The '''1966 Pacific typhoon season''' was an active season, with many tropical cyclones having severe impacts in China, Japan, and the Philippines. Overall, there were 49 tropical depressions declared officially or unofficially, of which 30 officially became named storms; of those, 20 reached typhoon status, while 3 further became super typhoons by having winds of at least {{convert|240|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}.{{#tag:ref|All winds are one-minute sustained unless otherwise noted|group="nb"|name="Winds"}} Throughout the year, storms were responsible for at least 997 fatalities and $377.6 million in damage; however, a complete record of their effects is unavailable.

It is widely accepted that wind estimates in the Western North Pacific during the reconnaissance era prior to 1988 are subject to great error. In many cases, intensities were grossly overestimated due to a combination inadequate technology and a lesser understanding of the mechanics behind tropical cyclones as compared to the present day. Additionally, methodologies for obtaining wind estimates have changed over the decades and is not the same today as in 1966. A joint reanalysis of typhoons from 1966 to 1987 was conducted by the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere at Colorado State University and the United States Naval Research Laboratory in 2006 to correct some of these errors. Many storms in 1966 received strength reductions as a result of this study; however, the results of the research have not been implemented into the official database. Notably the number of major typhoons, Category 3-equivalent or higher on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, was reduced from eight to six, including the removal of a Category 5.<ref name="WPacReanalysis">{{cite web|author1=John A.

The western Pacific basin covers 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 1966 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) also monitored systems in the basin; however, it was not recognized as the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center until 1968.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Japan Meteorological Agency|year=2014|access-date=March 10, 2015|title=Japan Meteorological Agency Services: International Cooperation|url=http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/en/Activities/intcorp.html}}</ref> 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 (PAGASA), which can result in the same storm having two names; in these cases both storm names are given below, with the PAGASA name in parentheses.

=== Typhoon Hester (Atang) === {{Infobox tropical cyclone small | Basin = WPac | Image = Typhoon Hester April 11, 1966 surface analysis.png | Track = Hester 1966 track.png | Formed = April 3 | Dissipated = April 15 | Type1 = typhoon | 1-min winds = 85 | Pressure = 979 }}Hester originated as a tropical depression east of the Philippines on April 3. It drifted west-northwest for four days, fluctuating between tropical depression and tropical storm strength while traversing Micronesia. By April 10, Hester intensified into a typhoon in the Philippine Sea, reaching Category 2-equivalent winds of 155 km/h (100 mph) and a central pressure of 988 hPa 25. This marked its peak intensity, sustained for approximately 12 hours. Steering currents forced a sharp northeastward turn on April 11. Hester weakened to a tropical storm by April 13 and transitioned to an extratropical cyclone south of Japan on April 15 before dissipating.

The entire path remained over open water, avoiding populated landmasses and resulting in no recorded damage.{{clear}}

It weakened over the island, but re-intensified rapidly to a 140 mph typhoon in the Sibuyan Sea before hitting Mindoro on the 17th. After weakening to a tropical storm, Irma turned northward to hit western Luzon as a 95 mph typhoon on the 19th. It accelerated to the northeast, and became extratropical on the 22nd. The extratropical remnant raced northeast before abruptly slowing on May 23 well to the east of Japan. During that time, it temporarily turned north while moving erratically. The system later acquired a general eastward track by May 26 and accelerated once more before dissipating near the International Date Line on May 29.<ref name="MWL_MayTracks">{{cite journal|journal=Mariners Weather Log|date=November 1966|title=Tracks of Centers of Cyclones at Sea Level, North Pacific: May 1966|page=213|volume=10|issue=6|location=Washington, D.C.|editor=Patrick E.

After Vietnam landfall, Ora weakened to a tropical depression by 00:00 UTC on July 27, and dissipated inland over northern Vietnam on July 28.

Ora impacted sparsely populated regions of Hainan and Vietnam. No significant damage or casualties were documented in available sources, likely due to its compact size and rapid dissipation.

=== Other systems ===  In addition to the 30 named storms monitored by the JTWC throughout the year, 8 systems were warned upon that never reached gale-strength. Additionally, 11 other cyclones were warned upon by various agencies across East Asia, some of which were estimated to have reached tropical storm strength. Furthermore, disagreement on the intensity of these storms exists between the warnings centers. The table below lists the maximum intensity reported by any one agency for the sake of completeness. However, any tropical storms listed here are not considered official and thus are excluded from the season total.

PAGASA 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 1970 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 {{tcname unused}}. {{clear}}

== Season effects == This is a table of all of the storms that have formed in the 1966 Pacific typhoon season. It includes their names, duration, peak one-minute sustained winds, minimum barometric pressure, affected areas, damage, and death totals. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 1966 USD. Names listed in parentheses were assigned by PAGASA.
