The season's first named storm, Malakas, developed on March 20, while the last-named storm, Sanvu, dissipated on December 25. The season's first typhoon, Chaba, reached typhoon status on April 10. It became the first super typhoon of the year four days afterwards, also becoming the second strongest tropical cyclone in 2022. Chaba was also the second most powerful tropical cyclone on record in the Northern Hemisphere for the month of April. Typhoons Chaba, Muifa, and Yamaneko are responsible for most of the total damage this season, adding up to a combined total of $8.073 billion.

The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean to the north of the equator between 100°E and 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones, which can often result in a cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) names a tropical cyclone should it be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 65 km/h (40 mph) anywhere in the basin, whilst the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N and 25°N, regardless of whether or not a tropical cyclone has already been given a name by the JMA. Tropical depressions that are monitored by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) are given a number with a "W" suffix.
