Pacific typhoon seasons
1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003

The 2001 Pacific typhoon season was the fourth and final consecutive year with below-average activity, mainly due to the presence of a strong

tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean tending between May and November.[2]

The season was relatively inactive, with the first named storm, Cimaron, not developing until May 9. Taiwan suffered the most destruction from typhoons this year, with Typhoons Toraji, Nari, and Lekima being responsible for nearly 300 deaths in that island alone, making it one of the deadliest typhoon seasons in recorded history in that island. In November, Typhoon Lingling impacted the Philippines, killing 171 people, making it one of the deadliest Philippine storms this century. The season ended with the formation of Tropical Storm Vamei during the last week of December. Vamei would be notable for becoming the lowest latitude tropical storm, at 1.4°N, ever to be observed in the Northwest Pacific.

The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration
or PAGASA. This often results in the same storm having two names.

During the year, the

Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, as designated by the World Meteorological Organization in 1989. The JMA issued forecasts and analyses every six hours starting at midnight UTC using numerical weather prediction (NWP) and a climatological tropical cyclone forecast model. They used the Dvorak technique and NWP to estimate 10-minute sustained winds and barometric pressure. The JTWC also issued warnings on storms within the basin, operating from Pearl Harbor in Hawaii
and supplying forecasts to the United States Armed Forces in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

On January 31, Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) issued their extended range forecast for the Northwest Pacific in 2001, predicting near-average activity in terms of tropical storms, but a slightly below average in terms of typhoons. They predict that around 28 tropical storms would form, in which 17 of them would become typhoons, and 8 would further intensify to intense typhoons. TSR uses anomalous patterns of

La Niña is expected — which tends to suppress tropical cyclone activity or intensity.[3] On June 15, TSR issued their pre-season forecast, predicting a neutral typhoon season. Predicted tropical storm numbers have decreased to 26, but both their predicted typhoon and intense typhoon numbers have increased to 18 and 9, respectively. The key factor to this prediction is now due to the anticipated neutral value for the August–September SST forecast in the Niño 4 region (5°S – 5°N, 150°W – 160°E) of +0.27 °C.[4]

The Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index for the 2001 Pacific typhoon season as calculated by Colorado State University using data from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center was 307.3 units.[1] Broadly speaking, ACE is a measure of the power of a tropical or subtropical storm multiplied by the length of time it existed. It is only calculated for full advisories on specific tropical and subtropical systems reaching or exceeding wind speeds of 39 miles per hour (63 km/h).

The season ran with weak

sea-surface temperatures in the Niño 3.4 region of around -0.3 °C. It was the final year of a rather strong La Niña episode that persisted throughout most of the Pacific Ocean since 1998.[5] This was demonstrated with this season's tropical activity being more active than the previous three seasons, but overall tropical activity still remaining below average.[6]

2001 opened with Tropical Storm Soulik, from the previous season, active in the Philippine Sea. Soulik strengthened into the first typhoon seen this year and reached its peak intensity as a Category 3-equivalent typhoon on January 3, before quickly dissipating the next day.[7] The formation of Tropical Depression 01W (Auring), however, officially initiated the start of the annual typhoon season on February 17.[8] No tropical cyclones developed until after two months later, when another tropical depression had developed to the southeast of the Philippines.[9] Tropical cyclogenesis gradually increased when May arrived – with three tropical systems developing. Two of these systems were only recognised as minor tropical depressions, while the other strengthened to the first official named storm of this year, Cimaron, which moved through the Philippine archipelago in the middle of the month.[10]

Systems

Tropical Depression 01W (Auring)

Tropical depression (JMA)
Tropical depression (SSHWS)
 
DurationFebruary 17 – February 20
Peak intensity55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min);
1004 hPa (mbar)

On 18:00 UTC of February 17, both the JMA and PAGASA began to track a tropical depression that was located about 324 km (201 mi) to the northeast of Surigao of Northern Mindanao. The PAGASA named the system, Auring.[8] The JTWC followed suit and designated it 01W, six hours later.[11] Auring moved westward and began traversing the Philippine archipelago of Visayas. By February 19, the PAGASA issued its final warning on Auring.[8] The JTWC also issued its final advisory on the system on February 20.[11] The JMA downgraded the system to a low-pressure area, and its remnants tracked northward, where it was last noted off the coast of the Ilocos Region on February 23.[12]

