The 1992 Pacific typhoon season was the fifth consecutive above-average season, producing 31 tropical storms, 16 typhoons and five super typhoons. It had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1992. Despite this, most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.{{cite web|url=http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt |title=May 2003 Global Tropical Cyclone Summary |date=2003-08-17 |author=Gary Padgett |access-date=2006-08-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060925124215/http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt |archive-date=25 September 2006 |url-status=dead }} These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
In the West Pacific basin, tropical depressions have the "W" suffix added to their number. Storms reaching tropical storm intensity of {{convert|34|kn|km/h|abbr=on}} sustained winds were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). Storms with sustained winds exceeding {{convert|64|kn|km/h}} are called typhoons, while intense typhoons with sustained winds exceeding {{convert|130|kn|km/h}} are designated super typhoons by the JTWC (see tropical cyclone scales).
Furthermore, tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine Area of Responsibility are assigned an internal name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). This can often result in the same storm having two names.

{{Top 10 Most Intense Pacific typhoon season}}
There were a total of 40 tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific in 1992. 39 of these formed within the basin, and 1 storm, Tropical Storm Ekeka, formed in the Central Pacific basin, crossing the Date Line to enter the Western Pacific. Out of the 39, 32 became named tropical storms, 21 reached typhoon intensity, and 5 reached super typhoon strength. Storms are listed in numerical ascending order by their JTWC tropical depression numbers except for Ekeka, and not in alphabetical order of names. Thus, Tropical Storm Zack (22W) is listed before Super Typhoon Yvette (23W).
The season was hyperactive, featuring the highest Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) for a Pacific typhoon season on record at the time, until it was surpassed by the 1997 Pacific typhoon season. The ACE index for the 1992 Pacific typhoon season as calculated by Colorado State University using data from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center was 470.1 units.{{cite web| title=Basin Archives: Northwest Pacific Ocean Historical Tropical Cyclone Statistics|url=http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/index.php?arch&loc=northwestpacific|publisher=Colorado State University|location=Fort Collins, Colorado|access-date=21 June 2023}} Broadly speaking, ACE is a measure of the power of a tropical or subtropical storm multiplied by the length of time it existed. It is only calculated for full advisories on specific tropical and subtropical systems reaching or exceeding wind speeds of {{convert|39|mph|km/h}}.

On 2 January, stronger-than-normal low-level westerlies were observed east of New Guinea. As a result of these increased winds and an area of cloudiness, two areas of convection on different sides of the equator formed. The next day, these areas began consolidating.{{Cite report |url=https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1992atcr.pdf |title=1992 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report |date=1993 |publisher=Joint Typhoon Warning Center |location=Guam, Mariana Islands |pages=44–59 |access-date=August 24, 2024}} As a result, on 4 January, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) noted that the northern area of convection had developed into a tropical depression.{{Cite report |title=RSMC Best Track Data – 1990–1999 |date= |url=https://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/jma-center/rsmc-hp-pub-eg/Besttracks/bst9099.txt |access-date=2024-08-24 |url-status= |publisher=Japan Meteorological Agency |location=Tokyo, Japan |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723110113/https://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/jma-center/rsmc-hp-pub-eg/Besttracks/bst9099.txt |archive-date=2011-07-23}} Several hours later, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on the depression, issuing their first warning on Tropical Depression 01W later that day. Early on 6 January, both the JTWC and JMA had noted that the tropical depression had intensified into a tropical storm, causing the former agency to name it Axel.
As a result of favorable upper-level divergence, Axel was able to significantly intensify, with the JMA noting that the cyclone had developed into a severe tropical storm the next day. Despite the JMA stating that Axel did not develop further until 9 January, later that day, the JTWC noted that Axel had intensified into a typhoon. Soon after, they noted that Axel had peaked with 1-minute sustained winds of {{cvt|55|knot|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} while the JMA stated that Axel had peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of {{cvt|70|knot|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}. However, on 10 January, Axel tracked into an environment with high wind shear, causing it to weaken. As a result, three days later, both the JMA and JTWC noted that Axel had weakened into a tropical depression. Two days later, Axel had transitioned into a weak extratropical low, causing both agencies to stop tracking it.
The worst typhoon to affect the Marshall Islands in over 70 years, waves produced by Axel flooded homes and cars while gusts amounting to {{convert|100|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} destroyed scores of houses, submerging houses and cars in knee-deep water and leaving hundreds homeless.{{Cite web |last=Archives |first=L.

