The 2048 Pacific typhoon season is the most active season in recorded history of all time worldwide. It featured 71 tropical depressions, 62 named storms, 47 typhoons and TBO super typhoons, which activity is never seen in all of recorded tropical cyclone tracking history. The season is also the worst in terms of impact.
The season caused an estimated TBO deaths, and caused TBO in economic losses, mainly in the worst affected countries such as Philippines, Japan, China and Korea. The season also featured mega-colossal strength storms, with fifteen reaching Category 5 intensity. Six of the storms: Eiken, Surigae, Nida, Sagwa, Yolanda and Suette, reached winds more than 230 km/h (10-minute).
Aside from extreme activity, the season also featured unusual activity, like Nanmadol which made landfall in Malaysia as a Category 3, Balasik which later turned into a Category 4-strength extratropical cyclone which damaged most of Japan, and extreme crossovers like Iopa and Yolanda, with the latter reaching as far as Vietnam from it's origin in Eastern Pacific.