Auring brought rainfall throughout most of Visayas and Mindanao. At least 18 people died, with most of these deaths due to landslides that occurred from the torrential rain. In Leyte and most of Mindanao, flooding submerged the homes of 159,785 people. Damages from crops and property have been estimated at ₱200 million (US$4.16 million).[8]

Tropical Depression 02W (Barok)

Tropical depression (JMA)
Tropical depression (SSHWS)
 
DurationApril 16 – April 18
Peak intensity45 km/h (30 mph) (10-min);
1004 hPa (mbar)

The PAGASA began issuing advisories on Tropical Depression Barok on 06:00 UTC of April 16, located to the wast of Palau.[9] Six hours later, the JTWC followed suit on initiating advisories, where they designated it as 02W. Barok moved in a northwestward direction well to the east of the Philippines without any intensification.[11] By April 19, both agencies stopped warning on the system when the depression quickly deteriorated. Even though warnings were discontinued, its remnants continued to show signs of life with several bursts of convection. This prompted the JTWC to issue a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on April 21, however its convection significantly weakened.[9]

Severe Tropical Storm Cimaron (Crising)

Severe tropical storm (JMA)
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationMay 9 – May 15
Peak intensity95 km/h (60 mph) (10-min);
985 hPa (mbar)

A weak low-level circulation center (LLCC) south of

Naha, Okinawa on May 14,[11] before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone and becoming last noted by the JMA on May 15.[13]

After having become an extratropical cyclone, strong winds struck the

Naha City, resulting in 19 people evacuating and a household losing power. The overall damages in Okinawa totaled ¥318 million (US$2.62 million).[16]

Typhoon Chebi (Emong)

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 3 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 19 – June 24
Peak intensity120 km/h (75 mph) (10-min);
965 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Typhoon Chebi (2001)

On June 19, an area of convection developed southeast of

Fuzhou City, China.[17] Chebi rapidly weakened while accelerating northward, and would degrade into an extratropical cyclone on June 24.[13] It's remnants were last noted by the JMA along with other weather centers before dissipating on June 30.[17]

Chebi killed 82 people, mostly in China, and left $422 million (2001 USD), $457 million (2005 USD). Chebi's heavy rains and strong winds left nine people dead, 28 missing and $13 million (2001 USD) in damage in the Philippines. Four of the nine were from a Belizean

Penghu Islands, which took the brunt of the typhoon, suffered considerable damage as 102 fishing boats sank and ten thousand people were left without power. The storm also crippled ground and air traffic.[19] A rain laden typhoon, Chebi produced 100 millimeters of rain across Guangdong.[20] About 73 people were killed in China, most of them in the southeastern province of Fujian.[21] The storm also destroyed several thousand acres of crops, resulting in economic losses. In Ningde, about 321,400 houses were destroyed by the typhoon.[22] About 22 people were killed in Hangzhou when a landslide burst through a construction wall.[23]

Severe Tropical Storm Durian

Severe tropical storm (JMA)
Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 29 – July 2
Peak intensity110 km/h (70 mph) (10-min);
970 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Tropical Storm Durian (2001)

The monsoon trough produced another disturbance that upgraded into a tropical depression to the west of Luzon on June 29. The tropical depression tracked northwestward while a subtropical ridge influenced the depression and caused it to upgrade to Tropical Storm Durian on June 30.[17] The storm attained severe tropical storm status at 18:00 UTC the same day,[13] with 10-minute winds of 110 km/h (70 mph) and 1-minute winds of 140 km/h (85 mph), making it equivalent to Category 1 winds on the Saffir–Simpson scale.[17] Durian had an atmospheric pressure of 970 hPa (29 inHg).[13] Durian made landfall on the Leizhou Peninsula,[13] before rapidly weakening as it continued in the same direction before the JTWC stopped advisories of the storm on July 2,[11] with the JMA doing the same the following day.[13]

The name Durian was submitted by

Thái Nguyên.[26]

