Pacific typhoon seasons
1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967

The 1965 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1965, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.

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 1965 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning 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 Weather Bureau. This can often result in the same storm having two names.

Main article: Typhoon Bess (1965)

Bess formed on the 25 September northeast of Pohnpei, Micronesia where it would track east for 18 hours. The next day, the storm would officially be recognized as a tropical depression on the Saffir-Simpson scale whilst moving northwest. Twelve hours later at 6pm, the depression would be upgraded to a tropical storm with barometric pressure of 998 hPa and would be assigned the name Bess by the JTWC.

Once becoming a tropical storm, Bess would start drifting to the east. The storm would reach hurricane-force winds on the 27 September with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph) and would be recognized as a typhoon by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Bess reached Category 2 winds the next morning at 6am whilst gradually turning to the north. Bess would intensify and hit Category 4 winds exactly a day later on the 29th. Typhoon Bess would hit its peak intensity on the 30th September with 1-minute sustained winds of 280 km/h and barometric pressure of 900 hPa, sustaining it for 36 hours.

On the 1st October, the storm would weaken back into a Category 4 super typhoon and would begin weakening. Bess would become a Category 3 typhoon the next day on the 2nd; starting to move northeast. Another 18 hours later on the next day, the storm would begin rapidly weakening; becoming a Category 1 typhoon just 12 hours later. Unexpectedly on the 4th October, Bess would experience an extreme case of rapid intensification, jumping from winds of 150 to 205 km/h in just 6 hours. This intensity would be short lived as Bess weakened back to a Category 1 typhoon just 12 hours later.

Exactly 18 hours after Bess reached Category 4 intensity, the storm had dropped to winds of 110 km/h; a tropical storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Whilst moving to the northeast, the storm continued to weaken, briefly becoming a tropical depression on the 6th October and becoming an extratropical cyclone that same day. The now extratropical cyclone drifted east, passing Russia and then dissipated on the 8th October nearby Alaska.[3]

Main article: Typhoon Carmen (1965)

Typhoon Carmen formed from a vortex developing on September 30, 1965, becoming a tropical depression on October 1 near Eniwetok Atoll. It intensified into a tropical storm on October 3 and a typhoon by October 5. Carmen rapidly strengthened, peaking as a Category 5 equivalent super typhoon with winds of 280 km/h (170 mph) and a central pressure of 914 hPa on October 6. Its eye passed over Pagan in the Mariana Islands that day, causing catastrophic damage on Agrihan where all structures and crops were destroyed, forcing permanent evacuation. Carmen maintained peak intensity until October 9, when cold air intrusion began weakening it east of Tokyo. It accelerated northeastward, transitioning to an extratropical cyclone. Carmen weakened further, passing over the Aleutian Islands on October 11 and entering the Gulf of Alaska before dissipating near southeastern Alaska on October 15. The typhoon caused severe impacts, particularly in the Northern Marianas. Before landfall, B-52s evacuated Guam. Agrihan was devastated. A major maritime disaster occurred when Carmen's center passed near Agrihan: seven fishing boats capsized attempting to flee, resulting in 1,290 tons lost, 208 people missing, and only 1 confirmed survivor (with 39 others rescued ashore). Relief efforts, including rebuilding Pagan's airstrip, were initiated.

Unused names

The Philippine Weather Bureau uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. It 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 1969 season. PWB (and its eventual successor, 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 gray.
