According to the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the 1971 season was the most active season since 1967, with a total of 35 tropical storms being monitored by them during the year. In addition to the 35 tropical storms, the Japan Meteorological Agency considered Tropical Depression 25W to be an additional tropical storm, which was only classified as a tropical depression by the JTWC.

38 tropical depressions formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which 35 became tropical storms. 24 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 6 reached super typhoon strength. The season had an extremely active start, with 11 storms forming before July 1 and 19 storms before August 1. According to the JMA, three named storms formed in April and eight in July. Those totals are records for any season. Also, four named storms formed in May, a record tied with the 1980 season. --

Systems

Severe Tropical Storm Sarah

|1-min winds=50

During January 8, the JMA started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed, about 500 km to the east of Ngerulmud, Palau. Over the next day the system gradually developed further as it moved north-westwards, before it was classified as a tropical storm and named Sarah by the JTWC, after a US Navy plane had found an organised system. The system subsequently recurved north-eastwards, before it was classified as a Severe Tropical Storm by the JMA during January 10. During that day, the JTWC reported that the system had peaked, with 1-minute sustained wind-speeds of 95 km/h (60 mph). Over the next day, the system quickly weakened and became an extratropical cyclone during January 11. Sarah's extratropical remnants were subsequently tracked as they moved north-eastwards, until it made landfall on Canada and broke up over the mountains of British Columbia during January 17.

Tropical Storm Thelma (Bebeng)

|1-min winds=45 On March 16, a tropical depression formed to the south of Guam. It immediately entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, earning the local name Bebeng. It executed a small loop to the east of Mindanao before it traveled to the northwest. It exited the Area of Responsibility as a tropical storm before transitioning to an extratropical storm, southwest of Minami-Tori-shima. The extratropical storm weakened and dissipated on March 21, to the south-southeast of Japan.

Typhoon Vera (Karing)

|1-min winds=90

Typhoon Wanda (Diding)

|1-min winds=75 On April 23 Tropical Storm Wanda began its life to the east of the Philippines. It tracked over the archipelago, and emerged into the South China Sea on the 25th. It turned to the northwest, and became a typhoon on May 1 just off the coast of South Vietnam. The westerlies brought Wanda to the north and northeast, where it weakened until dissipating on the 4th near Hainan Island.

The storm caused 56 deaths (with 14 missing) and $700,000 in damage (1971 USD) from the heavy flooding across the Philippines. While Wanda brushed the coast of Vietnam, the United States Army grounded most aircraft in northern areas and skirmishes related to the Vietnam War temporarily decreased until the storm passed by. In Quảng Ngãi Province, 23 people were killed.

Typhoon Amy

|1-min winds=150 According to the JTWC best track, Amy was first noted as a tropical depression early on April 29. Amy reached tropical storm status shortly afterwards, and became a typhoon by early on May 1. The cyclone then rapidly intensified into a Category 5 super typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of 280 km/h (175 mph) on May 2, with the JMA estimating a minimum central pressure of 890 mb (hPa; 26.28 inHg), although the JTWC estimated a slightly higher pressure of 895 mbar (hPa; 26.43 inHg), while noting a compact eye 10 nautical miles across. Although Amy weakened to a Category 4 super typhoon on May 3, it regained Category 5 intensity later that day, with 1-minute sustained winds of 260 km/h (160 mph) and a central pressure of 900 mb (hPa; 26.58 inHg). The storm began to weaken by May 4 and was last noted as producing tropical-storm force winds on May 7, after which Amy was absorbed by a frontal system.

In deepening to 890 mb, Amy became the most intense typhoon on record in May. On Truk Atoll, now known as Chuuk Atoll, one person was killed after a coconut tree fell on him. On May 18, the Federated States of Micronesia was declared a disaster area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The weather station and over 2,250 homes were destroyed on Namonuito Atoll.

Severe Tropical Storm Babe (Etang)

|1-min winds=55

Severe Tropical Storm Carla (Gening)

|1-min winds=50

Typhoon Dinah (Herming)

|1-min winds=90 Across the Philippines, 13 people were killed and another 14 were reported missing. Total damage in the country reached ₱4 million.

Tropical Storm Emma (Ising)

|1-min winds=35

Typhoon Freda (Luding)

|1-min winds=75

Typhoon Gilda (Mameng)

|1-min winds=90 One person was killed and damage reached ₱8 million across the Philippines.

