Severe Tropical Storm Maliksi,known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Domeng,was a tropical cyclone in June 2018 that brought rainfall to the Philippines and Japan. It caused 2 deaths and prompted the PAGASA to declare the beginning of the rainy season in the Philippines. The fifth named storm and 4th tropical cyclone in the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), [1] it was first noted as an area of convection in the South of Palau on May 31.
On May 31 at 06:00 UTC, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began monitoring an area of convection approximately 95 nautical miles (175 km; 110 mi) south of Palau. The system was disorganized, with convection being located to the east of a broad and elongated low-level circulation. It was located in favorable conditions for development and sea surface temperatures in the area ranged from 29–30 °C (84–86 °F), though the JTWC assessed its development potential in the next day as low. [2] The system's low-level circulation began consolidating, and on June 2 at 00:30 UTC, the JTWC upgraded its development potential in the next day to medium. [3] On June 3 at 18:00 UTC, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) assessed that a tropical depression had formed over the Philippine Sea. [4] [lower-alpha 1] On the next day at 03:00 UTC, the PAGASA gave the depression the local name Domeng as it was located 675 kilometres (420 mi) east of Guiuan. [6] The depression absorbed an invest as convection covered the low-level circulation, and on 14:00 UTC the same day, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert as it was located approximately 225 nautical miles (415 km; 260 mi) northwest of Palau. [7]
The depression began to exhibit signs of anticyclonic outflow as it was steered northward by a mid-level subtropical high-pressure area, [8] and on June 7 at 12:00 UTC, the JTWC upgraded the system to a tropical depression, assigning it the designation 06W. [9] 6 hours later at 18:00 UTC, both the JMA and the JTWC upgraded the depression to a tropical storm, with the JMA giving it the name Maliksi; [4] [9] the system's circulation remained broad. [10] Maliksi passed by the western edge of the high-pressure area and turned northeast, [11] and on June 9 at 06:00 UTC, the JMA upgraded it to a severe tropical storm. [4] At 21:00 UTC, Maliksi exited the PAR, with the PAGASA issuing its final warning on the system. [12] On June 10 at 00:00 UTC, Maliksi peaked in intensity, with maximum sustained winds of 110 km/h (70 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 970 hPa (29 inHg) as it was located southeast of Okinawa. [4] [lower-alpha 2] The JTWC assessed Maliksi to have peaked at the same time, also estimating the same windspeed in the 1-minute sustained standard. [9] [lower-alpha 3] Maliksi began slowly accelerating to the northeast, developing a ragged eye as it became exposed to strong westerlies. [14] After reaching peak intensity, convection around the center began to decrease, [15] with the low-level circulation beginning to elongate. [16] Maliksi began extratropical transition as it was located over an unfavorable environment, [17] and on June 11 at 18:00 UTC, the JMA assessed that Maliksi completed its transition into an extratropical cyclone, [4] with its low-level circulation being displaced from its upper-level circulation; [18] the JTWC estimated extratropical transition began 6 hours earlier. [9] Maliksi's remnants dissipated east of Honshu on June 13. [4]
The PAGASA warned residents of possible floods and landslides, advising fishermen not to go to sea. [19] Beginning June 5, classes were suspended in parts of Luzon and the province of Biliran. 73 people were evacuated in Calabarzon. [20]
Maliksi enhanced the southwest monsoon in the Philippines, bringing monsoonal rains over Luzon and Visayas. [19] A bridge received damage in San Fernando, Romblon, and on Tablas Island, power went out for a day due to fallen trees impacting power lines. Patients in the University of Santo Tomas Hospital were evacuated after floodwaters entered the building. [21] Trees were uprooted in Quezon City and Coron, Palawan, and in Calintaan, a temporary bridge was washed out by a river. 16 houses were damaged in San Fernando, Pampanga, six of which were completely damaged. A SkyJet Airlines flight on route from Metro Manila overshot the runway at Francisco B. Reyes Airport, injuring 2 of 86 on board, including the first officer. In Batangas, 8 municipalities lost power on June 9 at 3:00 PM local time, before being restored 6 hours later. [22] In Metro Manila, overnight rains flooded at least 43 barangays, [23] with several streets becoming impassable. [24] Floods in parts of Quezon City's 4th congressional district reached 5 feet (150 cm). [20] On June 9 at 11:00 PM local time, due to the heavy rainfall in Metro Manila, the PAGASA issued a red rainfall advisory for the area, along with other warnings for the regions of Calabarzon and Central Luzon. [25] Two people from Palawan and Albay drowned after jumping or falling into the ocean. 72 passengers and 2 vessels were stranded in Legazpi, Albay and Rapu-Rapu, with other ports in Oriental Mindoro suspending their operations. [23] A total of 132 people were affected in San Fernando, Pampanga and Santa Cruz, Zambales. [20]
