A persistent low-pressure area south of Kusaie was first noted on March 14. The origins of the cyclonic circulation remain disputed, with one hypothesis indicating initial development south of Nauru and another suggesting that the system originated from a minor tropical wave east of the Marshall Islands. Nonetheless, southeasterly flow associated with an unusually strong high pressure area positioned over northeastern Australia aided the tropical cyclogenesis of the disturbance,{{cite report|type=Technical Meteorological Report|title=Operation Greenhouse|url=http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf&AD=ADA296857|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801180038/http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf&AD=ADA296857|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 1, 2013|publisher=Defense Technical Information Center|accessdate=18 July 2013|author=Pate, Elbert W.|author2=Taylor, George F.|format=PDF|date=September 1951}} and at 1200 UTC on March 18, the circulation developed into a tropical depression. In its initial stages, the disturbance steadily intensified as it moved in a northeasterly direction, attaining tropical storm strength by 1800 UTC the next day. At 0600 UTC on March 20, Georgia reached typhoon intensity;{{cite web|title=IrBTRACS For the Northern Hemisphere|url=ftp://eclipse.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/ibtracs/v03r04/wmo/hurdat_format/NorthernHemisphere.ibtracs_hurdat.v03r04.hdat|work=International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship|publisher=United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center|accessdate=19 July 2013|format=FTP}} however, the Guam Fleet Warning Center only issued its first typhoon bulletin on the tropical cyclone at 0600 UTC the following day, by which time Georgia already had winds of {{convert|185|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}, equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. At the same time, the typhoon began to develop an eye. Subsequently, Georgia attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of {{convert|220|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}, equivalent to a modern-day Category 4 hurricane. Afterwards, the intense typhoon began to quickly lose organization and strength, and degenerated into a remnant low after 0600 UTC on March 25, coinciding with the last typhoon bulletin issued by the Guam Fleet Warning Center. The remnants tracked westward before dissipating after 0600 UTC on March 28.{{cite web|title=Typhoon 195102 (GEORGIA)|url=http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/digital-typhoon/summary/wnp/l/195102.html.en|work=Digital Typhoon Detailed Track Information|publisher=National Institute of Informatics|accessdate=18 July 2013|author=Digital Typhoon|date=March 19, 2013}}

As a developing tropical system, the precursor to Georgia and resultant tropical depression moved near Kusaie, producing a peak rainfall total of {{convert|137|mm|in|abbr=on}} over a three-day period and gusts in excess of {{convert|95|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. On March 20, Georgia passed to the south of Kwajalein. As such, the island's station observed "strong surface winds" and {{convert|236|mm|in|abbr=on}} of rain in an eighteen-hour period. As a weakening tropical cyclone, Georgia threatened Wake Island and Eniwetok Atoll; the latter of which was expected to be the site of American nuclear testing operations.{{cite news|title=Typhoon Heading For Atomic Blast Testing Grounds At Eniwetok|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=zCBRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=x9AMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3751,2433836&dq=typhoon&hl=en|accessdate=18 July 2013|newspaper=Schenectady Gazette|date=March 22, 2013|agency=Associated Press|location=Schenectady, New York|pages=1, 10|volume=57|issue=149}} Though both islands were warned of by the Guam Fleet Weather Center, however, the typhoon had weakened considerably before reaching them, and effects remained marginal.

In early April, several cyclonic vortices were noted south of the Marshall Islands. One of these circulation centers tracked westward and later developed into a tropical depression near Micronesia early on April 15.{{cite report|type=Air Weather Service Technical Report|title=1951 Annual Report Of Typhoon Post-Analysis Program|url=http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/038469.pdf|publisher=Defense Technical Information Center|accessdate=20 July 2013|author=Air Weather Service|author2=Military Air Transport Service|author3=United States Air Force|format=PDF|date=September 1951|location=Washington, D.C.|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303233202/http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/038469.pdf|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title=1951 02W:HOPE (1951105N08152)|url={{IBTRACS url|id=1951105N08152}}|work=International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship|publisher=University of North Carolina-Asheville|accessdate=20 July 2013}} Steadily intensifying, the disturbance intensified into a tropical storm by 1800 UTC the next day. At roughly the same time, Hope began to curve slightly to the north. The Guam Fleet Warning Center estimated that the tropical storm intensified into a typhoon by 1800 UTC on April 17, before strengthening further to reach its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of {{convert|130|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} at 0000 UTC. At the same time, the weather center at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam began issuing bulletins on the storm. Shortly after, Hope executed a small anticyclonic loop, which resulted in the tropical cyclone tracking westward. After this loop was completed, however, the typhoon began to weaken. This weakening trend continued, and the Guam Fleet Warning Center ceased the issuance of bulletins at 1200 UTC on April 20, by which time Hope was deemed too weak to be classified as a tropical cyclone. However, the China Meteorological Agency (CMA), in analysis of the system, determined that Hope had persisted up until late on April 23 before dissipating.

