The 2026-27 Pacific Winter Typhoon season is an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The season runs throughout the entirety of 2026-27, to be specific, July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. Although, most tropical cyclones typically develop between November and April. On October 8, Winter Depression One formed east of Hokkaido and the Kuril Islands.

| Duration | October 8 – October 11 |
| Peak intensity | 85 km/h (53 mph) (10-min); 998 mbar (hPa) |
On October 7, The JMA and JWTC noted a winter disturbance, east of Hokkaido and the Kuril Islands producing significant snowfall, and this system rapidly developed circulation due to favorable conditions, later becoming a winter depression on October 8. The next day, 01W reached winter storm strength with speeds of 70 km/h, therefore being named Damrey. On October 10, Damrey weakened before going extratropical due to wind shear and unfavorable conditions. The system fully dissipated on October 11.
Storm Names
Within the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the JMA assign names to winter cyclones that develop in the region. The JMA's RSMC Tokyo–Typhoon Center assigns international names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 65 km/h (40 mph). PAGASA doesn't have any involvement, as winter cyclone formation is impossible near the Philippines. Unused names are marked in gray. The names of significant tropical cyclones will be retired by the Typhoon Committee in the autumn of 2027.
Currently, The international name list uses the one used for typhoons, but independent from the name lists, therefore starting from Damrey. This will likely change in the future once a completely new name list is made.

For storms that form from Winter Storms or a tropical cyclone becoming a winter cyclone, it will retain it's name given.

This table summarizes all official tropical systems that developed within or moved into the Western Pacific basin during 2026-27, defined as the region west of the 180th meridian. It also provides an overview of each system's intensity, duration, affected land areas, and any associated deaths or damage.
