Tropical Storm Pat
The name Pat has been used for six tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific Ocean: * Typhoon Pat (1948) * Typhoon Pat (1951) * Typhoon Pat (1982) – a Category 3 typhoon that neared the Philippines. * Typhoon Pat (1985) – impacted southern Japan and was known as one of three cyclones that interacted with each other. * Tropical Storm Pat (1988) – a severe tropical storm that hit the Philippines. * Typhoon Pat (1991) – a Category 4 typhoon that did not affect land. * Typhoon Pat (1994) – a Category 2 typhoon that did not affect land. It has also been used for two tropical cyclones in the South Pacific Ocean: * Tropical Cyclone Pat (1977) – a weak and short-lived tropical cyclone. * Cyclone Pat (2010) – affected the Cook Islands ) , image_map = Cook Islands on the globe (small islands magnified) (Polynesia centered).svg , capital = Avarua , coordinates = , largest_city = Avarua , official_languages ...

Tropical Cyclone
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain and squalls. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by different names, including hurricane (), typhoon (), tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, or simply cyclone. A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or northeastern Pacific Ocean, and a typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. In the Indian Ocean, South Pacific, or (rarely) South Atlantic, comparable storms are referred to simply as "tropical cyclones", and such storms in the Indian Ocean can also be called "severe cyclonic storms". "Tropical" refers to the geographical origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively over tropical seas. "Cyclone" refers to their winds moving in a circle, whirling round ...

Typhoon Pat (1948)
The 1948 Pacific typhoon season was an average season. It had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1948, 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 1948 Pacific hurricane season. At the time, tropical storms that formed within this region of the western Pacific were identified and named by the United States Armed Services, and these names are taken from the list that USAS publicly adopted before the 1945 season started. __TOC__ Season summary ImageSize = width:950 height:200 PlotArea = top:10 bottom:80 right:25 left:20 Legend = columns:3 left:30 top:58 columnwidth:270 AlignBars = ...