Midday on April 30, Iris intensified into the equivalent of a modern-day typhoon as it moved in a slightly oscillatory path towards the Philippines. After a slight fluctuation in intensity during the overnight hours of May 1, Iris rapidly intensified to reach its peak intensity with a minimum pressure of {{convert|909|mbar|hPa inHg|abbr=on}} and maximum sustained winds of {{convert|280|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} early on May 4, making it the equivalent of a Category 5 super typhoon; at the time this was the first confirmed instance of a typhoon reaching such intensities. Afterwards, Iris weakened slightly before making landfall on South Luzon around 1800 UTC the following day.

After passing and weakening through the Philippines, Iris emerged into the South China Sea on May 6 as a tropical storm. At the same time, it began to recurve towards the northeast. On May 9, Iris reached a secondary peak intensity south of the Ryukyu Islands with winds of {{convert|160|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}, before subsequently weakening. Afterwards, the tropical cyclone underwent extratropical transition, though the timing of such an event is disputed between the JMA and the CMA, with the former indicating that such a transition occurred on May 11,{{cite web|title=Typhoon 195104 (IRIS)|url=http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/digital-typhoon/summary/wnp/l/195104.html.en|work=Digital Typhoon Detailed Track Information|publisher=National Institute of Informatics|accessdate=20 July 2013|author=Digital Typhoon|date=March 19, 2013}} and the latter indicating a transition on May 14.

A stationary trough of low pressure persisted near Nauru towards the end of April and into early May, producing heavy rains; a station on the island received {{convert|8.16|in|mm|abbr=on}} in a 24-hour period from the system. An interaction between the trough and a passing tropical wave resulted in the formation of an organized disturbance on May 2 that tracked initially northwestward before taking a more westerly course. According to the JTWC, the system became sufficiently organized to be considered a tropical cyclone on May 3, though the JMA indicates cyclogenesis three days later.{{cite web|title=1951 04W:JOAN (1951124N04167)|url=http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_current/browse-ibtracs/index.php?name=v03r09-1951124N04167|work=International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship|publisher=University of North Carolina-Asheville|accessdate=December 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181223121021/http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_current/browse-ibtracs/index.php?name=v03r09-1951124N04167|archive-date=December 23, 2018|url-status=dead}} After some fluctuations in its strength in its nascent stages, Joan curved towards the northeast and strengthened into a typhoon on May 8, peaking that day with winds of {{convert|140|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} and a minimum pressure of {{convert|980|mbar|hPa inHg|abbr=on}}. Concurrently, the typhoon stalled and traced out a clockwise loop for roughly a day before resuming a course towards the northwest. Gradual weakening ensued, and the system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone after May 12; the system would dissipate three days later.

A disturbance was first noted in the vicinity of Micronesia on June 17 approximately {{convert|400|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of Guam. Aircraft traversing between Guam and the Philippines eventually confirmed the presence of a developing tropical depression by June 25, tracking towards the west. By the following day, the system had strengthened into a tropical storm. The system curved towards the north by June 28 and had begun to trend towards the northeast thereafter, gradually strengthening to a typhoon by 18:00 UTC that day. The storm continued to accelerate towards the northeast, passing just east of the Ryukyu Islands on June 30 before reaching peak intensity offshore Kyushu with maximum sustained winds of {{convert|185|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} and a central pressure estimated at {{convert|975|mbar|hPa inHg|abbr=on}}.