Severe Tropical Storm Utor (Feria)

Severe tropical storm (JMA)
Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 1 – July 7
Peak intensity110 km/h (70 mph) (10-min);
960 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Tropical Storm Utor (2001)

Utor spawned from an area of convection that developed off 907 km (565 mi) south-southeast of Guam on June 26, that remained quasi-stationary for 2 days before upgrading to a tropical depression on July 1 due to favorable conditions such as low vertical shear.[27] The depression strengthen into a tropical storm at 00:00 UTC on July 2.[13][27] Utor tracked west-northwest from a peripheral ridge and developed further, after entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility, and attained severe tropical storm status the following day. Utor was a large cyclone, with gale-force wind of 250 nmi (465 km; 290 mi).[11] Utor reached its peak strength on June 4, with 10-minute winds of 110 km/h (70 mph) and 1-minute winds of 150 km/h (95 mph), with the barometric pressure of 960 hPa (28 inHg).[13][11] Utor was centered 56 km (35 mi) near northern Luzon and tracked northwesterly as it began to weaken.[27] The storm made landfall near the east of Hong Kong on July 5 and quickly weakened before being last noted on July 7 by the JMA.[13]

Utor, while not a very strong storm, brought heavy rain amounting to $297.2 million (2001 USD) in damage, as well as causing 203 fatalities.[27]

Tropical Storm Trami (Gorio)

Tropical storm (JMA)
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 8 – July 11
Peak intensity75 km/h (45 mph) (10-min);
994 hPa (mbar)

Tropical Storm Trami originated from a disturbance that developed about 222 km (138 mi) northwest of Chuuk on July 3.[11] Bursts of deep convection near the center were observed on the 7th, although the system remained disorganized.[27] Organization improved and by July 8, was upgraded to a tropical depression. Moving northwestward, the system gradually intensified, and the PAGASA began initiating advisories on 18:00 UTC of the same day, naming the system, Gorio. Six hours later, the JTWC already deemed the system as Tropical Depression 07W. Deep convection persisted to the west of its well-defined, but a partially exposed center. Thus, the system gained strength into a tropical storm, with the JMA naming it as Trami. Northeasterly shear prevented the storm to significantly intensify, and therefore Trami maintained tropical storm intensity for a day — only peaking with 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 75 km/h (45 mph).[27][13] By 12:00 UTC of July 11, Trami moved over Taiwan and into the Taiwan Strait, where Trami rapidly weakened and dissipated.[13]

Trami mostly affected Taiwan with just rainfall. However,

Kaohsiung City, streets were clogged with bonded cars due to severe flooding, and more than 100,000 homes were left without power. The floods resulted in only five deaths in the southern part of the city.[27]

Tropical Depression 08W

Tropical depression (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 10 – July 11
Peak intensity45 km/h (30 mph) (1-min);
1002 hPa (mbar)

The JTWC began tracking Tropical Depression 08W about 972 km (604 mi) southwest of

shortwave trough, causing it to weaken and dissipate the next day.[27]

Typhoon Kong-rey

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 2 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 21 – July 28
Peak intensity130 km/h (80 mph) (10-min);
955 hPa (mbar)

Tropical Depression 09W developed from an area of

extratropical.[13][11] Its remnants was still tracked until it reached the southwestern Aleutian Islands on August 3.[27]

Severe Tropical Storm Yutu (Huaning)

Severe tropical storm (JMA)
Category 2 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 22 – July 26
Peak intensity100 km/h (65 mph) (10-min);
975 hPa (mbar)

A tropical depression had developed to the east of the northern tip of

Dianbai District. Yutu significantly weakened and fully dissipated on July 26.[27]

Upon its landfall, Yutu brought gusty winds and rainfall throughout the

¥700 million (US$109 million). No fatalities were reported, however ten people were injured by Yutu in Hong Kong.[27][11]

Typhoon Toraji (Isang)

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 3 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 25 – August 1
Peak intensity140 km/h (85 mph) (10-min);
960 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Typhoon Toraji (2001)