Typhoon Harriet (Neneng)

|1-min winds=125 Across the Philippines, Harriet was responsible for one fatality.

Striking near the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam as a powerful typhoon, Harriet caused significant disruptions to the Vietnam War. Military operations on both sides were temporarily halted, with all United States helicopters grounded. Ground movement was severely limited as well. Despite the intensity of the storm, damage was relatively light, with Camp Eagle reporting some roofs blown off from 120 km/h (75 mph) winds. In Đà Nẵng, between 8 and of rain fell and strong winds knocked out power to the area. A 24‑hour maximum rainfall of 10.16 in was measured in Camp Evans. Throughout Vietnam, four people were killed and fourteen others were reported missing. Thừa Thiên Province sustained the most significant damage, with 2,500 homes damaged or destroyed.

Severe Tropical Storm Ivy

|1-min winds=60

Severe Tropical Storm Kim (Oniang)

|1-min winds=50

Typhoon Jean (Pepang)

|1-min winds=85

Typhoon Lucy (Rosing)

|1-min winds=130 The strongest typhoon to strike the Philippines that year, this cyclone moved towards the region from the Marianas as a slow pace. Gusty southwest winds impacted western portions of Visayas and Luzon, including Manila, as the cyclone passed by on the 21st. The highest winds recorded were 190 km/h at Basco in Batanes. Heavy rains caused by the strong onshore flow led to heavy rains, which peaked at 379.5 mm at Baguio City within 24 hours. The heavy rains led to severe flooding and landslides in north-central sections of the Philippines.

Typhoon Mary

|1-min winds=80

Typhoon Nadine (Sisang)

|1-min winds=150 Typhoon Nadine, which formed on July 20, rapidly intensified to a peak of 175 mi/h on the 24th. It weakened slightly as it continued its northwest movement, and struck eastern Taiwan on the 25th with winds of over 100 mi/h. Nadine dissipated the next day over China, after causing 28 deaths (with 25 missing) and heavy damage on Taiwan from the flooding. Nadine also caused the crash of a Pan American cargo aircraft, killing all four people in the crew.

Typhoon Olive

Main article: Typhoon Olive (1971)

|1-min winds=85 85 mi/h Typhoon Olive, which developed on July 29 from the near equatorial trough, hit southwestern Japan on August 4. It continued northward, and became extratropical in the Sea of Japan. Olive's heavy rains resulted in numerous mudslides, killing 69 people. It disrupted the Boy Scout XIII World Jamboree, being held in Japan.

Severe Tropical Storm Polly (Trining)

|1-min winds=40

Typhoon Rose (Uring)

|1-min winds=120 Main article: Typhoon Rose (1971)

A small circulation near Chuuk organized into Tropical Storm Rose on August 10. An extremely small cyclone with a wind field of 150 nmi across, Rose quickly strengthened, and became a typhoon later that day. It briefly weakened to a tropical storm on the 11th, but restrengthened to a typhoon as it continued westward. On August 13, Typhoon Rose made landfall on Palanan, Isabela with winds of 130 mi/h. It weakened to a minimal typhoon over the mountainous terrain, but after reemerging in the South China Sea, Rose rapidly intensified, and peaked at 140 mi/h winds on the 16th. As it approached the coast of Hong Kong, the inflow became disrupted, but Rose still hit as a 100 mi/h typhoon on the 16th. The typhoon dissipated the next day, after causing 130 deaths in Hong Kong and leaving 5,600 people homeless. A Macao ferry was capsized, resulting in the loss of its 88-person crew.

Typhoon Shirley

|1-min winds=90

Typhoon Trix

|1-min winds=100 An upper-level low contributed to the birth of Tropical Storm Trix on August 20. After drifting northward, the storm turned to the west in response to the building of the subtropical ridge. Trix slowly strengthened after becoming a typhoon on the 21st, and reached a peak of 115 mi/h winds on the 28th. Trix recurved, and struck southwestern Japan on the 29th as a 95 mi/h typhoon. It accelerated to the northeast, and became extratropical on the 30th. Just weeks after Typhoon Olive, Trix dropped more heavy rain to the country, in one case as much as 43 in of rain. Trix caused 44 deaths, with heavy crop damage amounting to $50.6 million.

