Featuring a well-defined eye surrounded by deep convection and prominent outflow, the JMA estimated the typhoon's winds at 165 kilometres per hour (103 mph).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Rammasun (Glenda)
Similar to Neoguri, operationally, the JTWC considered the system with peak winds equivalent to a high-end of Category 4 typhoon status, though its post-analysis showed that Rammasun briefly intensified into a Category 5. Weakening took place thereafter with the storm clipping Hainan Island and later striking Guangxi Province. Rammasun degraded to a tropical storm after moving ashore and ultimately dissipated on July 20 over Yunnan Province.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Rammasun (Glenda)
As of July 17, it is reported from NDRRMC that the death toll has reached 40 and the total amount of damages were amounted to 1 billion pesos ($27 million USD). In China, 18 persons were killed due to the storm. Total damages amounted to US$8 billion. Rammasun killed over 200 people.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Matmo (Henry)
On July 16, the JMA started to monitor a weak tropical depression to the northeast of Palau. The JTWC followed suit early on the next day. At the same day, the depression had intensified into a tropical storm, assigning the name Matmo. Early on July 18, Matmo entered the PAR, with PAGASA giving it the name Henry. By July 19, Matmo further intensified into a severe tropical storm while the JTWC had already considered it as a Category 1 typhoon as it started tracking northwestward.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Matmo (Henry)
Gradually intensifying, Matmo reached Category 2 typhoon intensity on July 21, and peak early on July 22 with 1-minute sustained winds of 165 kilometres per hour (103 mph). Later that day, the storm made landfall over in Hualien City. Matmo rapidly weakened throughout most of the next day when it made its second landfall in China as a tropical storm; the JTWC issued their final advisory later that day. The JTWC, however, tracked the system until July 25 when it became an extratropical system. Its remnants fully dissipated on July 26 near the Korean Peninsula.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Matmo (Henry)
One person was reported dead and there was some damage reported. At least 48 people died in a plane crash in the Taiwan strait; the crash may have been caused by the typhoon. As of July 24, according to the Yilan County Government, the agricultural damage in the county was estimated at about NT$44 million ($1.5 million USD).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Halong (Jose)
During July 27, the JMA started to track a tropical depression to the southeast of the Mariana Islands. The JTWC followed suit early the next day, giving the designation of 11W. Early on July 29, the system had intensified into Tropical Storm Halong. After two days of steady organization, Halong started to intensify into a severe tropical storm. By August 1, both agencies upgraded the storm to a typhoon. After a period of rapid deepening, Halong developed a clearer eye, and the JTWC further upgraded Halong to a Category 3, then to a Category 5 super typhoon.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Halong (Jose)
Halong peaked early on August 3 when it had sustained winds of 195 kilometres per hour (121 mph) and a pressure of 920 hPa. At the same time, PAGASA had reported that Halong had entered their area of responsibility, and assigned the local name Jose. On August 4, Halong underwent an eyewall replacement cycle and consequently, it weakened to a Category 4 typhoon as it curved northwards, and by August 5, Halong was further downgraded to a minimal typhoon.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Halong (Jose)
Halong maintained that intensity until made landfall over to the east of Tokyo, Japan on August 9, where the typhoon weakened to a severe tropical storm. By August 10, the JTWC stopped warning on Halong as it was already considered as "extratropical". The JMA tracked the system until early on August 11, though its remnants continued for over the next couple of days where the system had moved westwards into the Sea of Okhotsk, before it was last noted during August 15, as it moved into the Pacific Ocean.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Nakri (Inday)
On July 28, the JMA and the PAGASA started to track a tropical depression well east of the Babuyan Islands, with PAGASA naming it as Inday. Gradually intensifying, the JMA upgraded the system to Tropical Storm Nakri the next day. After passing through the Ryukyu Islands, on July 31, Nakri further deepened into a severe tropical storm. The JTWC, although, had only classified this as a "monsoonal disturbance" with winds packing at 40 knots. As Nakri neared the Korean Peninsula, the JTWC had begun warning on the system, although the JMA had already downgraded it to a tropical storm. Six hours later, the JTWC downgraded the system to a depression and stopped warning on Nakri. The JMA continued tracking the system as a tropical depression until it dissipated on August 4.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Nakri (Inday)
Despite Nakri did not cause direct impacts on the Philippines, the storm caused damages of Php5.13 million (US$118,000). Over 3,500 hectares of farmland were flooded and uprooted about 130 trees over in South Korea and killed a total of ten people. Damage in Haenam County reached ￦1.573 billion (US$1.52 million). In Japan, Nakri brought flash flooding in many prefectures, especially when the city of Iwakuni broke its record for receiving the most amount of rainfall in 1 hour and 3 hours, with 2.79 inches and 6.14 inches, respectively.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Nakri (Inday)