Due to the effects of Maliksi, the PAGASA declared the beginning of the rainy season due to widespread rainfall in PAGASA weather stations. [26] Those affected in San Fernando, Pampanga received ₱41 thousand (US$770) worth of aid. [20]
As Maliksi approached Okinawa, its meteorological observatory cautioned of high waves around the island. [27] The outer road at Kitadaitōjima was closed on June 9, with all fishing vessels being brought to port. [28] Sea and air travel near the Daitō Islands were interrupted on June 10. [29] On the same day, the Okinawa Meteorological Observatory issued a storm warning for the Daitō Islands, [30] with Kitadaitōjima receiving an evacuation advisory. [31]
On the island of Hachijō-jima, 287.5 millimetres (11.32 in) of precipitation was recorded, [32] and on Kitadaitōjima, a gust of 28.3 metres per second (100 km/h; 65 mph) was recorded. [33] In Chichibu, Saitama, there were rains around noon as the storm was approaching the Kantō Region, though winds were not strong. [34] Some sugarcane crop in Kitadaitōjima was damaged due to strong winds. [35]
The 2012 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly above average but destructive and second consecutive year to be the deadliest season. Though rather active since 2004. It produced 25 named storms, fourteen typhoons, and four intense 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 2012, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Pakhar, developed on March 28, while the season's last named storm, Wukong, dissipated on December 29. The season's first typhoon, Guchol, reached typhoon status on June 15, and became the first super typhoon of the year on June 17.
The 2018 Pacific typhoon season was at the time, the costliest Pacific typhoon season on record, until the record was beaten by the following year. The season was well above-average, producing 29 storms, 13 typhoons, and 7 super 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 2018, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Bolaven, developed on January 3, while the season's last named storm, Man-yi, dissipated on November 28. The season's first typhoon, Jelawat, reached typhoon status on March 29, and became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day.
Typhoon Jelawat, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Lawin, was the most intense tropical cyclone of the 2012 Pacific typhoon season in terms of ten-minute maximum sustained winds, tied with Typhoon Sanba. Following Bolaven and Sanba, Jelawat was the third typhoon directly hitting Okinawa Island in 2012. Jelawat, which means carp in Malaysian, is a type of freshwater fish.
Severe Tropical Storm Rumbia, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Gorio, was a tropical cyclone that brought widespread flooding in areas of the Philippines and China late June and early July 2013. The sixth internationally named storm of the season, Rumbia formed from a broad area of low pressure situated in the southern Philippine Sea on June 27. Steadily organizing, the initial tropical depression moved towards the northwest as the result of a nearby subtropical ridge. On June 28, the disturbance strengthened to tropical storm strength, and subsequently made its first landfall on Eastern Samar in the Philippines early the following day. Rumbia spent roughly a day moving across the archipelago before emerging into the South China Sea. Over open waters, Rumbia resumed strengthening, and reached its peak intensity with winds of 95 km/h (50 mph) on July 1, ranking it as a severe tropical storm. The tropical cyclone weakened slightly before moving ashore the Leizhou Peninsula late that day. Due to land interaction, Rumbia quickly weakened into a low pressure area on July 2 and eventually dissipated soon afterwards.
This timeline documents all of the events of the 2012 Pacific typhoon season, the period that tropical cyclones formed in the Western Pacific Ocean during 2012. Most of these tropical cyclones formed between May and November 2012. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator between 100°E and the International Date Line. Tropical storms that form in the entire Western Pacific basin are assigned a name by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Tropical depressions that form in this basin are given a number with a "W" suffix by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). In addition, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigns names to tropical cyclones that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility. These names, however, are not in common use outside of the Philippines.
