Question: How many tropical storms were in the typhoon season that Typhoon Neoguri was in?
Context: The 2010 Pacific typhoon season was the least active Pacific typhoon season on record, featuring only 14 named storms; seven of them strengthened into typhoons while one reached super typhoon intensity.  Very unusual, with an exceptionally low activity within the basin, the Pacific typhoon season during 2010 was much weaker compared to the Atlantic hurricane season.  The last and only time that such a record like this occurred was during 2005.  During the season no storms have made landfall in mainland Japan, the only second such occurrence since 1988.  Also, all of the 14 named storms developed west of 150°E.  Moreover, the season had an index total Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) of 115, which is the second lowest in the basin after 1999.  It was also the fourth consecutive year with a below average ACE index. Typhoon Hagupit, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Nina, is recognised as the 14th Tropical Storm, the 12th Severe Tropical Storm and the 10th Typhoon of the 2008 Pacific typhoon season by the Japan Meteorological Agency who are the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre for the North Western Pacific.  The Joint Typhoon Warning Center have also recognised Hagupit as the 11th typhoon, 16th tropical storm, and the 18th tropical depression of the 2008 Pacific typhoon season. The 2014 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly below average season, featuring 23 tropical storms, 11 typhoons, and 8 super 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. The 1994 Pacific typhoon season was an extremely active season in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation in the Western North Pacific, with a total of 32 tropical storms, where 19 of them reached typhoon strength, during the course of the season.  The season had no official bounds and it ran year-round in 1994, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.  Tropical storms that formed west of the date line were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.  The World Meteorological Organization-designated Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre for tropical cyclones for the region is the Japan Meteorological Agency.  Tropical depressions that entered or formed in the Philippine area of responsibility were assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA.  This resulted in some storms having two names. Typhoon Neoguri (] ), known in the Philippines as Typhoon Ambo, was the earliest tropical cyclone on record to strike The People's Republic of China.  The first named storm in the 2008 Pacific typhoon season, named after the Korean word for raccoon dog, it formed from a low pressure area on April 13 to the east of the Philippine island of Mindanao, and after crossing the island it intensified into a tropical storm in the South China Sea.  Environmental conditions allowed for quick strengthening, with Neoguri attaining typhoon status on April 16.  The typhoon reached its peak intensity on April 18 as it approached the island of Hainan, and subsequently it turned northward.  Due to increased wind shear and cooler waters, Neoguri rapidly weakened and made landfall as a minimal tropical storm in southern China on April 19. The 1966 Pacific typhoon season was an active season, with many tropical cyclones having severe impacts in China, Japan, and the Philippines.  Overall, there were 49 tropical depressions declared officially or unofficially, of which 30 officially became named storms; of those, 20 reached typhoon status, while 3 further became super typhoons by having winds of at least 240 km/h (150 mph).  Throughout the year, storms were responsible for at least 997 fatalities and $377.6 million in damage; however, a complete record of their effects is unavailable. Typhoon Neoguri (] ), known in the Philippines as Typhoon Florita, was a large and powerful tropical cyclone which mainly struck Japan in 2014.  The eighth named storm and the second typhoon of the annual typhoon season, Neoguri developed into a tropical storm on July 3 and then a typhoon on July 4.  It rapidly deepened on July 5, reaching peak intensity late on July 6.  Neoguri began to decay on July 7 and passed through Okinawa on July 8 and then making landfall over Kyushu as a severe tropical storm late on July 9.  After Neoguri passed through the southern coast of Honshū on July 10, it became extratropical on July 11. Typhoon Soudelor, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Hanna, was the third most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 2015 after Hurricane Patricia and Cyclone Pam as well as the strongest tropical cyclone of the 2015 Pacific typhoon season.  Soudelor had severe impacts in the Northern Mariana Islands, Taiwan, and eastern China, resulting in 40 confirmed fatalities.  Lesser effects were felt in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines.  The thirteenth named storm of the annual typhoon season, Soudelor formed as a tropical depression near Pohnpei on July 29.  The system strengthened slowly at first before entering a period of rapid intensification on August 2.  Soudelor made landfall on Saipan later that day, causing extensive damage.  Owing to favorable environmental conditions, the typhoon further deepened and reached its peak intensity with ten-minute maximum sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph) and a central atmospheric pressure of 900 hPa (mbar; 26.58 inHg) on August 3.  The Joint Typhoon Warning Center assessed one-minute sustained winds at 285 km/h (180 mph), making Soudelor a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon.  Steady weakening ensued thereafter as the storm moved generally west-northwest.  Soudelor made landfall over Hualien, Taiwan, late on August 7 and emerged over in the Taiwan Strait early the next day.  The typhoon soon moved inland over eastern China and degraded to a tropical depression by August 9. The 1977 Pacific typhoon season was one of the least active Pacific typhoon seasons on record, with only 19 tropical storms forming.  It was also the second of the known typhoon seasons during the satellite era (since 1960) to not produce a Category 5 equivalent super typhoon. (After the 1974 season.)  The season's first storm, Severe Tropical Storm Patsy, formed on March 23 and the last, Typhoon Mary, dissipated on January 2, 1978.  With Mary spanning two calendar years, it became the fourth typhoon to do so since 1945.  Since then, two other typhoons have achieved this feat. The 2002 Pacific typhoon season was an active season, with many tropical cyclones affecting Japan and China.  Every month had tropical activity, with most storms forming from July through October.  Overall, there were 44 tropical depressions declared officially or unofficially, of which 26 became named storms; of those, there were 15 typhoons, which is the equivalent of a minimal hurricane, while 8 of the 15 typhoon intensified into super typhoons unofficially by the JTWC.