A persistent but isolated deep convection near a broad LLCC was embedded to the monsoon trough approximately 356 mi (573 km) west of Guam on July 24. After organization and further development, the disturbance formed as Tropical Depression 11W and received the name Isang from PAGASA on July 25.[27] The depression was far east of the Philippines as it tracked northwestward then west-northwestward. 11W intensified to tropical storm strength on July 27 east of Luzon. Toraji attained further to severe tropical storm status at 12:00 UTC before become a typhoon at 18:00 UTC the same day.[13] Toraji moved north-northwesterly due to forming in a weakness in the subtropical ridge.[27] Typhoon Toraji reached its peak strength on July 28, with 10-minute winds of 140 km/h (85 mph) and 1-minute winds of 185 km/h (115 mph), with the barometric pressure of 960 hPa (28 inHg), after making landfall in eastern Taiwan.[13][11] Toraji weakened and was downgraded to a tropical depression while being near the coast of southeastern China on July 30, before making landfall that day. Toraji transitioned to an extratropical cyclone on August 1 before dissipating 2 days later.[13]

Torrential rainfall produced by the storm triggered flash flooding and landslides across Taiwan, killing 200 people and leaving NT$7.7 billion (US$245 million) in damage.[28][29] At least 30 people were killed in a village located in Nantou County which was completely buried by mud and rocks. In the wake of the storm, Taiwan's Premier, Chang Chun-hsiung criticized the excessive development of Taiwan and lack of heedance of possible negative effects for the significant loss of life from Toraji. He also initiated a reforestation project to avoid future disasters of a similar scale.[30]

Typhoon Man-yi

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 4 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 1 – August 9
Peak intensity150 km/h (90 mph) (10-min);
955 hPa (mbar)

On July 31, the JTWC started to monitor on a tropical disturbance that had developed about 278 km (173 mi) to the north of Pohnpei. The system developed into a tropical depression the next day, with the JTWC designating it as 12W. A central dense overcast built up over cloud tops as cold as −83 °C (−117 °F) from infrared satellite imagery.[31] 12W further strengthened to a tropical storm by August 2, with the JMA receiving the name Man-yi.[13]

The system gradually intensified as it moved northwest, with the JTWC considering Man-yi a minimal typhoon on the next day.

extratropical transition. The JTWC issued their final advisory later that day, but the JMA still tracked the system until 12:00 UTC of August 9.[31]

Tropical Storm Usagi

Tropical storm (JMA)
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 8 – August 11
Peak intensity65 km/h (40 mph) (10-min);
992 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Tropical Storm Usagi (2001)

A weak tropical depression had persisted in the South China Sea, just west off Luzon on August 8.[13] On the next day, operationally, the JTWC began on issuing advisories on the system as Tropical Depression 13W.[11] However post-analysis showed that the system had already intensified into a tropical depression several hours earlier. Despite with an exposed center, a weak banding feature began to develop around it. Organization of the 13W improved slightly, and by August 10, the system had intensified into a tropical storm, with the JMA naming it Usagi.[31][13] Usagi reached its maximum intensity only with 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 65 km/h (40 mph). By 18:00 UTC, Usagi moved inland Vietnam, just to the south of Hanoi, and therefore the JTWC issued its final advisory on the system. The storm continued moving westward over land until it was last noticed by the JMA on August 11.[31]

The storm brought heavy rainfall and flash flooding mostly in

Lom Sak District where its effects were much worse. At least 176 people have perished from the storm in Thailand, with most of these fatalities recorded in that district alone.[33]

Typhoon Pabuk

Main article: Typhoon Pabuk (2001)

DurationAugust 13 – August 22
Peak intensity130 km/h (80 mph) (10-min);
960 hPa (mbar)

On August 13, the JMA started to track a tropical depression that was embedded to the

extratropical.[31]

Pabuk brought heavy rainfall in the southern part of

Okinawa, with the Kii Peninsula being forecast to have rainfall of about 300 mm (12 in).[37] Around 70 homes were flooded in the island of Amami Ōshima alone. Moreover, the launch of the next-generation rocket H-IIA was also halted due to stormy conditions.[38] Throughout Japan, the storm resulted in eight fatalities and 141 injured people. 917 hectares of fields were damaged. Total damages from the typhoon amounted to ¥6.3 billion (US$52 million).[39]