islands. As a result of Axel's winds, a majority of the outhouses were destroyed, resulting in serious health concerns for the islanders. In the eastern Caroline Islands, Kosrae experienced gusts of {{cvt|65-80|knot|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} resulting in severe crop losses, damaged fauna, and several structures being destroyed.As Axel passed just north of Pohnpei, the island's electrical power was knocked out for several hours and many buildings in low-lying areas flooded. In those islands, a storm surge of fifteen feet was recorded, with a daily total of {{cvt|9.73|in|mm}} of rain seen.

On 3 February, a weakening Tropical Storm Ekeka tracked west of the International Date Line, entering the West Pacific basin and being monitored by the JMA. Early the next day, the JTWC began issuing bulletins on Ekeka, which was in an environment with high wind shear.{{Cite report |url=https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1992atcr.pdf |title=1992 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report |date=1993 |publisher=Joint Typhoon Warning Center |location=Guam, Mariana Islands |pages=50–51 |access-date=August 24, 2024}} Later that same day, Ekeka weakened into a tropical depression. Several days later, on 8 February, the JMA stopped tracking the depression. The JTWC kept tracking Ekeka for a few hours until it passed over Chuuk. Early on February 9, Ekeka finally dissipated about {{convert|800|mi|km}} east-southeast of Palau, or about {{convert|310|mi|km}} off the north coast of Papua New Guinea.{{EPAC hurricane best track}}

{{main|Typhoon Bobbie}}
On 20 June, a poorly organized area of convection south of Guam near the central Caroline Islands began developing. Embedded in the monsoon trough, the disturbance's circulation began consolidating, prompting the JTWC to issue a TCFA on the disturbance.{{Cite report |url=https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1992atcr.pdf |title=1992 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report |date=1993 |publisher=Joint Typhoon Warning Center |location=Guam, Mariana Islands |pages=52–55 |access-date=August 24, 2024}} As a result, on 23 June, the JMA noted that the disturbance had developed into a tropical depression. Around that time, the JTWC also upgraded the disturbance into a depression, issuing their first warning on Tropical Depression 02W later that day. Intensifying, early on 24 June, both the JTWC and JMA noted Bobbie intensified into a tropical storm, causing the latter agency to name it Bobbie. Just a few hours later, Bobbie began undergoing a binary interaction with nearby Tropical Storm Chuck, which at the time, just formed off the Philippines. As Bobbie was intensifying, it crossed into the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), prompting the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGSA) to name it Asiang.{{cite book |last1=Marshall |first1=J.

Early the next day, Bobbie intensified into a severe tropical storm. At that time, the JTWC claimed that Bobbie had intensified into a typhoon, while the JMA noted that Bobbie had actually became a typhoon several hours later. On 18:00 UTC on 26 June, Bobbie peaked with 1-minute sustained winds of {{Cvt|120|knot|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} as it tracked the western extent of the mid-level subtropical ridge. Several hours later, Bobbie peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of {{Cvt|90|knot|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}. As Bobbie began recurving east of Taiwan at 12:00 UTC that day, increasing southwesterly winds caused Bobbie to steadily weaken. Passing over Miyako Jima on 28 June and then just southeast of Okinawa on 29 June, Bobbie began undergoing an extratropical transition on at that time. At that time, Bobbie weakened into a severe tropical storm as it left the PAR, causing PAGASA to stop issuing advisories on the storm. As Bobbie transitioned into an extratropical storm, the JTWC issued their final warning on the system the next day, prior to it brushing the southern tip of Honshu. The JMA noted that Bobbie became extratropical early the next day, prior to it dissipating on 3 July.
Bobbie would primarily bring beneficial rainfall to Luzon, as mostly light showers had persevered over the region.{{cite book |title=Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin |date=1992 |publisher=The Bureau |volume=79 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YcWtwXZr99cC&pg=RA23-PA21 |access-date=25 August 2024 |language=en}} However, combined with the effects of nearby Chuck, heavy rainfall would produce mudflows pouring down the Bucao, Balinquero and Maraunot rivers, causing them to rise up {{cvt|6|feet|meter}}.{{cite news |title=Officials Sunday advised residents of a town near the... |url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1992/06/28/Officials-Sunday-advised-residents-of-a-town-near-the/2615709704000/ |access-date=25 August 2024 |publisher=United Press International |date=28 June 1992}} In Manila, 23 homes were destroyed while 2 people went missing.{{cite news |title=In other International news |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VmNFAAAAIBAJ&dq=typhoon+bobbie&pg=PA12&article_id=5814,133540 |access-date=27 August 2024 |publisher=The Telegraph-Herald |date=1 July 1992 |location=Dubuque, Iowa |page=12}} In Japan, Bobbie primarily brought severe rainfall, causing the prefectures of Okinawa, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, Tokyo, Gifu, and Fukui to receive heavy rainfall.

