The 1991 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1991, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low pressure center and numerous Thunderstorms that produce strong winds and Flooding The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth 's Oceanic divisions [1] These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth 's Oceanic divisions
The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the international date line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1991 Pacific hurricane season. The 1991 Pacific hurricane season officially started on May 15, 1991 in the eastern Pacific and on June 1, 1991 in the central Pacific and Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC is a joint United States Navy &ndash United States Air Force task force located at Naval Maritime Forecast Center Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration ( Filipino: Pangasiwaang Pilipino sa Palingkurang Atmosperiko Heopisikal at Astronomiko This can often result in the same storm having two names.

Located in an area of little wind shear, it headed northwestward, developing spiral-band outflow and becoming a tropical storm on the 12th. As a small central dense overcast (CDO) developed over Yunya, it rapidly developed, becoming a typhoon on the 13th as it paralleled the eastern Philippines. The eye is a region of mostly calm Weather found at the center of strong Tropical cyclones The eye of a Storm is a roughly circular area and typically 30–65 km The mid-level ridge forced Yunya westward, where it briefly reached a peak intensity of 120 mph (195 km/h) winds on the 14th. (For the South African airport with IATA code "KMH" see Johan Pienaar Airport. Subsequently, the eastward building of the subtropical ridge produced unfavorable vertical wind shear that weakened Yunya to a minimal typhoon before hitting Dingalan Bay, Luzon early on the 15th. Luzon is the largest and most economically and politically important Island in the Philippines and one of the three island groups in the country with Visayas Yunya left Luzon as a minimal tropical storm at Lingayen Gulf. The Lingayen Gulf is an extension of the South China Sea on Luzon in the Philippines stretching. It turned northward due to a break in the ridge, and dissipated on the 17th near southern Taiwan due to the vertical shear.
Yunya would normally have been an uneventful cyclone, but on the day it hit Luzon, the colossal eruption of Mount Pinatubo took place. The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI was devised by Chris Newhall of the U Mount Pinatubo is an active Stratovolcano located on the island of Luzon The ash cloud that normally would have been dispersed across the oceans was redistributed over Luzon by the cyclonic winds of the typhoon, greatly exacerbating the damage caused by the eruption. The water-laden ash fell over the evacuated Clark Air Base, as well as the rest of Luzon, resulting in downed power lines and the collapse of flat-roofed buildings. Clark Air Base is a former United States Air Force base on Luzon Island in the Philippines, located 3 miles west of Angeles City, about 40 miles In some areas it was practically raining mud.
Yunya exited Luzon through the Lingayen Gulf as a weak tropical storm and then turned north toward a break in the subtropical ridge. The Lingayen Gulf is an extension of the South China Sea on Luzon in the Philippines stretching. The system continued to weaken due to the strong vertical wind shear. It then brushed the southern coast of Taiwan as a tropical depression and finally dissipated before it could complete full recurvature into the mid-latitude westerlies. Taiwan ( Taiwanese: Tâi-oân/Tāi-oân (historically 大灣/台員/大員/台圓/大圓/台窩灣 is an Island in East Asia. Yunya directly caused one death from the flooding and heavy rainfall it left. [3]

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) used its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones within its area of responsibility. Super Typhoon Mireille (international designation 9119, JTWC designation 21W) was the deadliest typhoon of the 1991 Pacific Tropical Storm Thelma (international designation 9125, JTWC designation 27W, Philippine name Uring) was the The Philippines ( Filipino: Pilipinas, officially known as the Republic of the Philippines (fil ''Republika ng Pilipinas'' RP The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration ( Filipino: Pangasiwaang Pilipino sa Palingkurang Atmosperiko Heopisikal at Astronomiko Lists were recycled every four years. This was the list set for 1991. [12] This is the same list used for the 1987 season, with the exception of Karing, Helming and Sendang which replaced Katring, Herming and Sisang. The 1987 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds it ran year-round in 1987 but most Tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between The name Uring was retired after this year and was replaced by Ulding.
