The 1986 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1986, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. 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. A total of 32 tropical depressions formed in 1986 in the Western Pacific over an eleven-month time span.

Typhoon Peggy, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Gading, was a very intense super Tropical cyclone, typhoon that formed during the 1986 Pacific typhoon season. At the time of its occurrence, the typhoon was documented by PAGASA as the eight strongest Typhoons in the Philippines, Philippine typhoon on record. A tropical depression developed on July 3 east of the Philippines, and strengthened to a tropical storm the next day. It steadily strengthened to a typhoon, then continued to intensify and reached a peak strength of on July 7. As Peggy continued westward, it slowly weakened, and hit northeastern Luzon on July 9 as a typhoon. A slight weakening of the subtropical ridge brought Peggy northward, where it hit southeastern China as a tropical storm on July 11. It weakened and later dissipated into a remnant low on July 12. In total, Peggy caused at least 333 deaths and $512 million (1986 United States dollar, USD) in damage. Meteorological history Typ ...
