List of storms named Luding

Last updated September 15, 2024

The name Luding was used for ten tropical cyclones by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and its predecessor, the Philippine Weather Bureau, in the Western Pacific Ocean.

Typhoon Carmen (1963) (T6310, 23W, Luding) – strong typhoon that impacted the Philippines, southern China and northern Vietnam.
Severe Tropical Storm Georgia (1967) (T6713, 12W, Luding) – a strong tropical storm that only affected land (Kamchatka Peninsula) as an extratropical system.
Typhoon Freda (1971) (T7110, 10W, Luding) – a Category 1-equivalent typhoon that struck the Philippines and China.
Typhoon Cora (1975) (T7513, 15W, Luding) – a powerful typhoon which paralleled the coasts of the Ryukyu Islands and mainland Japan.
Tropical Depression 11W (1979) (11W, Luding) – a short-lived system that was monitored by PAGASA and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and eventually affected northern Philippines and southern Taiwan.
Typhoon Georgia (1983) (T8311, 12W, Luding) – a system that was considered by JTWC as a tropical storm; made landfall in Hainan and northern Vietnam.
Typhoon Dinah (1987) (T8712, 11W, Luding) – an intense typhoon which affected Okinawa, South Korea and mainland Japan, claiming at least 40 lives.
Typhoon Fred (1991) (T9111, 12W, Luding) – relatively powerful typhoon that hit northern Philippines, Hainan and northern Vietnam, killing 16.
Typhoon Ryan (1995) (T9514, 19W, Luding) – a very strong typhoon which affected the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan but only caused 5 fatalities and minimal damage.
Severe Tropical Storm Sam (1999) (T9910, 16W, Luding) – a potent tropical storm that was analyzed by JTWC as a typhoon; brought significant impacts to the Philippines, Hong Kong and southern China causing 20 deaths, in addition to 3 others who lost their lives due to a plane crash indirectly caused by it.

The 2005 Pacific typhoon season was the least active typhoon season since 2000, producing 23 named storms, of which 13 became typhoons. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season ran throughout 2005, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Kulap, developed on January 13, while the season's last named storm, Bolaven, dissipated on November 20. The season's first typhoon, Haitang, reached typhoon status on July 13, and became the first super typhoon of the year three days later.

This timeline documents all of the events of the 2005 Pacific typhoon season, the period that tropical cyclones formed in the Western Pacific Ocean during the year. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator between 100°E and the International Date Line. Tropical depressions that form in the basin were given a number with a "W" suffix by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). If a depression intensified into a tropical storm, it would be assigned a name by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). In addition, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigned names to tropical cyclones which were in their area of responsibility.

Typhoon Krovanh, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Niña, was a moderate tropical cyclone that caused a swath of damage stretching from the Philippines to Vietnam in August 2003. The fifteenth named storm and sixth typhoon in the western Pacific that year, Krovanh originated from a tropical disturbance within the monsoon trough on August 13. Despite rather favorable conditions, the initial tropical depression did not intensify significantly and degenerated into a remnant low on August 18. However, these remnants were able to reorganize and the system was reclassified as a tropical cyclone a day later. Intensification was rather rapid upon the storm's reformation – the depression reached tropical storm status on August 20 and then typhoon intensity two days later. Shortly after, Krovanh made landfall on Luzon at peak intensity with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph). The typhoon emerged into the South China Sea as a much weaker tropical storm, though it was able to restrengthen over warm waters. Once again at typhoon intensity, Krovanh clipped Haiyan before moving over the Leizhou Peninsula on its way to a final landfall near Cẩm Phả, Vietnam on August 25. Quick weakening due to land interaction occurred as Krovanh moved across northern Vietnam, where the storm met its demise the following day.

Typhoon Saudel, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Pepito, was a typhoon that affected the Philippines, Vietnam and Southern China in October 2020. It was seventeenth tropical storm and seventh typhoon of the 2020 Pacific typhoon season. The name Saudel was used for the first time, replacing Typhoon Soudelor in 2015, which caused serious damage in Taiwan and Mainland China. Saudel formed from a tropical disturbance east of the Philippines. The disturbance gradually organized and crossed the Philippines as a tropical storm. Once the system emerged into the South China Sea, it began to rapidly organize and intensify, becoming a typhoon early on October 22.