Tropical Depression 15W

DurationAugust 24 – August 28
Peak intensity55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min);
1000 hPa (mbar)

On 12:00 UTC of August 24, the JMA started to track a weak tropical depression that had developed about 648 km (403 mi) to the northwest of

frontal boundary.[31] Afterwards, 15W re-curved and began moving northwestward until it neared Hokkaido on 00:00 UTC of August 28, when the system was absorbed by a stationary front.[40]

Typhoon Wutip

Very strong typhoon (JMA)
Category 4 super typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 26 – September 2
Peak intensity165 km/h (105 mph) (10-min);
930 hPa (mbar)

A tropical disturbance that was embedded in a broad monsoonal circulation developed in the Philippine Sea on August 25.[31] The JMA classified the system as a tropical depression on the next day.[13] Early on August 27, the JTWC followed suit and began initiating advisories on Tropical Depression 16W, after improved organisation and increased convection.[11] 16W quickly strengthened into a tropical storm thereafter, with the JMA naming it Wutip.[13]

By August 28, an eye feature began to develop, forcing both agencies to quickly upgrade Wutip to a typhoon.

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 28 – September 1
Peak intensity65 km/h (40 mph) (10-min);
990 hPa (mbar)

Initially an area of thunderstorms formed west of Luzon late on August 26, possibly due to the remains of former Tropical Depression Jolina. Late on August 28 it formed into a tropical depression about 300 miles (480 km) south-southwest of Hong Kong. It moved west-northwest over northeastern Hainan late on August 29, before becoming a tropical storm 24 hours later. Early on August 31, the tropical storm began to drift north towards China. That evening, it struck Dongxing before weakening back into a tropical depression on September 1 and dissipating the following day.[31]

Excessive rains fell in mainland China, with locations in

yuan (US$165.2 million). In all, 3680 houses were nearly destroyed, four died, and 3.5 million people were impacted by the tropical storm.[31]

Typhoon Danas

Main article: Typhoon Danas (2001)
Very strong typhoon (JMA)
Category 3 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 3 – September 12
Peak intensity155 km/h (100 mph) (10-min);
945 hPa (mbar)

An area of

subtropical ridge located to its north, Danas quickly intensified.[41] The JTWC upgraded Danas to a minimal typhoon by 18:00 UTC of September 4, while the JMA did the same six hours later.[13][11] As the typhoon began moving poleward, satellite imagery depicted on a development of a small eye with good convective banding. Hence, Danas intensified to a Category 2 typhoon. By 06:00 UTC of September 6, Danas reached peak intensity as a Category 4 typhoon – however post-analysis after the season showed that Danas only peaked as a Category 3 typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of 195 km/h (121 mph). The typhoon maintained its intensity for the next 18 hours, until its eye became cloud-filled. Danas curved westward until a mid-latitude trough had weakened the ridge, causing the storm to move in a north-northeastward direction. The typhoon began to rapidly weaken, and by 00:35 UTC of September 11, Danas had already made landfall just to the southwest of Yokosuka. After crossing the eastern portion of Honshu, Danas weakened to a tropical storm.[41] Both the JMA and the JTWC issued its final advisory on Danas on September 12, when it transitioned into an extratropical cyclone.[13][11] Its remnants reached the Aleutian Islands two days later.[41]

On September 10, Danas spawned a tornado near the city of Ochiai, just outside Tokyo. Along its track, the tornado damaged roofs, downed trees and injured one person. Following an assessment of the damage, the Tokyo District Meteorological Observatory ranked it as an F1 on the Fujita scale. According to reliable records, this was the eleventh tornado to touch down in the Kantō region.[42] The town of Nikkō had recorded 870 mm (34 in) of rainfall over a four-day period. More than 140 domestic and international flights were canceled due to extreme winds and torrential rainfall.[41] Throughout Japan, Danas was responsible for eight fatalities and injured 48 people. Damages from the storm amounted to ¥11.1 billion (US$91 million).[43]

Typhoon Nari (Kiko)

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 3 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 5 – September 21
Peak intensity140 km/h (85 mph) (10-min);
960 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Typhoon Nari (2001)

On September 5, a tropical depression developed northeast of Taiwan. Weak currents, which were prevalent throughout its lifetime, caused it to drift to the northeast where it became a tropical storm on the 6th.

