Damage totals came in at US$80 million (US$403 million in 2005), mostly in the Philippines. Due to the waves close proximity to a high pressure area to the north, strong easterlies accelerated it to the west. [2] The mass destruction caused in the Metro Manila National Capital Region, then known as the Greater Manila area, mainly by many being caught almost totally unprepared, destroyed many power lines and well into the next month were many areas in the metropolis still waiting for electric power to be restored. 12 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 7 reached super typhoon strength. Particularly hard hit were the islands of Catanduanes and Samar. The depression moved west, suppressed south by a high pressure ridge to the north, and gradually strengthened into a tropical storm and was given the name Nancy early on February 20. The 1970 season saw a total of seven cyclonic storms, of which three developed into severe cyclonic storms. The total deaths and damage will likely never be known, as the Vietnam War was raging at the same time. As it entered the Philippine Sea the ridge that had kept it to the south began to weaken allowing Olga to move in a northwestward direction. [6], In mid-June a change in the jet stream over a large part of the Pacific Ocean caused an increase in tropical wave frequency.

Clara peaked at 95 mph before coming close to Japan, when a shortwave trough forced it sharply eastward. The system continued into the Sea of Japan, and became merged within a cold front. The increased forward speed inhibited the establishment of a circulation until it was south of Guam early on June 29, though the JMA had classified it a tropical depression two days earlier.

Later that day reconnaissance had detected a closed center and gale force winds and the low was upgraded to a tropical storm and was given the name Olga. On November 22, Patsy struck Vietnam, and dissipated soon after. The 62 millibar drop with the day of June 30 and July 1 caused a very high wind profile around the six mile radius eye. A low developed in the wake of the short wave, dominated Olga causing the typhoon to greatly weaken. By July 5 Olga made landfall on the Kansai region, south of Osaka, as a tropical storm.
