The 1952 Pacific typhoon season had no official bounds, 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 1952 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by the Fleet Weather Center on Guam.

The strongest Pacific typhoon in 1952, Olive developed about 1,600 mi (2,600 km) southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii on September 13. The next day, the system intensified into a tropical storm. Rapidly intensifying, Olive became a typhoon on September 15. The next day, Olive strengthened into a Category 5-equivelant cyclone on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. Olive weakened into a Category 2 typhoon before recurving northeast. On September 19, the cyclone weakened further, becoming a severe tropical storm. it then transitioned into an extratropical cyclone and was last monitored on September 21.[2]

Olive produced significant damage on Wake Island, where wind gusts reached 142 mph (229 km/h). Significant flooding was reported, and the majority of the structures were destroyed. However, few injuries were reported, and the island's facilities were restored the next year. Typhoon Olive remains one of the most intense tropical cyclones to affect the island.
