However, the agency stopped naming cyclones after this season as the Japan Meteorological Agency started naming systems. Once in the West Pacific, Tropical Storm Dora turned towards the northwest and weakened further as wind shear increased. PAGASA named the storm Auring.

[49], Tropical Depression 23W formed about 165 km (103 mi) to the east of Okinawa on September 15, from a disturbance moving to the northwest under the influence of a subtropical high located on the eastern side of a monsoon trough. [29], Early in August, a low-level circulation center formed within a monsoon gyre to the southwest of Guam. [4], A monsoon depression began to develop between Pohnpei and Chuuk on February 10 as it moved west. The peak sustained winds of 150 km/h (95 mph) were recorded on Waglan Island and the peak gusts of 234 km/h (146 mph) were the highest on record there. [57] Kadena Air Base was badly damaged by the typhoon with over $5 million of damage on the base.

On August 1 Olga made landfall on the Japanese island as a typhoon, weakening slightly as it passed over the island. Several fishing boats were sunk and house damaged on Penghu. Tropical cyclones that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. The depression then moved inland and dissipated. [3] The mudslides caused about $1.3 million in damage (1999 USD, 15 million 1999 MYR) to roads throughout the country. The typhoon turned further to the west as it began to interact with Taiwan and started to weaken slowly. Ann captured by a mid-level trough moving through the region and turned to the east, rapidly weakening as it crossed the Yellow Sea.

There were wind gusts of up to 95 km/h (60 mph) on Cheju Island and the peak rainfall reported from the storm was over 200 mm (8 inches). [45], Late in August, a broad area of convection developed over a low pressure area in the Philippine Sea to the east of Luzon. The depression dissipated on July 18 to the southeast of Honshū. After the depression reached its peak with 55 km/h (35 mph) winds it began to accelerate to the west. [62], A disturbed area of weather to the south of Hong Kong in the South China Sea became more organized early on September 23, and the JTWC issued a TCFA for the system. [18] Maggie also brought rain of up to 100 mm (4 inches) to northern Vietnam, causing some localised flooding.

This video shows the 10 typhoons that hit the Philippines in ascending order (based on strength). The list of hurricane names covers only 21 letters of the alphabet as it is difficult to find six suitable names (one for each of the 6 rotating lists) starting with Q, U, X, Y and Z. During the season 21 named tropical cyclones developed in the Western Pacific and were named by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, when it was determined that they had become tropical storms. The JTWC initially forecast that the storm would only intensify slightly, as they predicted it to move north-northeast into an unfavorable environment. [65] Both the JMA and PAGASA treated this storm as a typhoon, with PAGASA naming it Pepang. An average of 20 typhoons hit the Philippines every year. The first typhoon ⦠Continue reading Typhoon Watch 2013: List of Typhoons ⦠The system dissipated soon afterwards, having never approached land.

Peak sustained winds of 96 km/h (60 mph) were recorded on Waglan Island as the typhoon passed over the territory. The tables also provide an overview of a systems intensity, duration, land areas affected and any deaths or damages associated with the system. Around this time, the subtropical ridge to Sam's north shifted its track in a westwards direction towards Luzon. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 10 of which are published each year before the season starts.

Over 800,000 homes lost power and 80,000 damaged in the aftermath of the storm. Typhoons are shown to have a significant negative, but short-lived impact on local economic activity in the Philippines, as proxied by the intensity of light usage at night measured from satellites. The depression made landfall on Samar Island the same day and moved to the northwest across the central Philippines throughout October 6. So, just like in the previous years (see the 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 lists), letâs log each typhoon as it enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

[37] Sam became the wettest tropical cyclone to affect Hong Kong since records began in 1884, dropping over 616 mm (24.2 inches) of rain, exceeding the previous record set in 1926. PAGASA predicts that 11 to 16 cyclones will enter the Philippine area of responsibility from June to December. One person was injured in Macau and 120 incidents related to the storm were reported there. The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, and since Haiyan, further typhoons such as Hagupit and Koppu have further tested the recovery efforts of the affected communities. By this time, its convection had become separated from its circulation. Although typhoons are often unpredictable, technology today allows us to monitor typhoons from satellites and computers in our efforts to track and understand these major weather events. The typhoon burst a dike in Kaohsiung and another in Tainan, that had been damaged by the earthquake. During this period, 11 names were removed from the list (refer to Table 1). [51], Two ships ran aground and a cargo ship sank, but all the crew were successfully rescued.

A subtropical ridge to the north of the system caused it to move southwest through the South China Sea and off the Vietnamese coast. MANILA, Philippines - Typhoon season has arrived here in the Philippines. Not long after peak intensity, increased wind shear began to expose the low level circulation and the depression began to weaken as it turned to the northeast. The storm dissipated on August 29 over water having never approached land. [23], Although Typhoon Olga never approached the Philippines closely, it was responsible for heavy rains over much of Luzon that killed 160 people and displaced 80,000.

[61] An additional $5 million (1999 USD) in damage occurred to the Japanese economy. PAGASA considered Wendy to have stronger winds than the JTWC, despite the fact that PAGASA uses a 10-minute averaging period to measure sustained winds, which generally results in a lower speed. The depression, which had an exposed circulation center, moved to the north under the influence of a subtropical ridge over northern Japan. The climate of the Philippines is highly influenced by the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Leo made landfall on May 2 as a tropical depression. [23] The Red Cross reported a further 42 deaths and 40,000 were made homeless from flooding in North Korea.

