List of retired Pacific typhoon names (JMA)
Previously, the JMA labeled storms with numbers, but not names. The JMA has been the official warning agency of the western Pacific Ocean since 1981, though other organizations have also tracked typhoons. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) unofficially named tropical cyclones from 1947 to 1999.[1] During this time period, there were several pre-determined tropical cyclone lists, in which many names were removed and replaced with others.[2] The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) names tropical cyclones using a separate list, which is adjusted periodically.[3] Several names were removed from the list. In 2002, the name Hanuman was retired prior to being used, due to objection by the India Meteorological Department for reason of religion.[4] Additionally, the name Kodo was retired in 2002 without being used.[5] In 2004, the names Yanyan and Tingting were removed at the request of the Hong Kong Observatory.[5][6] A total of nine names on the list had their spellings changed.[5]
Typhoon Maemi near peak intensity This is a list of all Pacific typhoons that have had their names retired by the Japan Meteorological Agency. A total of 16 typhoon names have been retired since the start of official tropical cyclone naming in the western North Pacific Ocean in 2000. Tropical cyclone names are retired by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in a meeting in November, December or January. Those typhoons that have their names retired tend to be exceptionally destructive storms. Several names were removed or altered naming list for various reasons other than retirement. Collectively, retired typhoons caused over $30 billion in damage (2008 USD), as well as over 3,800 deaths.

General information
In 2000, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) began naming tropical cyclones from a list of 140 names, submitted by 14 countries.

This lists all retired typhoon by their peak intensity, which is determined by measurements of the minimum central pressure. Name Max. 10-min. average sustained wind Knots Km/h Mph Vamei Bilis Matsa 45 60 80 85 120 150 50 70 90 Min. central pressure Mbar (hPa) 1006 970 955
Listed by damage
This lists all retired Pacific typhoons by their total damages (in 2008 USD). Typhoon names are generally retired for one of two reasons, either because they were particularly damaging or particularly deadly. Some data may be incomplete and account for damages in only one location while the storm affected several areas. Calculation of modernday damage amounts is done using the Consumer Price Index.[8]

Listed by deaths
This lists retired Pacific typhoons by the number of deaths they caused. Typhoons names are generally retired for one of two reasons, either because they were particularly damaging or particularly deadly. Most storms cause fatalities not by their high winds but rather through flooding—either storm surge or inland flooding due to rainfall. Storm surge has the highest potential for deaths. With modern forecasting, warning, and evacuations, storm surge deaths can be nearly eliminated; however, the potential is still very high for catastrophe in places where warning systems are not in place or if
