1999 Pacific typhoon season
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 June and December. 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 Phillipine 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.
1999 storm names
Western North Pacific tropical cyclones were named by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center until the end of the 1999 season. This was the last year the following lists were used. The first storm of 1999 was named Hilda and the final one was named Gloria. Basin suffix included to show for example Tropical Storm 01W Hilda and Auring are the same storm.

One eastern pacific storm, Hurricane Dora 07E, crossed into the central pacific and then into this basin. It became Typhoon Dora keeping it's original name and "E" suffix.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones within its area of responsibility. Lists are recycled every four years. This is the same list used for the 1995 season, with the exception of Rening, which replaces Rosing.
