to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 6 of which are published each year before the season starts. Names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1980 season. This is the same list used for the 1972 season. PAGASA uses its own naming scheme that starts in the Filipino alphabet, with names of Filipino female names ending with "ng" (A, B, K, D, etc.). Names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in . Season effects This table will list all the storms that developed in the northwestern Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line and north of the equator during 1976. It will include their intensity, duration, name, areas affected, deaths, missing persons (in parentheses), and damage totals. Classification and intensity values will be based on estimations conducted by the JMA, however due to lack of information around this time sustained winds were recorded by the JTWC. All damage figures will be in 1976 USD. Damages and deaths from a storm will include when the storm was a precursor wave or an extratropical low. |- | Kathy || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Caroline Islands || None || None || |- | Asiang || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Philippines || None || None || |- | TD || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Mariana Islands || None || None || |- | Biring || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Philippines || None || None || |- | Lorna || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Caroline Islands || None || None || |- | Marie (Konsing) || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Palau || None || None || |- | Nancy || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || None || None || None || |- | Olga (Didang) || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Philippines, Ryukyu Islands || Unknown || || |- | Pamela || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Caroline Islands, Mariana Islands || || || |- | TD || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Palau || None || None || |- | Gloring || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || Philippines, Ryukyu Islands || None || None || |- | TD || || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || bgcolor=#| || None || None || None || |-