Okinawa, and became a typhoon on the 7th.[13] Over the next 5 days, Nari executed a triple loop over open waters, reaching a peak of 115 mph (185 km/h) winds before weakening to a tropical storm on the 14th. It restrengthened to a typhoon, and as it continued southwestward, Nari reached 100 mph (160 km/h) winds before hitting northeastern Taiwan on the 16th. The storm drifted across the island, emerging into the South China Sea on the 18th as a tropical depression.[41] It continued westward, and finally made landfall east of Hong Kong as a 65 mph (105 km/h) tropical storm on the 20th before dissipating as a tropical depression near the southern Chinese coasts.[13]

Nari caused 92 casualties[44] and up to 50 inches (1,300 mm) of rain led to torrential flooding.

Typhoon Vipa

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 17 – September 21
Peak intensity120 km/h (75 mph) (10-min);

Late on September 19, an area of

sustained winds of 175 km/h (109 mph).[11] Lekima made landfall near the city of Dawu, nine hours later. Shortly thereafter, due to the mountainous terrains of Taiwan, Lekima's structure had rapidly deteriorated and the typhoon had weakened back into a tropical storm.[41] On September 27, Lekima further weakened to a tropical depression as it moved further north of the island.[13] However, the JTWC re-upgraded Lekima back to a minimal tropical storm for a twelve-hour period on September 28, before weakening again as it moved over the western waters of the island.[11] Lekima moved northward, then northeastward, before dissipating on September 30.[13]

The typhoon caused severe impacts in Taiwan as what

landslides blocked highways due to the slow and erratic movement of the storm. Two fishermen drowned at sea with another person on board presumed drowned. In the Philippine archipelago of Luzon, one person drowned in a river due to heavy rainfall. Another fatality was seen in mainland China, where a person died in the province of Zhejiang due to a landslide on September 29.[41]

Typhoon Krosa

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 3 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationOctober 3 – October 9
Peak intensity150 km/h (90 mph) (10-min);
950 hPa (mbar)

A rapidly developing area of

baroclinic zone and became extratropical.[13][11]

Typhoon Haiyan (Maring)

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 2 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationOctober 11 – October 18
Peak intensity130 km/h (80 mph) (10-min);
960 hPa (mbar)

Tropical Depression 25W formed over the Philippine Sea on October 11.[11] The PAGASA named it as Maring 3 hours later. Maring steadily moved northwards due to an intensifying high-pressure area moving southwestwards, as the JTWC upgraded it to a tropical storm on October 13. In the same time, Maring became Tropical Storm Haiyan. The next day, the three agencies, upgraded it to a typhoon. Typhoon Haiyan reached peak intensity with winds equivalent to Category 2 strength on October 15. As the high-pressure moved westwards, Haiyan rapidly weakened to a minimal typhoon and moved westwards too, affecting Taiwan. Haiyan finally dissipated on October 18.[46]

Throughout Japan and the Ryukyu Islands, two people were killed by the typhoon and another was injured. Damage from the storm amounted to 296.024 million yen (US$3.4 million).[citation needed]

Typhoon Podul

Very strong typhoon (JMA)
Category 5 super typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationOctober 18 – October 27
Peak intensity185 km/h (115 mph) (10-min);
925 hPa (mbar)

Typhoon Podul originated from an area of convection located near Pohnpei on October 16. The system experienced vertical wind shear before strengthening to a tropical depression on October 18, before upgrading further to a tropical storm on October 20.[11] Due to the increase of deep convection and the organization of the system's center, Podul was upgraded to a typhoon by the JTWC on the 21st while being centered about 480 km (300 mi) north-northwest of Pohnpei or 1,296 km (805 mi) east of Guam.[46] The JMA however, upgraded the storm the following day to Typhoon Podul, as the storm shifted north-northeastward after making a half-counterclockwise turn.[13]