The westerly-tracking tropical wave that would develop into Typhoon Louise was closely monitored as it passed Guam on July 25. Strong winds and falling pressures documented in Ulithi strongly suggested that a tropical cyclone was developing in the vicinity.

Typhoon-strength winds began to rake the Filipino province of Isabela that day, ahead of Louise's eventual landfall on July 30 with winds of {{convert|185|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. The mountainous terrain weakened the storm significantly, and Louise remained weakened system as it traversed the South China Sea before tracking over Wuchuan, Guangdong as a minimal tropical storm on August 2. The tropical cyclone degenerated into a remnant low inland the following day before dissipating entirely on August 5.

Typhoon Marge originated as a tropical storm southeast of Guam on August 10. Tracking towards the northwest, the strengthening system passed just south of the island the following day as a typhoon. On August 13, the storm began taking a more northwesterly path as it continued to intensify, reaching its peak intensity two days with maximum winds estimated at {{convert|185|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} and a remarkably low pressure of {{convert|886|mbar|hPa inHg|abbr=on}}. Fluctuating in strength over the following days, Marge passed over the Amami Islands on August 18 before a more steadily weakening trend took hold as the typhoon moved into the East China Sea. The storm passed just offshore Shanghai before curving sharply towards the northeast into the Yellow Sea on August 21. Marge weakened to a tropical storm the next day after spending 11 continuous days as a typhoon. The cyclone made landfall near Boryeong, South Korea on August 23 and accelerated northeastwards across the Korean peninsula, transitioning into an extratropical cyclone over far-northeastern Manchuria before dissipating after August 24.{{cite web|title=1951 07W:MARGE (1951223N11148)|url=http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_current/browse-ibtracs/index.php?name=v03r09-1951223N11148|work=International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship|publisher=University of North Carolina-Asheville|accessdate=December 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181225031016/http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_current/browse-ibtracs/index.php?name=v03r09-1951223N11148|archive-date=December 25, 2018|url-status=dead}}

{{main|Typhoon Amy (1951)}}

On December 3, an area of low pressure first noted near the Kwajalein Atoll developed into a tropical cyclone. Tracking in a general westward direction, the storm quickly intensified to reach typhoon intensity the next day. However, the typhoon's asymmetricity resulted in a fluctuation of intensity over the following few days.{{cite web|title=1951 16W:AMY (1951337N09150) |url={{IBTRACS url|id=1951337N09150}} |work=International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship |publisher=University of North Carolina-Asheville |accessdate=20 July 2013}} Afterwards, Amy was able to intensify to reach its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of {{convert|220|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} and a minimum barometric pressure of {{convert|950|mbar|hPa inHg|abbr=on}} on December 8. Over the ensuing two days, Amy moved over several islands in the central Philippines before emerging in the South China Sea on December 11 as the equivalent of a minimal typhoon. Shortly after, the tropical cyclone executed a tight anticyclonic loop while oscillating in strength several times before eventually weakening and dissipating on December 17, just east of Vietnam.

In the Philippines, Amy was considered one of the worst typhoons to strike the island chain on record. Making its initial landfall along with the concurrent eruption of Mount Hibok-Hibok on Camiguin, the typhoon disrupted volcanic relief operations and forced the displacement of victims already displaced by the volcano.{{cite news|title=Philippines Threatened By Typhoon|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=IrtdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5V0NAAAAIBAJ&pg=4029,6800900&dq=typhoon&hl=en|accessdate=21

In addition to the 17 named storms monitored by the JTWC throughout the year, 14 other cyclones were analyzed by various agencies across East Asia, some of which were estimated to have reached tropical storm strength. Furthermore, disagreement on the intensity of these storms exists between the warnings centers. The table below lists the maximum intensity reported by any one agency for the sake of completeness. However, any tropical storms listed here are not considered official and thus are excluded from the season total.

The following table lists all of the tropical cyclones that formed during the 1951 Pacific typhoon season, including their names, duration, intensities, damages, and death totals. Damage and deaths include totals for storms before tropical cyclogenesis and after extratropical transition. The duration of storms is based on data provided from the China Meteorological Administration, while maximum sustained wind data is provided by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Pressure data is provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency.
