The 2013 NW Pacific typhoon season was a season of two halves. Activity was well below average until mid-September and then well above average thereafter. The most significant event of the 2013 NW Pacific typhoon season was typhoon Haiyan, an exceptionally powerful and deadly tropical cyclone that caused devastation across a swathe of the Philippines. The May and July forecasts performed well but the August forecast under-predicted activity.