Several hours later, the JMA noted that Chuck had intensified into a tropical storm, causing the JTWC to name it Chuck around 12 hours later.
Steadily intensifying, on 27 June, both the JTWC and JMA noted that Chuck had become a typhoon. As a result, the JMA stated that Chuck peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of {{cvt|70|knot|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} around that time. Just a few hours later, early on 28 June, the JTWC stated that Chuck peaked with 1-minute sustained winds of {{cvt|80|knot|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}. Later that day, Chuck made landfall along the southern tip of Hainan island as a minimal typhoon. Weakening into a tropical storm as it crossed into the Gulf of Tonkin, Chuck made its second landfall around {{cvt|100|mi|km}} east-southeast of Hanoi early on 29 June. As a result of this, Chuck rapidly weakened, causing the JTWC to stop tracking it on 1 July. The JMA kept tracking Chuck until it dissipated two days later.
In Vietnam, at least 21 people died and while 80 were reported missing. Intense winds uprooted over 500 trees, downed electrical cables and damaged about 140 houses in Hanoi. As a result of the storm, in the capital alone, three people were killed while another three were injured. Massive waves engulfed several coastal fishing villages in Cát Hải district, with seven people being missing there.{{cite news |title=Typhoon lashes northern Vietnam - UPI Archives |url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1992/07/01/Typhoon-lashes-northern-Vietnam/2862709963200/ |access-date=28 August 2024 |publisher=United Press International |date=1 July 1992 |language=en}} Elsewhere, in Hainan, one person died.

On 25 June, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began tracking a tropical disturbance over the open Pacific. On 6:00 UTC the next day, they issued a TCFA on the consolidating system, later issuing their first advisory on it just a few hours later as Tropical Depression 04W.{{Cite report |url=https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/atcr/1992atcr.pdf |title=1992 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report |date=1993 |publisher=Joint Typhoon Warning Center |location=Guam, Mariana Islands |pages=59–60 |access-date=August 24, 2024}} Initially, the depression was slow to consolidate due to wind shear produced by a nearby Typhoon Bobby alongside a tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT). This hindered much development of the depression's convection, causing it to not intensify into a tropical storm until 1 July. As a result of it becoming a tropical storm, the JTWC named it Deanna. Slowly developing, the next day, Deanna peaked with 1-minute sustained winds of {{Cvt|40|knot|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}. Accelerating towards the northeast, Deanna weakened into a depression around {{cvt|700|km|NM}} east-northeast of Okinawa.{{cite book |title=BULLETIN |date=1993 |publisher=Hong Kong Meteorological Society |page=42 |edition=3 |url=https://www.meteorology.org.hk/bulletin/Vol03.1_1993.pdf |access-date=28 August 2024 |chapter=1992 Tropical Cyclone Summary for the Western North Pacific Ocean (west of 180 degrees)}} As Deanna tracked northwards, it dissipated on 3 July. Despite that, the remnants of Dianna tracked towards Japan, prior to becoming extratropical the next day.
In the Philippines, Deanna, known there as Biring, would prompt PAGASA to issue PSWS #1 for Batanes and Cagayan.{{cite news |title=Biring loses strength |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-pYVAAAAIBAJ&dq=biring&pg=PA6&article_id=2303,361674 |access-date=28 August 2024 |publisher=Manila Standard |date=3 July 1992}} Additionally, the remnants of Deanna produced moderate to heavy rainfall in the Ryukyu Islands and Southern Japan.{{cite book |title=Weekly Climate Bulletin |date=1993 |publisher=Climate Analysis Center, NMC, National Weather Service, NOAA |page=10 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iL1DA8j0n74C&pg=PA10 |language=en}}