The city of Anan also received about 26 inches of rainfall, making it the wettest August since reliable records began in August 1978. Nakri also caused landslides, causing two deaths. An additional one person were killed. Total loss from Nakri, along with Typhoon Halong, were up to ¥89 billion (US$870 million).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Genevieve
On August 7, Hurricane Genevieve entered the West Pacific basin at Category 4 super typhoon status. Later that day, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) upgraded the system to a Category 5 super typhoon. Genevieve entered an area of favorable conditions and low vertical windshear, as it continued to intensify. Later on August 7, Genevieve reached its peak intensity, with winds of 110 knots (205 km/h; 125 mph), and with this, it became the third strongest storm within the Northwest Pacific in 2014. On August 9, Genevieve started to move in a northward direction, towards low to moderate vertical windshear.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Genevieve
Later that day, the JTWC downgraded the system to a category 3 typhoon. Later that day, Genevieve rapidly weakened to a strong Category 2 typhoon, as it began to encounter increasing windshear and drier inflow, to the south of the system. At the same time, the eye of the typhoon began to shrink. On August 10, Genevieve weakened to a minimal typhoon, as it began to develop a secondary eye, but the secondary eye soon disappeared, due to the storm moving over cooler waters.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Genevieve
Both agencies downgraded the system to a severe tropical storm later that day, and rapidly weakening to a minimal tropical storm on August 11. Later that day, Genevieve started to lose its identity, and showed a bit of subtropical characteristics. With this, JTWC issued their final advisory on the storm. However, JMA tracked Genevieve until August 14, as it interacted with a high-pressure area. The remnant energy of Genevieve continued and was absorbed by a developing low-pressure area north of it on August 15.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Fengshen
After nearly a month of tropical inactivity, the JMA started to track a tropical depression over to the southeast of Okinawa during September 5. During September 6, the depression rapidly organized into a tropical storm, assigning the name Fengshen. During the next day, Fengshen strengthened into a severe tropical storm as it started to move northeastwards. By September 9, Fengshen briefly reached its peak intensity as a severe tropical storm, with the JTWC considering it as a typhoon, with 1-minute sustained winds of 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) as it made a ragged eye. Fengshen collided with a developing front and started to weaken east of Japan, and was downgraded to a tropical storm. Both agencies issued their final warning on Fengshen later that day during September 10.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Depression 14W (Karding)
Late on September 5, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed out of an area of low pressure that had crossed central Luzon and was now located about 430 km (265 mi) to the south-west of Manila. During the next day, JTWC issued a TCFA while PAGASA named the depression Karding. JTWC classified it as Tropical Depression 14W on September 7, due to strong banding clouds surrounding the center. Although this did not continue as JMA made their final warning due to the large amount of disorganization.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Kalmaegi (Luis)
Tropical Depression 15W developed about 332 km (206 mi) to the east of Yap during September 11. At the same time, PAGASA had issued their first advisories on the storm, naming the system as Luis. During the next day, the system steadily intensified into a tropical storm and was named Kalmaegi by the JMA. By September 13, Kalmaegi intensified into a Category 1 typhoon, where it made landfall over in Cagayan early the next day, as it start to interact with land and the JMA downgraded Kalmaegi to a severe tropical storm.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Kalmaegi (Luis)
On September 15, Kalmaegi entered the South China Sea and intensified to a typhoon again, where it reached its peak intensity with sustained winds of 140 kilometres per hour (87 mph) while making its second landfall over Hainan Island. Kalmaegi rapidly weakened to a large tropical storm as it continued to move in a westward direction. Both agencies classified Kalmaegi as a tropical depression and the system fully dissipated on September 17.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Kalmaegi (Luis)
About 200 homes were destroyed with 600 damaged in the Philippines. The province of Pangasinan was under a "state of calamity" due to flash floods and Cagayan province experienced many landslides after the storm during September 16–17. According to the NDRRMC on September 19, 12 people have been killed while damages were reported up to ₱1.2 billion (US$27.3 million). Over in southern China, a total of 90,000 people evacuated during September 16 over in Hainan. Kalmaegi killed a total of 11 people and caused about CN¥17.74 billion (US$2.89 billion) in damages.

