The 2001 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 2001, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. 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 2001 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin are assigned a name by the Tokyo Typhoon 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. This can often result in the same storm having two names.
In storm information below, wind-speed advisories differ from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) to the JMA as the JTWC uses the United States criteria of 1-minute mean to designate maximum sustained winds, while the JMA uses the 10-minute mean wind criterion to designate tropical cyclone maximum sustained gusts. This difference generally results in JTWC maximum winds appearing higher than the maximum winds described by the JMA for the same cyclone.
In the middle of February, a tropical depression moved across the Philippines.
From April 17 through April 21, a tropical depression persisted to the east of the Philippines.
Tropical Storm Cimaron developed on May 9 and moved northward through the Philippines, dissipating on May 14.
A tropical disturbance formed northeast of the Philippines on June 15. It was classified as a Tropical Depression, receiving the name Darna on June 17. Pressure dropped to 4 millibars, but it failed to reach minimal tropical storm strength. Darna moved north on June 18 and dissipated to a low on June 19. No casualties were reported and damages were unknown.
