"The longest tropical cyclone-free period in Northwest Pacific history--200 days--ended on Saturday July 3, with the formation of Tropical Storm Nepartak in the waters just south of Guam. The previous tropical cyclone in the basin was Typhoon Melor , which fell below tropical storm strength on December 16, 2015. According to Colorado State University hurricane expert Dr. Phil Klotzbach, the previous longest tropical cyclone drought in the Northwest Pacific was two days shorter--198 days--during December 1972 - June 1973. The July 3 start date for the 2016 season's first named storm is the second latest start date in the 66-year period of record."
Dr. Phil Klotzbach's Twitter has lots of information about various records:
