The '''1999 Pacific typhoon season''' has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1999, but most [[tropical cyclones]] tend to form in the northwestern [[Pacific Ocean]] between May and November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern [[Pacific Ocean]].
The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the [[international date line]]. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see [[1999 Pacific hurricane season]]. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the [[Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration]] or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.

The [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] (JTWC) issued a [[Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert]] for a developing broad circulation which stretched out from the northwest [[Borneo]] coast early on [[January 4]]. This developed into a tropical depression and moved slowly to the north away from the Borneo coast, becoming Tropical Storm Hilda early on [[January 6]]. Soon after reaching its peak strength of 65 [[kilometres per hour|km/h]] (40 [[miles per hour|mph]]) Hilda drifted further north into an area of increased wind shear, which caused the storm to dissipate the next day.<ref name="HildaATCR">{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page6.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Tropical Storm Hilda (01W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref> Both [[Japan Meteorological Agency]] and [[PAGASA]] tracked this system, but considered it a tropical depression.

A low pressure area 220 km (140 miles) to the west of [[Yap]] developed into a tropical depression on [[April 6]]. It gradually developed as it moved to the west, becoming a strong depression with 55 km/h (35 mph) winds. It then began to accelerate to the northwest, becoming a minimal tropical storm as it did so. However, this northwards motion brought it into a region of increased shear, which weakened it back into a tropical depression. The low level circulation became completely exposed and the weakening system made landfall on southern [[Luzon]] on [[April 10]].<ref name="JacobATCR">{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page8.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Tropical Storm Jacob (03W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref> PAGASA named the system ''Karing'' and considered it a tropical depression.<ref name="AprSummary">{{cite web|url=http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/1999/summ9904.txt|author=Padgett, Gary|title=Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary: April 1999|accessdate=2007-02-17}}</ref>

On [[April 22]], a tropical disturbance which had developed in the [[Philippine Sea]] moved over [[Mindanao]] and intensified into a tropical depression whilst it was still overland. The depression soon moved overwater again as it tracked north to the east of the Philippines, becoming Tropical Storm Kate the next day. The JTWC initially forecast that the storm would only intensify slightly, as they predicted it to move north-northeast into an unfavorable environment. However, Kate instead moved on a more northerly route and entered an area with minimal wind shear. On [[April 26]] Kate became a typhoon, the first of the season, and reached its peak strength with 140 km/h (85 mph) soon after. Later that day, the typhoon's motion acclerated to the northeast and it passed 9 km (6 miles) to the north of [[Iwo Jima]]. Kate then began to lose its convection and became an [[extratropical]] on [[April 28]] to the northeast of Iwo Jima.<ref name="KateATCR">{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page9.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Typhoon Kate (04W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref>

In late April a circulation began to develop within a monsoon depression in the [[South China Sea]], forming into a tropical depression on [[April 27]] when it was 710 km (440 miles) to the west of [[Manila]]. It strengthened as it moved to the west and became Tropical Storm Leo the next day. The storm then performed a cyclonic loop off the Vietnamese coast and began to intensify, becoming a typhoon as it moved to the northeast. As it moved towards China under a high-level ridge Typhoon Leo rapidly intensified to its peak with 205 km/h (125 mph) winds. However, it did not sustain this for long as it then moved northeast into a high shear environment and it weakened as it moved to the north. Leo made landfall on [[May 2]] as a tropical depression, after the convection had become separated from the circulation of the storm and soon dissipated overland.<ref name="LeoATCR">{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page10.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Typhoon Leo (05W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref>

The sixth tropical depression of the season formed in the monsoon trough to the east of the Philippines on [[June 1]]. The system intensifed as it moved to the north, becoming Typhoon Maggie 36 hours after it had formed. The typhoon intensified further as it began to head to the northwest into the [[Luzon Strait]] and it reached its peak with 195 [[kilometres per hour|km/h]] (120 [[miles per hour|mph]]) winds on [[June 5]]. The typhoon turned further to the west as it began to interact with [[Taiwan]] and started to weaken slowly. Maggie made landfall as a 150 km/h (90 mph) typhoon in southeastern China, to the east of Hong Kong on [[June 6]]. The storm then moved along the Chinese coast weakening as it did so. Maggie passed just to the north of Hong Kong before it turned into the mouth of the [[Pearl River (China)|Pearl River]] and dissipated inland on [[June 8]].<ref name="MaggieATCR">{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page11.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Typhoon Maggie (06W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref> Both the JMA and PAGASA considered Maggie a typhoon, and PAGASA named this storm ''Etang''.<ref name="JunSummary">{{cite web|url=http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/1999/summ9906.txt|author=Padgett, Gary|title=Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary: June 1999|accessdate=2007-02-17}}</ref>

Two oil barges docked in the territory sank, one fully laden with oil which polluted a nearby beach. There were 5 injuries resulting from Maggie in the territory and the total damages were approximately $100,000. The typhoon killed four people and damaged over 3000 homes in [[Guangdong]]. At least 120 vessels were also damaged and there was more than $150 million of direct economic damage in the province.<ref name="MaggieHKO">{{cite web|url=http://www.weather.gov.hk/publica/tc/tc1999.pdf#page=42|format=PDF|pages=pp. 42-49|title=Typhoon Maggie (9903)|work=Tropical cyclones in 1999|author=[[Hong Kong Observatory]]|year=2000|month=April|accessdate=2007-02-18}}</ref> Maggie also brought rain of up to 100 mm (4 inches) to northern Vietnam, causing some localised flooding.<ref name="MaggieUSDA">{{cite web|url=http://usda.mannlib.cornell.edu/usda/waob/weather_weekly//1990s/1999/weather_weekly-06-15-1999.pdf#page=26|format=pdf|pages=p. 26|title=Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin|author=[[United States Department of Agriculture|USDA]]|coauthors=[[NOAA]]|date=[[1999-06-15]]|accessdate=2007-02-17}}</ref>

On [[July 23]], a disturbance began to form in the Philippine Sea within the monsoon trough. The convection gradually consolidated as the disturbance moved north and the ninth tropical despression of the season formed on [[July 25]] south of Okinawa. The depression passed near to the Japanese island and soon strengthened into Tropical Storm Neil. The storm turned slightly westward towards the Korean peninsula and reached its peak strength with 75 km/h (45 mph) winds on [[July 26]]. Neil made landfall to the southwest of [[Suncheon]] the next day as a minimal tropical storm and soon reemerged over the [[Yellow Sea]] as a tropical depression. There it interacted with a mid-latitude trough, that redirected back towards South Korea and it made a second landfall 35 km (25 miles) southwest of [[Seoul]] on [[July 28]]. Neil then quickly dissipated overland.<ref name="NeilATCR">{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page14.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Tropical Storm Neil (09W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref>
Both the JMA and PAGASA considered Neil a tropical storm, with PAGASA naming it ''Helming''. Unusually, PAGASA assessed the storm as having reached a peak on [[July 22]], when the JTWC still considered it a developing disturbance.

Early in August, a low-level circulation center within a monsoon [[gyre]] to the southwest of Guam. On [[August 2]] the JTWC issued a TCFA for the devleoping disturbance as it moved to the northwest, and it became Tropical Depression 12W the next day. On [[August 4]] the depression became Tropical Storm Paul and began to merge with the gyre from which it had formed. As it merged with the gyre Paul strengthened to its peak with 95 km/h (60 mph) winds, to the east of Okinawa. After the two systems had merged, Paul turned briefly to the northeast and weakened to back into a tropical depression. The depression moved to the west brushing the south coast of Kyūshū on [[August 6]] before dissipating in the [[Yellow Sea]].<ref name="PaulATCR">{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page17.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Tropical Storm Paul (12W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref>
Tropical Storm Paul was highly unusual in that it formed from a monsoon gyre and then merged with it. Mergers of such systems rarely occur, it is much more common for tropical cyclones which form in this manner to move independently of the non-tropical system. Paul was also considered a tropical storm by the JMA, who reported that the rainfall from the storm caused landslides and flooding in western Japan.<ref name="PaulATCR"/>