Tropical Storm 25W

|1-min winds=30

Typhoon Virginia

|1-min winds=100 Within one month of Typhoons Trix and Olive, Typhoon Virginia came up the Japanese coast with winds of 80 mi/h. It became extratropical on September 7 just east of Japan, after dropping more heavy rain causing 56 casualties from numerous landslides.

Typhoon Wendy

|1-min winds=140

Tropical Depression 28W

|1-min winds=25

Typhoon Agnes (Warling)

|1-min winds=75

Typhoon Bess (Yayang)

|1-min winds=140 Super Typhoon Bess, having peaked at 160 mi/h on July 5, tracked west-northwestward. The typhoon weakened as it continued its movement, and struck eastern Taiwan on the 22nd as a 130 mi/h typhoon. It rapidly weakened over the country, and dissipated on the 10th over China. The typhoon caused heavy flooding, resulting in 32 deaths and moderate crop damage.

Severe Tropical Storm Carmen

|1-min winds=50

Typhoon Della (Ading)

|1-min winds=70

Typhoon Elaine (Barang)

|1-min winds=100

Severe Tropical Storm Faye-Gloria (Krising-Dadang)

|1-min winds=65 A tropical disturbance east of the Marianas Islands developed into Tropical Storm Faye on October 4. After peaking at 75 mi/h on the 5th, Faye became very disorganized, and weakened to a tropical depression on the 7th. At this time, there were several circulations, so it is possible that Faye was absorbed by another disturbance to its south. Regardless, the storm re-organized as it approached the Philippines. Faye crossed the islands on the 10th as a minimal tropical storm, and again became a typhoon in the South China Sea on the 11th. Steering currents became weak, and a northwest flow forced Faye southeastward back into the Philippines. Faye crossed the islands on the 12th, and dissipated on the 13th, after causing torrential rainfall killing 13 people with 80 missing.

Typhoon Hester (Goying)

|1-min winds=90 Main article: Typhoon Hester (1971)

Developing as a tropical depression on October 18 near Palau Island, Hester gradually intensified as it moved westward towards the Philippines. Across the Philippines, Hester was responsible for six deaths and ₱5 million in damage. After passing over Mindanao and the Visayas as a tropical storm between October 20 and 21, the storm intensified into a typhoon before striking Palawan. Once over the South China Sea, Hester further strengthened and ultimately attained peak winds of 165 km/h (105 mph). On October 23, the storm made landfall near Huế, South Vietnam. Once onshore, Hester rapidly weakened and dissipated on October 24 over Laos.

The most significant impact from Typhoon Hester was felt in South Vietnam were winds in excess of 155 km/h (100 mph) caused extensive damage to several United States Army bases. The hardest hit base was in Chu Lai where three Americans were killed. At least 75 percent of the structures in the base sustained damage and 123 aircraft were damaged or destroyed. Newspaper reports indicated that 100 Vietnamese lost their lives due to the storm, including 33 following a plane crash near Quy Nhơn. In the wake of the storm, the South Vietnamese government provided the hardest hit areas with relief funds and supplies.

Tropical Depression Hobing

|10-min winds=30

Typhoon Irma (Ining)

|1-min winds=155 The strongest typhoon of the season, Irma, reached a peak intensity of 180 mi/h on November 11. It remained at sea, affecting only shipping and causing minor damage to the islands of the West Pacific. At the time, the typhoon held the record for the fastest intensification in a 24‑hour period, deepening from 980 mbar to 884 mbar but it was beaten by Typhoon Forrest of 1983.

Severe Tropical Storm Judy

|1-min winds=45

Storm names

International names

During the season, 35 named tropical cyclones developed in the Western Pacific and were named by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The names were drawn sequentially from a set of four alphabetical naming lists and were all feminine. Faye-Gloria was recognized as only one storm.

Philippines

The Philippine Weather Bureau uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 6 of which are published each year before the season starts. Names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1975 season. This is the same list used for the 1967 season, except for Warling, which replaced Welming. The agency uses its own naming scheme that starts in the Filipino alphabet, with names of Filipino female names ending with "ng" (A, B, K, D, etc.). Names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in .

Season effects

This is a table of all of the storms that have formed in the 1971 Pacific typhoon season. It includes their duration, names, affected areas, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 1971 USD.
