It was also the first season to name storms. It has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1945, 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 1945 Pacific hurricane season. Predecessor agency to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center <small>(JTWC)</small>, Fleet Weather Center/Typhoon Tracking Center was established on the island of Guam in June 1945, after multiple typhoons, including Typhoon Cobra in the previous season and Typhoon Connie in this season, had caused a significant loss of men and ships.<ref name="JTWC 50th Prog">{{cite book|url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/TCC/docs/JTWC_50th.ppt|title=Joint Typhoon Warning Center 50th Anniversary May 1959 – May 2009|access-date=November 14, 2014|date=April 29, 2009|archive-date=July 17, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160717070350/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/TCC/docs/JTWC_50th.ppt|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="JTWC Form">{{cite book |url=http://home1.gte.net/anstett/Jthist02.htm |title=History of the Joint Typhoon Warning Center up to 1998 |access-date=November 14, 2014 |url-status=dead |chapter=World War II Era |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224205356/http://home1.gte.net/anstett/Jthist02.htm |author=Anstett, Richard |date=April 30, 1998 |archive-date=February 24, 2012 }}</ref> It would not take major responsibility in the West Pacific basin until 1950 season.<ref name="JTWC 50th Prog" /> Instead, storms in this season are identified and named by the United States Armed Services, and these names are taken from the list that USAS publicly adopted before this season had started earlier this year.<ref>{{cite book|author=Landsea, Christopher W|author2=Dorst, Neal M|date=June 1, 2014|title=Tropical Cyclone Frequently Asked Question|chapter=Subject: Tropical Cyclone Names: B1) How are tropical cyclones named?|publisher=United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Hurricane Research Division|chapter-url=http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/B1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181210075835/http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/B1.html|archive-date=December 10, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|page=109|date=July 1958|journal=Mariners Weather Log|volume=2|issue=4|oclc=648466886|issn=0025-3367|editor=Bristow, Gerald C|title=Naming hurricanes and typhoons|author=Cry, George|hdl=2027/uc1.b3876059}}</ref> Since this is the first season to be included in the West Pacific typhoon database, this would also be the first season where the names of Western Pacific tropical cyclones are preserved publicly.

===Tropical Storm Ann=== {{Infobox tropical cyclone small |Basin=WPac |Track= |Image=Ann 1945 track.png |Formed=April 19 |Dissipated=April 26 |1-min winds=50 |Pressure=995 }} The first named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Ann formed on April 19 at relatively low latitude of 9.5°N. Ann generally tracked westward and later reached its peak intensity on April 21, before weakening to a tropical depression on April 23. The storm began to curve north the next day, and overall did not affect any landmasses and dissipated on April 26.<ref>{{cite web|title=1945 Severe Tropical Storm ANN (1945110N09160)|website=IBTrACS - International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship|url=https://ncics.org/ibtracs/index.php?name=v04r00-1945110N09160 |publisher=North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies |access-date=May 16, 2023 |location=Asheville, North Carolina}}</ref> {{Clear}}

The second named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Betty formed on May 13, 1945, and began to move in a northeastern direction. It strengthened into a tropical storm only 18 hours later and continued on its path. However, the storm eventually moved further north, and into colder waters. Betty weakened into a tropical depression and dissipated on May 16, having not threatened land at all. {{Clear}}

===Typhoon Connie=== {{Infobox tropical cyclone small |Basin=WPac |Image=Typhoon Connie analysis 3 Jun 1945.png |Track=Connie 1945 track.png |Formed=June 1 |Dissipated=June 7 |1-min winds=70 |Pressure=980 }} thumb|left|Radar image of typhoon Connie on June 5 by {{USS|Shangri-La||6}}

A small yet powerful typhoon, Connie was first spotted on June 1 by the Fleet Weather Center on Guam, moving northeast. Winds were reported to have been as high as {{cvt|140|mph|order=flip}}. But by June 7, it began to weaken. Its final fate is unknown.

The United States Navy's Third Fleet was hit by Connie, which is also referred to as Typhoon Viper.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/2015/october/pittsburghs-typhoon-battle |title=The Pittsburgh's Typhoon Battle |magazine=Naval History |publisher=United States Naval Institute |volume=29 |issue=5 |last=Barr |first=Roger |date=October 2015 |access-date=11 July 2025}}</ref> The same fleet had previously been hit, with great loss of life, by Cobra the previous year. Connie was not as powerful as Cobra, but the fleet was still damaged by the storm, with six men killed or lost overboard and four seriously hurt. The ships {{USS|Hornet|CV-12|6}}, {{USS|Bennington|CV-20|6}}, {{USS|Windham Bay}}, {{USS|Salamaua}}, {{USS|Pittsburgh|CA-72|6}}, {{USS|Baltimore|CA-68|6}}, and {{USS|Duluth|CL-87|6}} suffered major damage and 26 vessels suffered minor damage. 76 planes were destroyed and 70 suffered damage. The damage sustained during Cobra and Connie led to improvements in design such as faster pumping arrangement for fuel and ballast tanks, better protection from the elements for electrical panels, and an effort to make ships less top heavy. They also sped up the development of storm forecasting and led to the development of hurricane hunters.<ref>{{cite book |last=Baldwin |first=Hanson W. |date=1956 |title=Sea Fights and Shipwrecks: True Tales of the Seven Seas |url= |location=Garden City, New York |publisher=Hanover House |page=33 |isbn=}}</ref> {{Clear}}

Tropical Storm Nancy formed on July 3 to the east of Vietnam.

Louise was first seen developing on October 2, 1945, in the Caroline Islands. It unexpectedly veered north and slowed down, only to intensify as it passed over Okinawa on October 9 with {{cvt|90|mph|order=flip}} wind gusts and a minimum central pressure of 968.5 mbar. Shortly after, Louise began to weaken, and hit Japan as a strong tropical storm. The tropical cyclone became extratropical shortly after on October 12. In Okinawa, 36 people died, 47 people were reported missing, and 100 people were seriously injured.

In Buckner Bay, where the United States military were occupying a temporary base, {{cvt|30|to|35|ft|m|order=flip}} waves were reported to have crashed ashore, tearing into Quonset huts and other buildings. At the time, Buckner Bay was being used as a port by the United States military. Fifteen merchant ships were driven ashore, with a few wrecked. Three United States Navy destroyers were grounded and declared beyond salvage. Over 200 other US military vessels, including six tank landing ships, a number of special purpose boats, patrol boats, and amphibious landing craft were grounded, severely damaged, or wrecked beyond repair. Eighty percent of the buildings in the bay were completely wiped out, while all 60 aircraft at the local airports were damaged.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Naval History and Heritage Command |url=http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq102-6.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001204035500/http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq102-6.htm |archive-date=4 December 2000 |title=Typhoons and Hurricanes: Pacific Typhoon at Okinawa, October 1945}}</ref> {{Clear}}

Typhoon Nora formed on November 22, 1945, and began to move towards the Philippines. It became a typhoon and a category 1 equivalent storm on the SSHWS scale. The slow-moving storm moved towards the Philippines, but it turned northeast at the last moment, moving over colder waters and dissipating. {{Clear}}
