List of typhoons in the Philippines (2000–present)

The Philippines is archipelagic country in Southeast Asia, located in the northwest Pacific Ocean. It consists of 7,641 islands. The country is known to be "the most exposed country in the world to tropical storms", with about twenty tropical cyclones entering the Philippine area of responsibility each year. In the Philippine languages, tropical cyclones are generally called bagyo.[1]

However, the Philippines can experience a tropical cyclone anytime in the year, with the most storms during the months of June to September.
