From @Atlantic:
The Western Pacific is ahead of 1997 in ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) and number of named storms and major typhoons, however, 1997 had more typhoons up to this point.
2026 had produced 9 named storms (not counting Nuri, which was considered a TD by JTWC and Haishen, which was not recognized as a TC at all by the JTWC), 4 typhoons, 3 major typhoons and 2 super typhoons (both of which have been Category 5 on the SSHWS)
1997 had up to this point 9 named storms, 5 typhoons, 2 major typhoons, both of which had been Category 5 super typhoons.
If you count Nuri and Haishen, the number of named storms goes to 11, vs 1997’s 9 NS
