2026 TYPHOON NAMES IN PHILIPPINES – The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigned the names.
All tropical cyclones that form within or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) are given local names. These names are given by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
The PAGASA alternately uses four regular sets of local names, and each set has 25 names, arranged alphabetically. For each set, there’s a corresponding auxiliary set of names in case there are more than 25 tropical cyclones to enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) in a particular year.
These are the typhoon names for 2026:

The international names for tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific and the South China Sea are assigned by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center Tokyo–Typhoon Center, which is operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Meanwhile, in a previous article, PAGASA warned that eight tropical cyclones may hit the Philippines during the first half of 2026. The early months of the year are expected to be relatively calm, with little to no storms from January to April, while storm activity may increase in May and June.
Three strong earthquakes and two devastating typhoons have claimed the lives of around 370 people in the Philippines since September, with most of the fatalities recorded in Cebu. At least 122 individuals remain missing.
Typhoon Tino caused widespread destruction after bringing heavy rains and strong winds, resulting in 253 deaths and leaving 119 people missing as of November 26. More than 48,402 families sought shelter in nearly 500 evacuation centers, while around 5.5 million people were affected and displaced by the disaster.
