China Meteorological Administration
During the season, 51 systems were designated as tropical depressions by the JMA, the PAGASA, the JTWC or other national meteorological and hydrological services, such as the China Meteorological Administration and the Hong Kong Observatory. Since it runs the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre for the western Pacific Ocean, the JMA assigns names to tropical depressions if they intensify into a tropical storm. PAGASA assigns local names to tropical depressions which form within its area of responsibility. During this season, 25 systems entered (or formed) in the Philippine area of responsibility; 11 made landfall over the Philippines.