The typhoon also affected Vietnam, killing about 13 people, with damage losses of about ₫20 billion (US$944 thousand). Moreover, the remnants of Kalmaegi moved over parts of East India bringing landslides, where it also destroyed several roads during September 21–23. An additional 12 people were killed over in the city of Meghalaya.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Fung-wong (Mario)
During September 17, the JMA started to track a tropical depression as it had entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility and PAGASA subsequently named it, Mario. The JTWC also classified it as Tropical Depression 16W in the same time it was named. Mario later intensified into a tropical storm, with JMA assigning the name Fung-wong as it neared Luzon. By September 19, Fung-wong made landfall over in the northern tip of Cagayan. Early on September 20, JMA upgraded it to severe tropical storm strength, although in post-analysis, Fung-wong only reached tropical storm strength at its maximum intensity.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Fung-wong (Mario)
Moving northward, the storm made landfall on the shores of the southeastern part of Taiwan during the next day. Fung-wong later weakened due to land reaction. Both agencies downgraded Fung-wong to a tropical depression, just as it was making landfall over Shanghai on September 23. On September 24, Fung-wong started to interact with a frontal system and both the JMA and the JTWC issued their final advisory on the system, stating that it had become extratropical. Its remnants dissipated over in the Korean Peninsula on September 25.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Fung-wong (Mario)
During September 19, Fung-wong combined with the southwest monsoon brought extensive rainfall and flooding throughout most of the Philippines, and many say that Metro Manila had its worst flooding since 2009. Quezon City had a precipitation total of 268 mm in less than six hours and the Marikina River reached the level of 20 meters, causing many people to evacuate within the area. 21 flights have been delayed over in Clark International Airport and many power outages occurred in many provinces.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Fung-wong (Mario)
Total damage loss recorded from the NDRRMC had reached to ₱3.4 billion (US$76.4 million), and a total of 18 people were killed with an additional 16 missing. In addition to those, similar to Karding, hail was reported over in Makati on September 18. Moreover, rainfall in Taiwan also canceled many flights and killed three people. Fung-wong also killed a person in mainland China, and total economic losses were counted to be CNY 950 million (US$155 million).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Kammuri
On September 23, a tropical depression had developed near the Mariana Islands and during the next day, the JTWC designated the system as 17W. At the same time, 17W had strengthened into Tropical Storm Kammuri. As the low-level circulation improved, Kammuri became more organized. With this, a large eye started to develop. On September 26, the JMA upgraded the system to a severe tropical storm and reached peak intensity with sustained winds of 95 kilometres per hour (59 mph). By September 27, Kammuri started to interact with a frontal system as it started to weaken back into a tropical storm. The JTWC issued its final advisory on September 29 as they stated it had become extratropical. Though, the JMA tracked Kammuri until early the next day. Kammuri's remnants exited the basin and was last monitored late on October 1.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Phanfone (Neneng)
On September 26, a large area of convection persisted well west of the International Date Line. At the same time, JTWC had classified it as a tropical disturbance. The JMA classified this to a tropical depression on September 28, while the JTWC designated it as 18W the next day. On September 29, 18W intensified into Tropical Storm Phanfone, due to very favorable conditions and intense thunderstorms rich with convection surrounding the storm's center. Due to these factors, Phanfone continued displaying signs of intensification later that day. Phanfone strengthened into a minimal typhoon late on September 30.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Phanfone (Neneng)
But due to warm sea-surface temperatures and very favorable environments, Phanfone underwent rapid deepening on October 1. The next day, Phanfone strengthened into a category 4 typhoon. However, the storm then weakened to a category 3. This is due to its eye replacing the old one and undergoing a minor eyewall replacement cycle, although the JTWC upgraded Phanfone to a category 4 again late on October 3. At the same time, Phanfone entered the PAR, with PAGASA assigning the name Neneng, although the storm exited the basin several hours later.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Phanfone (Neneng)
On October 4, Phanfone reached its peak intensity, with the JTWC classifying it as a super typhoon. The storm steadily weaked as it approached Japan, and after it affected Japan, the JTWC issued its last advisory on the system on October 6, as it tracked northeastwards and extremely affected by strong vertical wind shear.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Vongfong (Ompong)
On October 2, the JMA started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed over in the Marshall Islands. During the next day, it was deemed as 19W by the JTWC, and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Vongfong a few hours later. Due to a strong outflow, Vongfong intensified into a minimal typhoon as it affected the Mariana Islands.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Vongfong (Ompong)
During the next day, Vongfong entered an area of favorable environments where it allowed the system to undergo a phase of rapid deepening, and as a result, it was upgraded to a Category 3 typhoon by the JTWC later that day on October 7. Late on October 7, PAGASA declared that Vongfong had entered their area of responsibility, and named it Ompong.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Vongfong (Ompong)