Typhoon Neoguri, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Florita, was a large and powerful tropical cyclone which struck Japan in 2014. The eighth named storm and the second typhoon of the annual typhoon season, Neoguri developed into a tropical storm on July 3 and then a typhoon on July 4. It rapidly deepened on July 5, reaching peak intensity late on July 6. Neoguri began to decay on July 7 and passed through Okinawa on July 8 and then making landfall over Kyushu as a severe tropical storm late on July 9. After Neoguri passed through the southern coast of Honshū on July 10, it became extratropical on July 11.
Typhoon Phanfone, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Neneng, was a powerful tropical cyclone which affected Japan in early October 2014. It was the eighteenth named storm and the eighth typhoon of the 2014 Pacific typhoon season.
Typhoon Vongfong, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Ompong, was the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 2014, and struck Japan as a large tropical system. It also indirectly affected the Philippines and Taiwan. Vongfong was the nineteenth named storm and the ninth typhoon of the 2014 Pacific typhoon season. Estimates assess damage from Vongfong to have been over US$160 million, mainly for striking mainland Japan. At least 9 people were killed along the path of the typhoon in those countries.
Tropical Storm Kujira was a tropical cyclone that prompted the PAGASA to declare the beginning of the rainy season in the Philippines. The ninth tropical depression, 8th named storm, and first storm to make landfall on China in the 2015 Pacific typhoon season, it formed as a tropical depression south of the Paracel Islands on June 19.
Typhoon Halola, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Goring, was a small but long-lived tropical cyclone in July 2015 that traveled 7,640 km (4,750 mi) across the Pacific Ocean. The fifth named storm of the 2015 Pacific hurricane season, Halola originated from a Western Pacific monsoon trough that had expanded into the Central Pacific by July 5. Over the next several days, the system waxed and waned due to changes in wind shear before organizing into a tropical depression on July 10 while well southwest of Hawaii. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Halola on the next day as it traveled westward. Halola crossed the International Date Line on July 13 and entered the Western Pacific, where it was immediately recognized as a severe tropical storm. The storm further strengthened into a typhoon over the next day before encountering strong wind shear on July 16, upon which it quickly weakened into a tropical depression as it passed south of Wake Island. However, the shear relaxed on July 19, allowing Halola to reintensify. On July 21, Halola regained typhoon status and later peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of 150 km/h (93 mph) and a minimum pressure of 955 hPa. From July 23 onward, increasing wind shear and dry air caused Halola to weaken slowly. The system fell below typhoon intensity on July 25 as it began to recurve northwards. Halola made landfall over Kyushu on July 26 as a tropical storm and dissipated in the Tsushima Strait shortly after.
Typhoon Malakas, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Gener, was a powerful tropical cyclone which affected Taiwan and Japan in mid September 2016. It was the sixteenth named storm and the sixth typhoon of the annual typhoon season in 2016.
Typhoon Noru was the second-longest-lasting tropical cyclone of the Northwest Pacific Ocean on record—behind only 1986's Wayne and tied with 1972's Rita—and the second-most-intense tropical cyclone of the basin in 2017, tied with Talim. Forming as the fifth named storm of the annual typhoon season on July 20, Noru further intensified into the first typhoon of the year on July 23. However, Noru began to interact with nearby Tropical Storm Kulap on July 24, executing a counterclockwise loop southeast of Japan. Weakening to a severe tropical storm on July 28, Noru began to restrengthen as it turned sharply to the west on July 30. Amid favorable conditions, Noru rapidly intensified into the season's first super typhoon, and reached peak intensity with annular characteristics on July 31. In early August, Noru underwent a gradual weakening trend while curving northwestwards and then northwards. After stalling off the Satsunan Islands weakening to a severe tropical storm again on August 5, the system began to accelerate northeastwards towards the Kansai region of Japan, making landfall in Wakayama Prefecture on August 7. Noru became extratropical over the Sea of Japan on August 8, and dissipated one day later.
The 2021 Pacific typhoon season was the second consecutive to have below-average tropical cyclone activity, with twenty-two named storms, and was the least active since 2011. Nine became typhoons, and five of those intensified into super typhoons. This low activity was caused by a strong La Niña that had persisted from the previous year. The season's first named storm, Dujuan, developed on February 16, while the last named storm, Rai, dissipated on December 21. The season's first typhoon, Surigae, reached typhoon status on April 16. It became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day, also becoming the strongest tropical cyclone in 2021. Surigae was also the most powerful tropical cyclone on record in the Northern Hemisphere for the month of April. Typhoons In-fa and Rai are responsible for more than half of the total damage this season, adding up to a combined total of $2.02 billion.