Abstract. On August 4 the depression became Tropical Storm Paul and began to merge with the gyre from which it had formed. PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in gray. There were five injuries resulting from Maggie in the territory and the total damages were approximately $100,000. The disturbance moved to the north without any significant development until September 13, when the outflow of the system markedly improved and it soon developed into a tropical depression to the east of Okinawa. [36] In addition, flooding from its rainfall displaced over 4000 people, and many major roads were closed due to landslides near Baguio. [57] As Typhoon Bart formed in PAGASA's area of responsibility, it was named Oniang by PAGASA before moving to the north. Typhoon Gloria became fully extratropical on November 16, having weakened back into a tropical storm.[77]. This difference was due to a difference in opinion between the two centers as to where the storm's center was. This table summarizes all the systems that developed within or moved into the North Pacific Ocean, to the west of the International Date Line during 1999. It formed the same monsoon trough that Tropical Storm Neil developed from to the east. York made landfall to the west of Hong Kong soon after and dissipated into a low pressure area over China the next day. Analita says: Good thing that we were able to rebuild and repair our damaged homes through the support of CARE. The storm became extratropical as it moved over the Korean Peninsula and it entered the Sea of Japan, where it dissipated. It was a very inactive season, featuring the lowest number of typhoons on record, five. The system gradually strengthened as it moved northwest towards the Chinese coastline, reaching its peak as a 130 km/h (80 mph) typhoon as it turned towards Hong Kong on September 16. It developed into the 25th depression of the season per the JTWC a few hours later and began to track to the northeast, under the influence of a mid-level ridge to the east. [28] The flooding in South Korea destroyed about 400 km2 (150 sq mi) of rice paddies and 8,500 homes, leaving 25,000 people homeless. Log in. At the time of the crash wind gusts in excess of 65 km/h (40 mph) were recorded at the airport. By December 11, when the storm was to the south of Vietnam, it became more sheared and the low-level circulation became exposed. There was limited flooding in the region and about 150 people were evacuated to emergency shelters. period covered: 28 October 1998 - 28 February, 1999 PHILIPPINES: 17 June, 1999 TYPHOONS AND FLOODS The context Between September and October 1998, three typhoons devastated northern and eastern parts of the Philippines. 2.

[59] A large crane in Hiroshima collapsed killing three and injuring four people in the Mitsubishi plant there and the Itsukushima Shrine was also damaged. A high level of wind shear restricted the storm's strength to 55 km/h (35 mph), which it maintained as it moved west towards Vietnam. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when mo⦠The storm turned to the north shortly before it made landfall on December 16 and dissipated soon after over Vietnam under the influence of increased wind shear and interaction with land. Unusually, PAGASA assessed the storm as having reached a peak on July 22, when the JTWC still considered it a developing disturbance. [64], Tropical Depression 26W developed over the Philippine Sea on October 1 about 750 km (470 mi) to the east of Luzon. The influence of a developing ridge to the southeast led to Frankie becoming quasi-stationary over the Sibuyan Sea. The worst damage was in Kumamoto Prefecture on Kyūshū, where 16 people died and over 45,000 homes were damaged. The storm made its final landfall in North Korea as a strong tropical storm later that day with 100 km/h (65 mph) winds and became extratropical soon after. PAGASA named the depression Diding soon after it formed and upgraded it to a tropical storm before the JTWC. [24] As the storm dissipated over Korea, it caused flash floods that killed at least seven and left 7,000 homeless. [9], On April 22, a tropical disturbance which had developed in the Philippine Sea moved over Mindanao and intensified into a tropical depression whilst it was still overland. Virgil maintained typhoon strength for over a day before it entered a highly sheared environment in which it began to weaken again. Aid workers from Operation Blessing, an international Christian humanitarian organization, are currently giving disaster relief to residents in the Bicol and Metro Manila regions of the ⦠The depression strengthened slightly to its peak with 55 km/h (35 mph) the next day, before increasing vertical shear took its toll on the system. Super Typhoon Zeb: In the year 1999 during the month of October, Super Typhoon Zeb had hit Luzon in Philippines and had wind speed of 285 kmph at the time of landfall. As it neared the Chinese coast a strong ridge to the north turned Cam abruptly to the west, towards Hong Kong and it began to weaken. The storm passed east of Okinawa on November 15, when the shear markedly reduced and allowed a rapid intensification to typhoon strength. [7] PAGASA named the system Karing and considered it a tropical depression. Later that day, the typhoon's motion accelerated to the northeast and it passed 9 km (5.6 mi) to the north of Iwo Jima. As Ann approached the Chinese coast to the north of Shanghai on September 18, it reached its peak with 85 km/h (50 mph) winds and began to recurve to the northwest. The weather bureau even warned that due to the El Niño phenomenon, this yearâs typhoons will be stronger. 2000 also works well since there was a significant ⦠[55] Rains of up to 200 mm (8 inches) from Ann and Typhoon Bart saturated South Korea and southwestern Japan, causing flooding and damage to rice paddies. [37], Typhoon Sam was responsible for seven deaths in the Philippines. Although the JMA classified the depression as a tropical storm, the JTWC did not follow suit. The system intensified as it moved west-northwest, becoming Tropical Storm Dan on October 3 before reaching typhoon strength the next day. [1] Both JMA and PAGASA tracked this system, but considered it a tropical depression. The death toll rose after relief officials reported eight deaths around Manila and ⦠[13], As Typhoon Leo was developing, its outer rainbands brought up to 130 mm (5 inches) to regions of Vietnam. 8 Signal for the fifth time in the year; the last time this had occurred was in 1964.