On October 8, Vongfong explosively intensified from a Category 3 to a Category 5 super typhoon, where it peaked with winds of 215 kilometres per hour (134 mph) and a minimum pressure of 900 hPa, making Vongfong the most powerful tropical cyclone of 2014, and the most intense since Typhoon Haiyan. Although Vongfong maintained its intensity, the typhoon undergo an eyewall replacement cycle and this made Vongfong to weaken late the next day. On October 10, the JTWC downgraded Vongfong to a category 3 typhoon, as its convection started to weakened slightly.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Vongfong (Ompong)
This also made the system weakened to a category 2 typhoon early on October 11, and passed by the island of Okinawa. Vongfong made landfall over southwestern Japan on October 13, just as both agencies downgraded it to a strong tropical storm, though the JTWC issued its final warning a few hours later. Dry air surrounded to southern periphery of Vongfong as the JMA issued its final advisory early on October 14. Vongfong's extratropical remnants exited basin early on October 16, and fully dissipated a day later.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Nuri (Paeng)
The JMA started to track tropical depression on October 30 in the Philippine Sea. On the following day, the JTWC issued warnings on the tropical depression, which was designated as 20W. Later that day, both agencies upgraded 20W to a tropical storm, with the name Nuri. Early on November 1, Nuri gradually intensified as it entered the PAR, with PAGASA naming it Paeng. Later that day, the JMA upgraded the storm to a severe tropical storm. Due to an increase of convective activity, Nuri had rapidly intensified into a typhoon by both agencies.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Nuri (Paeng)
On November 2, Nuri had undergone a phase of rapid deepening from a minimal typhoon to a super typhoon in a period of 24 hours. Late on November 2, Nuri had attained its peak intensity, with maximum sustained winds of 285 kilometres per hour (177 mph), tied with Vongfong, though its minimum pressure was recorded at 910 hPa. Some shear and cool sea-surface temperatures caused Nuri to weaken later that day as it rapidly moved northeastward. Both the JMA and the JTWC downgraded Nuri to a Category 3 typhoon on November 5.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Nuri (Paeng)
Around that time, the storm underwent an eyewall replacement cycle and Nuri quickly weakened, due to vertical wind shear. During November 6, Nuri had transitioned into an extratropical cyclone, as both agencies stopped issuing advisories on the system. Nuri's extratropical remnant split into two low-pressure systems on November 7, and Nuri's original low was later absorbed by the new, more powerful extratropical cyclone on the same day.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Sinlaku (Queenie)
On November 23, a cluster of thunderstorms was located near the equator. Late on November 24, a broad area of low-pressure develops well east of Mindanao, Philippines. On November 26, the area gradually developed convection near its center and PAGASA had upgraded it to Tropical Depression Queenie. Later the same day, both the JMA and the JTWC classified Queenie as a tropical depression, with the JTWC also designating it as 21W. On November 28, the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm, assigning the name Sinlaku, while the JTWC followed suit.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Sinlaku (Queenie)
Due to low vertical windshear, Sinlaku gathered strength while it was on the South China Sea. The next day, convective activity increased near the storm's center. At the same time, the JMA upgraded Sinlaku to a severe tropical storm, however according to its best track, the JMA peaked its intensity as a strong tropical storm. Later that day, Sinlaku made landfall over Vietnam as it started to weaken. Both agencies downgraded the system to a tropical depression early on November 30 and made their final advisories later that day.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Sinlaku (Queenie)
As a tropical depression, Sinlaku lashed the Visayas, killed 4 people and the infrastructural damage were at Php2.66 million (US$60,000). Damage in Vietnam were standing at VND 90 billion (US$4.2 million).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Hagupit (Ruby)
On November 30, the JMA started to track a tropical depression about 530 km (330 mi) south-southwest of Kosrae, however operationally it was tracked early the next day. By December 1, the JTWC started issuing advisories as the system has intensified into a tropical storm, assigning the name Hagupit. Hagupit intensified into a typhoon the next day. During December 3, Hagupit started to undergo a phase of explosive intensification from a Category 2 typhoon to a Category 5 super typhoon, as a clear and well-defined eye developed.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Hagupit (Ruby)
Later the same day, Hagupit entered the PAR, with PAGASA giving the name Ruby. Early on December 4, Hagupit reached its peak intensity with 10-minute sustained winds of 215 kilometres per hour (134 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 905 hPa. Thereafter, the typhoon encountered moderate vertical windshear from the east and started an eyewall replacement cycle as it weakened to a Category 4 super typhoon. The JTWC downgraded Hagupit to a Category 3 typhoon just before December 7. Hagupit made landfall over Eastern Samar and encountered land reaction, as it further weakened to a Category 2 typhoon.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Hagupit (Ruby)
Hours later, the system moved in a northwestward direction and made its second landfall over Masbate. The next day, both agencies downgraded Hagupit to a severe tropical storm, due to its continued slow movement and land reaction as it made its third landfall over the island of Marinduque. During its fourth landfall over Batangas, the JMA downgraded it to a tropical storm. On December 9, Hagupit emerged to the South China Sea, retaining its tropical storm intensity. Although due to an increase of deep convection near the center, Hagupit slightly strengthened, though its intensity remained at tropical storm strength. By December 12, Hagupit weakened to a tropical depression until both agencies issued their final advisory on the storm. The JMA tracked it until it dissipated just southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam later the same day.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Jangmi (Seniang)
On December 28, Tropical Depression 23W developed about 630 km (390 mi) to the west of the island of Palau. PAGASA also named the system as Seniang. A few hours later, the system had rapidly organized and was considered as a tropical storm, with the name Jangmi. By December 29, Jangmi made landfall over the town of Hinatuan in the province of Surigao del Sur and briefly reached its peak strength packing maximum winds of 85 kilometres per hour (53 mph). The storm traversed the Caraga region, and exited the landmass of Mindanao as the system had slowly weakened. During the next day, Jangmi made landfall over Cebu and southern Negros, right before the JTWC downgraded it to a tropical depression. Both agencies made their final warning on Jangmi on January 1, 2015, as the 2015 Pacific typhoon season started.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Other systems
During March 11, the JMA monitored a tropical depression that had developed about 195 km (120 mi) to the east of Mati City, Philippines. Over the next day the system moved westwards, before it was last noted within the Celebes Sea on March 12. On April 19, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed about 490 km (300 mi) southwest of Hagåtña, Guam. Due to less convection and cool waters on April 21, the depression weakened to a disturbance while still moving west.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Other systems
The remnants of the depression affected the northern Philippines and dissipated on April 23, due to land interaction. On July 19, a tropical depression formed to the southeast of Guam. It slowly moved in a northwest direction over the next few days. Early on July 22, the JTWC issued a TCFA Alert, but later that day, the system lost its organization, and was downgraded to a low-pressure area. On August 19, the JMA briefly monitored a tropical depression, that had developed along the coast of China to the northeast of Hong Kong.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Other systems
During August 24, from a post-analysis by the JMA, a tropical depression had developed well to the southeast of Tokyo, Japan. The system dissipated on August 26 as it was absorbed by a cold front associated with an extratropical system to its north. Convectional cloudiness persisted over the Philippines, contributing to bring heavy rainfall on August 25. The area intensified into a low-pressure area as it moved to the South China Sea the next day. It was classified as a tropical depression on August 27 by the JMA.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Other systems
The depression affected Hainan Island, Southern China and northern Vietnam by heavy rainfall and flash floods as it was moving in a westward direction. On August 29, the system weakened to an remnant low just east of the 100th meridian east. A low-pressure area formed from an upper-level low several kilometers east-southeast of Japan on August 31. It started to organize and the southern part of the system has winds of tropical depression strength. On September 4, JMA upgraded it to a tropical depression. Although the system moved into an area of moderate vertical wind shear. With this, the system became extratropical late on September 5.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names
Within the North-western Pacific Ocean, both the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assign names to tropical cyclones that develop in the Western Pacific, which can result in a tropical cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency's RSMC Tokyo — Typhoon Center assigns international names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee, should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph).


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names
While the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N-25°N even if the cyclone has had an international name assigned to it. The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired, by both PAGASA and the Typhoon Committee. Should the list of names for the Philippine region be exhausted then names will be taken from an auxiliary list of which the first ten are published each season. Unused names are marked in gray.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names, International names
During the season 22 tropical storms developed in the Western Pacific and each one was named by the JMA, when the system was judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph). The JMA selected the names from a list of 140 names, that had been developed by the 14 members nations and territories of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names, Philippines
During the season PAGASA used its own naming scheme for the 19 tropical cyclones, that either developed within or moved into their self-defined area of responsibility. The names were taken from a list of names, that had been last used during 2010 and are scheduled to be used again during 2018. The names Jose, Karding, Mario and Ruby were used for the first (and only, in cases of Jose, Mario and Ruby) time during the year after the names Juan, Katring, Milenyo and Reming were retired.


2014 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names, Retirement, International
After the season the Typhoon Committee retired the name Rammasun, and in February 2016, it was subsequently replaced with Bualoi for future seasons.