The 2022 Pacific typhoon season was the third consecutive season to have below-average tropical cyclone activity, with twenty-five named storms, of which ten became typhoons, and three intensified into super typhoons. The season saw a slightly below average activity by named storm count, although many of the storms were weak and short-lived, particularly towards the end of the season. This low activity was caused by an unusually strong La Niña that had persisted from 2020. The season's first named storm, Malakas, developed on April 6, while the last named storm, Pakhar, dissipated on December 12. The season's first typhoon, Malakas, reached typhoon status on April 12. The season ran throughout 2022, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. Tropical storms Megi and Nalgae were responsible for more than half of the casualties, while typhoons Hinnamnor and Nanmadol both caused $1 billion in damages.
The 2023 Pacific typhoon season is an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season runs throughout 2023, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Sanvu, developed on April 21. The following month, Mawar, intensified into the first typhoon of the season on May 21, becoming one of the strongest Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclones on record in May, and the second-strongest early-season tropical cyclone, behind only Surigae in April 2021. An exceptionally notable storm was Typhoon Doksuri in mid-late July, which devastated the northern Philippines, Taiwan and China, causing $15.4 billion in damage, as well as becoming the costliest typhoon to hit Mainland China.
Severe Tropical Storm Ampil, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Inday, was a tropical cyclone that caused moderate damage in the Ryukyu Islands and East and Northeast China in late July 2018. The tenth named storm of the annual typhoon season, Ampil developed into a tropical depression east of Luzon on July 17. The system gradually strengthened over the following days amid a marginally favorable environment and became a severe tropical storm late on July 19 as it moved northwest. Maintaining its strength, Ampil passed over Okinawa Island from July 20 to 21. Thereafter, Ampil weakened slightly while crossing the East China Sea, before making landfall in Shanghai, China, on July 22. The system weakened slowly over land and degraded to a tropical depression on July 23. The system turned eastwards as it continued weakening over land, diminishing to a remnant low on July 25 and dissipating fully a day later over the Russian Far East.
Typhoon Maysak, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Julian, was a deadly, damaging and powerful tropical cyclone that struck the Ryukyu Islands and the Korean Peninsula in September 2020. The third typhoon of the 2020 Pacific typhoon season, Maysak formed from a tropical disturbance. The disturbance gradually organized, receiving the name Julian from PAGASA as it became a tropical depression. As the depression strengthened, the JMA subsequently named the system Maysak. Maysak rapidly intensified into a strong typhoon before weakening and making landfall in South Korea.
Typhoon Prapiroon, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Florita, was a Category 1 typhoon that worsened the floods in Japan and also caused impacts in neighboring South Korea. The storm formed from an area of low pressure near the Philippines, and strengthened to a typhoon before entering the Sea of Japan. Prapiroon was the seventh named tropical cyclone and the first typhoon of the annual annual typhoon season. While Florita was the sixth named tropical cyclone by PAGASA.
Tropical Storm Kirogi, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Tino, was a weak tropical cyclone that affected the Philippines and Vietnam. The thirty-ninth tropical depression, twenty-fifth tropical storm, and fourteenth system to affect Vietnam in the 2017 Pacific typhoon season, Kirogi formed as a tropical depression on November 16 in the Moro Gulf. After being given the local name Tino by the PAGASA, it entered the South China Sea, intensifying into a tropical storm and receiving the name Kirogi from the Japan Meteorological Agency on November 18. Continuing westwards, it weakened into a tropical depression before making landfall near Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam on the next day, dissipating shortly afterwards. Kirogi's remnants later contributed to the formation of Cyclone Ockhi.
Severe Tropical Storm Kompasu, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Maring was a very large and deadly tropical cyclone that affected the Philippines, Taiwan, and southeast China. Part of the 2021 Pacific typhoon season, Kompasu originated from an area of low pressure east of the Philippines on 6 October 2021. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified it as a tropical depression that day. A day later, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) classified it as a tropical depression, naming it Maring. The cyclone was initially heavily disorganised, competing with another vortex, Tropical Depression Nando. Eventually, Maring became dominant, and the JMA reclassified it as a tropical storm, naming it Kompasu. Kompasu made landfall in Cagayan, Philippines, on 11 October 2021, and two days later, the storm made landfall in Hainan, China. The cyclone dissipated on 14 October 2021 while located over Vietnam.