A tropical disturbance formed within a monsoon trough just of the Chinese coast on [[August 6]]. The disturbance strengthened and became Tropical Storm Rachel as it moved east towards Taiwan. Rachel weakened back into a depression before it made landfall on the island and it dissipated over the [[Chungyang mountains]] on [[August 7]]. The remnants moved northeast into the [[East China Sea]] and the system redeveloped into a tropical depression the next day as it approached Okinawa. Rachel briefly became a minimal tropical storm for a second time as it approached the Japanese island, before it turned to the northwest. The storm entered an increasingly unfavorable environment and rapidly weakened on [[August 9]].<ref name="RachelATCR">{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page18.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Typhoon Rachel (13W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref> Damage from Tropical Storm Rachel is unknown.

Tanya continued to slowly intensify, reaching its peak as a 130 km/h (80 mph) typhoon on [[August 22]]. The next day Tanya began to recurve through a weakness in the ridge to its north and increasing wind shear weakened the storm.

As the storm crossed the Date Line, the JTWC assumed responsibility for the storm and downgraded it to a tropical storm on its first advisory. Once in the West Pacific, Tropical Storm Dora turned towards the northwest and weakened further as wind shear increased.

A disturbed area of weather to the south of [[Hong Kong]] in the South China Sea became more organized early on [[September 23]], and the JTWC issued a TCFA for the system. It developed into the 25th depression of the season a few hours later and began to track to the northeast, under the influence of a mid-level ridge to the east. The depression gradually intensified becoming Tropical Storm Cam on [[September 24]] and reaching its peak with 75 km/h (45 mph) later that day, as its motion gradually turned towards the north. As it neared the Chinese coast a strong ridge to the north turned Cam abruptly to the west, towards Hong Kong and it began to weaken. The JTWC issued its last warning while the storm was still at sea, shortly before it made landfall over Hong Kong with 35 km/h (25 mph) winds. The storm dissipated over China on [[September 26]].<ref name="CamATCR">{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page30.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Tropical Storm Cam (25W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref>
As Tropical Storm Cam approached Hong Kong, the HKO hoisted the [[Hong Kong tropical cyclone warning signals|No. 8 Signal]] for the fifth time in the year, the last time this had occurred was in 1964. The highest gust recorded on land was 121 km/h (75 mph) on [[Tai Mo Shan]], and 41 mm (1.6 inches) of rain fell on Hong Kong. Cam was responsible for 23 injuries in Hong Kong and one death in a ship off [[Stonecutters Island]].

Typhoon Dan reached its peak with 205 km/h (125 mph) early on [[October 5]] and hit northern Luzon at that strength. The typhoon weakened as it entered the South China Sea, but re-intensified as it turned towards the north. Typhoon Dan made its second landfall near [[Xiamen]], [[China]] on [[October 9]] and weakened overland.

In mid-November, a persistent area of circulation developed at the end of a shear line to the east of [[Samar (island)|Samar]]. It began to become more organized as it moved to the north on [[November 12]] and became a tropical depression the next day. The cyclone continued to slowly intensify, becoming Tropical Storm Gloria as it turned the northeast, when it was well to the east of Luzon. Gloria began to accelerate to the northeast under the influence of an upper level flow and maintained its strength. The storm passed east of Okinawa on [[November 15]], when the shear markedly reduced and allowed a rapid intensification to typhoon strength. Gloria briefly peaked as a 120 km/h (75 mph) typhoon later that day, before weakening as it started to become [[extratropical]]. Typhoon Gloria became fully extratropical on [[November 16]], having weakened back into a tropical storm.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr/ch1/chap1_page35.html|author=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|title=Typhoon Gloria (30W)|accessdate=2007-02-17|work=1999 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report}}</ref>