Typhoon Omar originated into a tropical disturbance on August 20. On those days, the basin saw the dissipation of 2 tropical cyclones and another two more cyclones that begin their extratropical transition. The system intensified, prompting JMA and JTWC to name the Tropical depression 15W. 15W tracked westward, and it intensified to a tropical storm then was named Omar by the JMA. Omar begin to track westward, causing the outflow of Tropical Storm Polly to shear the system and slowing intensification. Then JTWC noticed that the wind shear can weaken Omar. The two storms furthered apart, allowing a ridge to develop between them. This caused Omar to drift slowly on the north, and because of the decreasing wind shear, Omar resumed strengthening. The storm later resumed its west-northwest track. On August 27, JTWC designed the storm as a typhoon, developing an eye. On August 28, Omar rapidly intensified and it made landfall on Guam with maximum sustained winds with {{convert|195|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. On August 29, the storm reached its peak intensity with 10 min. sustained winds of {{convert|185|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} and the lowest pressure of 920 mbar. This intensity remained for 24 hours before it weakened. However, JTWC estimated 1 min. winds at {{convert|240|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. Two days later, Omar entered the PAR and PAGASA assigned the local name Lusing. On September 3, Omar weakened into a tropical storm by JMA, but JTWC maintained the storm at the typhoon strength. The storm still tracked westward, then made landfall on east coast of Taiwan. Then it made its final landfall near Fujian in Eastern China on September 5. Then it degenerated to a tropical depression before turning west-southwest. Then it moved on southern China as a weak system, dissipating on September 9 on northern Vietnam.
Typhoon Omar was a destructive storm to Guam, causing over a foot of rain there, amounting to $702 million in damage (2008 USD) and a death. In Taiwan, the storm caused 2 deaths and heavy rainfall, which warranted the name's retirement. The name Omar was replaced with Oscar which was first used in the 1995 season.

Typhoon Gay was the strongest and longest-lasting storm of the season, forming on November 13 near the International Date Line. As it moved to the west, Gay steadily intensified and moved through the Marshall Islands as an intensifying typhoon.

The JTWC estimated peak winds of {{convert|295|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} and a minimum barometric pressure of {{convert|872|mb|inHg|abbr=on}}. However, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), which is the official warning center in the western Pacific, estimated winds of {{convert|205|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}, with a pressure of {{convert|900|mbar|inHg|abbr=on}}. Typhoon Gay weakened rapidly after peaking due to interaction with another typhoon, and it struck Guam with winds of {{convert|160|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} on November 23.

Most of the weaker structures were destroyed during Typhoon Omar earlier in the year. Due to its substantial weakening, Gay had a disrupted inner-core that dropped minimal rainfall, which caused extensive defoliation of plants due to salt water scorching. Further north, the typhoon destroyed a house on Saipan from high waves.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 6 of which are published each year before the season starts. Names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1996 season. This is the same list used for the 1988 season, except for Ulpiang and Yerling, which replaced Unsang and Yoning. PAGASA uses its own naming scheme that starts in the Filipino alphabet, with names of Filipino female names ending with "ng" (A, B, K, D, etc.). Names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in {{tcname unused}}.
=Retirement=
Due to extensive damage caused by Omar in Guam, the name was later retired and was replaced by Oscar and was first used in the 1995 season.
Season effects
This table summarizes all the systems that developed within or moved into the North Pacific Ocean, to the west of the International Date Line during 1992. The tables also provide an overview of a systems intensity, duration, land areas affected and any deaths or damages associated with the system.