Podul underwent steady intensification while its well-defined eye had developed on October 23. As it continued its northwestward trek, satellite imagery showed that Podul underwent a concentric eyewall cycle on the 24th.[11] Podul reached its peak intensity on the 25th, with 10-minute winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) and 1-minute winds of 260 km/h (160 mph), prompting the JTWC to classify the storm as a super typhoon.[46] Its barometric pressure was 925 hPa (27.3 inHg) by that time.[13] Although it still had super typhoon strength, Podul showed its first signs of extratropical transition and by 18:00 UTC, was located 1,296 km (805 mi) northwest of Wake Island. Podul would retain the super typhoon strength for 72 hours, before its winds weakened to 220 km/h (135 mph).[46] Podul recurved and accelerated north-northeast as it began to rapidly weaken from dry air and cold air advection and transitioned to an extratropical cyclone on the 28th before dissipating the next day.[46]

Typhoon Lingling (Nanang)

Very strong typhoon (JMA)
Category 4 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationNovember 6 – November 12
Peak intensity155 km/h (100 mph) (10-min);
940 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Typhoon Lingling (2001)

A tropical depression formed in the Philippine Sea on November 5. It moved westward, hitting the Philippines on the 6th.[11] The depression strengthened over the archipelago, becoming a tropical storm on the 7th. Lingling continued to intensify, reaching a peak of 130 mph (210 km/h) winds on the 10th in the South China Sea. The next day, the typhoon hit central Vietnam as a 110 mph (180 km/h) typhoon, and dissipated on the 12th.[13]

Lingling, like most typhoons, brought torrential rains and flooding, resulting in 171 deaths in the Philippines (with 118 missing) and 18 deaths in Vietnam.[47]

Tropical Depression 28W (Ondoy)

Tropical depression (PAGASA)
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationNovember 17 – November 25
Peak intensity55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min);
996 hPa (mbar)

A tropical disturbance associated with the

Samar Island, and shifted its movement north-northwestward. The JTWC issued its final advisory on 18:00 UTC of November 24, however both the JMA and PAGASA still tracked the system until November 25.[47]

Tropical Depression 29W (Pabling)

Tropical depression (PAGASA)
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationNovember 18 – November 24
Peak intensity55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min);
1004 hPa (mbar)

On November 18, the JMA began to track a tropical depression that had developed about 426 km (265 mi) northeast of Singapore. By the next day, the system began to drift eastward, with satellite imagery depicting a convective banding feature with some deep convection.[47] The JTWC upgraded the system to a tropical depression and issued its first advisory on 06:00 UTC of November 20, receiving the designation 29W.[11] 29W intensified into a tropical storm by the JTWC on 00:00 UTC of November 21, when the system's vortex became well-defined. By the next day, the storm entered the western portion of the Philippine area of responsibility, with PAGASA giving the name Pabling.[47] On November 23, the JTWC downgraded Pabling back to a tropical depression after the system encountered increasing wind shear. The JTWC issued its final advisory shortly thereafter, when the storm was located just off the southern tip of Palawan. Pabling slowly dissipated the next day when it emerged in the waters of the Sulu Sea.[47]

Tropical Storm Kajiki (Quedan)

Tropical storm (JMA)
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationDecember 4 – December 9
Peak intensity65 km/h (40 mph) (10-min);
996 hPa (mbar)

In the first few days of December, an area of convection developed to the south of Guam. By December 4, both the JMA and the PAGASA upgraded the system into a tropical depression, with the PAGASA naming it Quedan. After deep convection was seen developing from multi-spectral imagery,[48] the JTWC followed suit and began issuing advisories on 00:00 UTC of December 5 — giving the identifier of 30W.[11] On the same day, the system intensified into a tropical storm, with the JMA naming it as Kajiki.[13] Kajiki moved in a west-northwestward direction, traversing the islands of Visayas. By December 7, Kajiki emerged to the South China Sea, where unfavorable wind shear weakened the system. At this point, the storm's center started to become exposed and the storm's structure started to deteriorate. Both the JTWC and the JMA downgraded Kajiki to a tropical depression on the next day.[48] The JMA tracked Kajiki until it neared the eastern coast of Vietnam on December 9.[13]

