The 2015 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly above average season that produced twenty-seven tropical storms (including two that crossed over from the Eastern/Central Pacific), eighteen typhoons, and nine super typhoons. The season ran throughout 2015, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and November. The season's first named storm, Mekkhala, developed on January 15, while the season's last named storm, Melor, dissipated on December 17. The season saw at least one named tropical system forming in each of every month, the first time since 1965. Similar to the previous season, this season saw a high number of super typhoons. Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) during 2015 was extremely high, the third highest since 1970, and the 2015 ACE has been attributed in part to anthropogenic warming, and also the 2014-16 El Niño event, that led to similarly high ACE values in the East Pacific.{{cite web |title=Influences of Natural Variability and Anthropogenic Forcing on the Extreme 2015 Accumulated Cyclone in the Western North Pacific |publisher=Zhang, W.

The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean to the north of the equator between 100°E and 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones which can often result in a cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA){{#tag:ref|The Japan Meteorological Agency is the official Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for the western Pacific Ocean.|group="nb"}} will name a tropical cyclone should it be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least {{cvt|65|km/h}} anywhere in the basin, whilst the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N–25°N regardless of whether or not a tropical cyclone has already been given a name by the JMA.

During the year several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, and typhoons will form during a season and/or how many tropical cyclones will affect a particular country. These agencies included the Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) Consortium of the University College London, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau. Some of the forecasts took into consideration what happened in previous seasons and the El Niño Conditions that were observed during the year. The first forecast of the year was released by PAGASA during January 2015, within its seasonal climate outlook for the period January – June. The outlook noted that one to two tropical cyclones were expected between January and March while one to three were expected to develop or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility between April and June.

During March the Hong Kong Observatory predicted that the typhoon season in Hong Kong, would be near normal with four to seven tropical cyclones passing within {{convert|500|km|mi|round=5|abbr=on}} of the territory compared to an average of six.{{cite web |title=Speech by Mr Shun Chi-ming, Director of the Hong Kong Observatory March 17, 2014 |date=March 17, 2014 |access-date=April 6, 2015 |url=http://www.weather.gov.hk/dhkovoice/speech20150323e.pdf |url-status=live |archive-date=October 6, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006120642/http://www.weather.gov.hk/dhkovoice/speech20140317e.pdf |publisher=Hong Kong Observatory |author=Chi-ming, Shun |df=mdy}} Within its Pacific ENSO Update for the 2nd quarter of 2015, NOAA's Pacific El Niño–Southern Oscillation Applications Climate Center, noted that the risk of a damaging tropical cyclone in Micronesia was "greatly enhanced" by El Niño.{{cite journal |author1=Pacific El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Applications Climate Center |title=Pacific ENSO Update: 2nd Quarter 2015 |date=May 29, 2015 |volume=21 |issue=2 |url=http://www.weather.gov/media/peac/PEU/PEU_v21_n2.pdf |publisher=United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304070616/http://www.weather.gov/media/peac/PEU/PEU_v21_n2.pdf |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |url-status=live |df=mdy}} As a result, they forecasted that the risk of a typhoon severely affecting Micronesia was high, with most islands predicted to have a "1 in 3 chance" of serious effects from some combination of high winds, large waves and extreme rainfall from a typhoon. They also predicted that there was a near 100% chance of severe effects from a typhoon somewhere within Micronesia. On May 6, Tropical Storm Risk issued their first forecast for the season and predicted that the season, would be the most active since 2004 with activity forecast to be above average. Specifically it was forecast that 27 tropical storms, 17 typhoons, and 11 intense typhoons would occur, while an ACE Index of 400 was also forecasted.

Ahead of the Thailand rainy season starting during May, the Thai Meteorological Department predicted that one or two tropical cyclones would move near Thailand during 2015.{{cite web |title=The 2015 Rainy Season Climate Expectation of Thailand |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150724113044/http://www.tmd.go.th/en/seasonal_forecast.php |archive-date=July 24, 2015 |access-date=July 24, 2015 |url=http://www.tmd.go.th/en/seasonal_forecast.php |date=June 26, 2015 |publisher=Thai Meteorological Department |url-status=live |df=mdy}} The first of the two tropical storms was predicted to pass near Upper Thailand in either August or September, while the other one was expected to move to the south of Southern Thailand during November. On June 30, Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau predicted that 28–32 tropical storms would develop over the basin, while two — four systems were expected to affect Taiwan itself. During July, Paul Stanko of the United States National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Tiyan, Guam, called for tropical cyclone activity to be above average.{{cite journal |author=Pacific El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Applications Climate Center |volume=21 |issue=3 |url=http://www.weather.gov/media/peac/PEU/PEU_v21_n3.pdf |title=Pacific ENSO Update: 3rd Quarter 2015 |publisher=United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151120045953/http://www.weather.gov/media/peac/PEU/PEU_v21_n3.pdf |archive-date=November 20, 2015 |url-status=live |access-date=August 15, 2015 |date=August 14, 2015 |df=mdy}} He also predicted that several records would be set for the number of major typhoons in the western Pacific, tropical storms, typhoons and major typhoons in Micronesia. PAGASA subsequently predicted within its July — December seasonal climate outlook, that seven to ten tropical cyclones were likely to develop and/or enter the Philippine area of responsibility between July and September, while three to five were predicted for the October–December period. On July 16, the Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre (GCACIC) and the City University of Hong Kong's School of Energy, released their seasonal forecast for the period between June 1 – November 30.{{cite report |publisher=City University of Hong Kong |title=2015 Western North Pacific Basin Tropical Cyclone Predictions |author=Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Center |date=July 16, 2015 |archive-date=July 24, 2015 |url=http://www.cityu.edu.hk/gcacic/Research_Brief_201501.pdf |access-date=July 24, 2015 |author2=School of Energy and Environment |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150724162602/http://www.cityu.edu.hk/gcacic/Research_Brief_201501.pdf |url-status=live |df=mdy}} They predicted that 19.9 tropical cyclones would develop during the period with 10.3 of these going on and making landfall compared to averages of 23.0 and 17.4 tropical cyclones. They further predicted that both the Korea — Japan region and that Taiwan and the Eastern Chinese provinces of Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian would see three of these landfalls each. Vietnam, the Philippines and the Southern Chinese provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan were forecasted to see four landfalling tropical cyclones. On August 5, Tropical Storm Risk issued their final forecast for the season and predicted that 2015 would be a hyperactive season. Specifically it was forecast that 30 tropical storms, 20 typhoons, 13 intense typhoons would occur, while an ACE Index of 448 was also forecasted.

