Tropical Depression 07W (Elang)

Typhoon Lewis (Huling)

Tropical Storm Marian (Ibiang)

Typhoon Nathan

Tropical Storm Ofelia (Luming)

Typhoon Percy (Miling)

Tropical Depression Narsing

On July 29, PAGASA initiated advisories on a poorly organised tropical depression. The depression moved slowly towards the north-west before it dissipated during the next day.^[3]

Typhoon Robyn (Openg)

The near equatorial trough spawned a tropical depression on July 30 over the open Western Pacific waters. It tracked to the west-northwest, becoming a tropical storm on the 2nd and a typhoon on the 4th. Robyn turned more to the northwest, where it reached a peak intensity of winds on the 7th. It weakened to a typhoon before hitting southwestern Japan on the 9th, and became extratropical on the 11th over the Sea of Japan. Robyn caused 45 fatalities, 39 of which were from traffic related accidents, and $68 million in damage (1993 USD).

Typhoon Steve (Pining)

Tropical Depression 15W

Typhoon Tasha (Rubing)

Typhoon Keoni

Keoni formed southeast of the Big Island of Hawaii on August 9, and was later classified as a named system south of the island chain. Keoni peaked as an intense Category 4 hurricane over open waters and lasted until the 29th, crossing the International Date Line and becoming a typhoon in the western Pacific, but never affected land.

Typhoon Vernon

Tropical Storm Winona (Saling)

Typhoon Yancy (Tasing)

The monsoon trough formed a tropical depression on August 27. It headed generally westward, reaching tropical storm strength on the 30th and typhoon strength on the 31st. Yancy turned to the northeast, where it rapidly intensified to a super typhoon on the 2nd. The storm weakened to a typhoon before making landfall on southwestern Japan on the 3rd, and dissipated 2 days later over the Sea of Japan. Yancy brought strong winds to Japan, amounting to 42 casualties and widespread damage.

Tropical Storm Zola (Unsing)

Typhoon Abe (Walding)

Typhoon Becky (Yeyeng)

Typhoon Cecil

Typhoon Dot (Anding)

Typhoon Ed (Binang)

Typhoon Flo (Kadiang)

Typhoon Flo hit the northern Philippines on October 4 as a minimal typhoon, having developed on the 28th from the monsoon trough. It stalled just off the west coast, and turned northeastward, becoming extratropical on the 8th. Flo caused at least 50 deaths from the heavy flooding on Luzon.

Tropical Storm Gene (Dinang)

Tropical Depression 28W (Epang)

Tropical Storm Hattie

Typhoon Ira (Husing)

Tropical Storm Jeana

Tropical Depression 32W (Indang)

Tropical Depression 33W

Typhoon Kyle (Luring)

Typhoon Lola (Monang)

The near equatorial trough spawned a tropical depression on November 27. It moved westward without significant development until December 2, when it became a tropical storm. Lola became a typhoon 2 days later, and hit the Philippines on the 5th. It weakened to a tropical storm after crossing the islands, but restrengthened to a typhoon before hitting southern Vietnam on the 8th. Lola quickly dissipated, not after causing 308 fatalities, 230 of which were in the Philippines from the heavy rains.

Typhoon Manny (Naning)

Manny, like Lola, developed from the near equatorial trough on December 1. It headed westward, slowly strengthening to a tropical storm on the 4th. Due to a ridge to the north, it looped on the 7th and 8th and became a typhoon on the way. While heading southwestward towards the Philippines, Manny rapidly intensified to a typhoon before hitting the Philippines late on the 9th. It weakened over the islands, and upper level winds kept it from restrengthening much over the South China Sea. Manny dissipated on the 16th over the Malay Peninsula, after causing 230 deaths, only one week after Lola hit the same area. Manny's track was unusual, given its time of year with a loop and a strengthening period to the southwest. However, it has a near perfect analog; Typhoon Pamela in the 1982 Pacific typhoon season took a nearly identical track within days of Manny (though Pamela was much weaker than Manny).

Tropical Depression Oning

This system was not recognised by the JTWC.

Typhoon Nell (Puring)

1993 storm names

Western North Pacific tropical cyclones were named by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The first storm of 1993 was named Irma and the final one was named Nell.

One central Pacific storm, Hurricane Keoni, crossed into this basin. It became Typhoon Keoni, keeping its original name and "C" suffix.

Philippines

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) used its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones within its area of responsibility. Lists were recycled every four years. This was the list set for 1993.^[4]

Because the season exhausted the seasonal names, they used the following names. This was the first time since 1971 that extra names were needed in the Philippine region.
