context_page_description: This timeline documents all of the events of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season. Most of the tropical cyclones formed between May and November. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator between 100°E and the International Date Line. Tropical storms that form in the entire Western Pacific basin are assigned a name by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Tropical depressions that form in this basin are given a number with a "W" suffix by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center. In addition, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assigns names to tropical cyclones that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility. These names, however, are not in common use outside of the Philippines.
  During the season, 51 systems were designated as Tropical Depressions by either, the Japan Meteorological Agency, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, or other National Meteorological and Hydrological Services such as the China Meteorological Administration and the Hong Kong Observatory.