Most of the 27 tropical cyclones affected Micronesia, because of the record-tying 2014–16 El Niño event. 2015 opened with Tropical Depression Jangmi (Seniang) from the previous season active within the Sulu Sea, to the north of Malaysia, on January 1, 2015. The system subsequently moved south-eastward, made landfall on Malaysia, and dissipated later that day. However, the official first tropical cyclone of the season was a minor tropical depression, in the same place where Jangmi persisted on January 2, but dissipated two days later.{{cite web |title=Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary January 2015 |url=http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2015/trak1501.htm |work=Summaries and Track Data |publisher=Australiansevereweather.com |access-date=February 18, 2015 |author=Padgett, Gary |author2=Boyle, Kevin |author3=Chunliang, Huang |date=January 2015}} Tropical Storm Mekkhala, on January 13, developed and approached the Philippines where it caused minor damages and also notably interrupted Pope Francis's visit to the country. In early-February, Typhoon Higos developed further east of the basin and reached peak strength of a Category 4 typhoon.{{#tag:ref|Tropical cyclones reaching Category 3 ({{convert|111|mph|km/h|disp=or|sp=us}}) and higher on the five-level Saffir–Simpson wind speed scale are considered major hurricanes.|group="nb"}} Higos became the strongest typhoon on record in the month of February when it broke the record of Typhoon Nancy (1970),{{cite web |title=Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary February 2015 |url=http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2015/trak1502.htm |work=Summaries and Track Data |publisher=Australiansevereweather.com |access-date=March 10, 2015 |author=Padgett, Gary |author2=Boyle, Kevin |author3=Chunliang, Huang |date=February 2015}} and was in turn surpassed by Typhoon Wutip in 2019.

Typhoon Maysak passed directly over Chuuk State in the Federated States of Micronesia on March 29, causing extensive damage. High winds, measured up to {{convert|71|mph|km/h|abbr=on|order=flip}} at the local National Weather Service office, downed numerous trees, power lines, and tore off roofs. An estimated 80–90 percent of homes in Chuuk sustained damage. Power to most of the island was knocked out and communication was difficult.

On Majuro atoll in the Marshall Islands, high winds from Nangka tore roofs from homes and downed trees and power lines. Nearly half of the nation's capital city of the same name were left without power. Tony deBrum, the Marshall Island's foreign minister, stated "Majuro [is] like a war zone." At least 25 vessels in the island's lagoon broke loose from or were dragged by their moorings. Some coastal flooding was also noted.{{cite news |agency=Agence France-Presse |publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |date=July 4, 2015 |access-date=July 4, 2015 |title=Chaotic unseasonal storms strike Marshall Islands and Guam as eight systems threaten western Pacific |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-04/chaotic-unseasonal-storms-strike-marshall-islands-and-guam/6595124}}

Within the Northwest Pacific Ocean, both the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assign names to tropical cyclones that develop in the Western Pacific, which can result in a tropical cyclone having two names.{{cite web |title=Monthly Tropical Cyclone Summary December 1999 |access-date=October 1, 2013 |url-status=live |author=Padgett, Gary |publisher=Australian Severe Weather |url=http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2000/summ9912.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211074501/http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2000/summ9912.htm |archive-date=February 11, 2012 |df=mdy}} The Japan Meteorological Agency's RSMC Tokyo — Typhoon Center assigns international names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee, should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of {{convert|65|km/h|mph|round=5|abbr=on}}.{{cite web |title=Typhoon Committee Operational Manual 2013 |url=http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/TCP-23EDITION2013.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801020116/http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/TCP-23EDITION2012.pdf |publisher=World Meteorological Organization |archive-date=August 1, 2013 |pages=37–38 |date=February 21, 2013 |author=The Typhoon Committee |access-date=October 1, 2013 |url-status=live |df=mdy}} PAGASA names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N and 25°N even if the cyclone has had an international name assigned to it.

  • Additionally, Halola and Kilo entered the Western Pacific basin from the Central Pacific basin after crossing the International Date Line (180°E) as a tropical cyclone. As the system crossed between basins intact, it retained the name assigned to it by the National Hurricane Center.

==Retirement==

After the season the Typhoon Committee retired the names Soudelor, Mujigae, Koppu and Melor from the naming lists, and in February 2017, the names were subsequently replaced with Saudel, Surigae, Koguma and Cempaka for future seasons, respectively.{{cite report |year=2016 |title=Forty – Eighth Session of Typhoon Committee Session Report |publisher=The Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific/World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee |page=1 |url=http://www.typhooncommittee.org/48th/docs/final/TC48FINAL.pdf |access-date=May 3, 2016}}