Tropical Storm 31W

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationDecember 10 – December 13
Peak intensity65 km/h (40 mph) (1-min);
997 hPa (mbar)

Operationally the same system as Typhoon Faxai, an area of unorganised convection in a region of weak to moderate vertical wind shear had persisted to the southwest of Pohnpei on December 10.[48] By 12:00 UTC of the same day, the JTWC upgraded the system to Tropical Depression 31W.[11] Satellite imagery and animations showed that there were multiple centers within the large-scale center, which made it difficult to track. By December 12, the system finally gained convection near its center.[48] 31W briefly reached tropical storm intensity by the JTWC on 18:00 UTC of the same day.[11] The storm was still difficult to track, which made one warning relocating the storm's center near the island of Kosrae.[48] However, after post-analysis, this center was a newly developed center that originated from the same surface trough of 31W. This new center eventually became Tropical Storm Faxai.[11]

Typhoon Faxai

Violent typhoon (JMA)
Category 5 super typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationDecember 13 – December 25
Peak intensity195 km/h (120 mph) (10-min);
915 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Typhoon Faxai (2001)

Typhoon Faxai originated from a low-latitude monsoon trough in the Caroline Islands that developed from the remnants of 31W through post-analysis on December 13.[48][11] The system would later become a tropical depression, giving it the initial designated name 31W by the JTWC. The tropical depression upgraded to a tropical storm by the JTWC on December 15, before the JMA follows suit on December 16, giving the storm the name Faxai. Tropical Storm Faxai remained stationed around Kosrae for several days before slowly moving in eastward motion. The storm then drifted west-northwestward and became more organized.[48] By December 21, the storm intensified into a typhoon and formed an eye.

The storm steadily went on a west-northwestward direction while positioned approximately 1,204 km (748 mi) southeast of the

Christmas Day, a significant decrease of deep convective clouds and bands occurred.[48][13] The JTWC issued its final bulletin as it declared that Faxai became extratropical and later dissipated. It's remnants were noted on December 26 by the JMA.[48]

Initially Faxai was classified as part of Tropical Depression 31W, but post-analysis considers the early part of Faxai's life a separate storm. As such, Faxai was classified as 33W in post-analysis.

Tropical Storm Vamei

Tropical storm (JMA)
Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
 
DurationDecember 26 – December 28
(Exited basin on Dec. 29)
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (10-min);
1006 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Tropical Storm Vamei

Tropical Depression 32W formed 370 kilometres (230 miles) east of

SGT) on December 26. It is extremely unusual to see tropical development this close to the equator.[48] The initial position of 1.4° N means this storm formed only 167 kilometres (104 mi) north of the equator.[13] On December 27 it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Vamei, and shortly thereafter it made landfall in Malaysia.[11] Emerging into the Indian Ocean on December 29 as a Tropical Depression, it briefly re-strengthened before dissipating on January 1.[48]

Other systems

A tropical depression over Shanghai on August 6

On May 6, the JMA tracked a weak tropical depression off the northeastern coast of Mindanao. The system degenerated into a low-pressure area the next day.[55]

A tropical depression was briefly tracked by the Central Weather Bureau of Taiwan in the middle of May. On May 14, a tropical disturbance had developed off the coast of

Nam Dinh province early on May 17. The Taiwan weather bureau only classified the system as a tropical depression in one of their bulletins.[10]

On June 16, the PAGASA began initiating advisories on Tropical Depression Darna, that has developed just off the eastern coast of Luzon. As the system moved near the extreme northern portion of the archipelago, the system began in a north-northeastward trajectory towards Taiwan. On June 19, the JMA followed suit on classifying Darna to a tropical depression, however, being located in an area of weakly sheared environment, the system rapidly weakened and dissipated.[17][56]

On August 2, the JMA started to track a tropical depression that had developed about 972 km (604 mi) southeast of

Huangpu District, Shanghai getting 289 mm (11.4 in) of rainfall. Due to this, 30,000 houses were destroyed, and moreover, the system produced a tornado near the area.[31]

On August 16, the PAGASA started to track Tropical Depression Jolina to the west of Dagupan. The depression slowly meandered in the place until its system's center became exposed, and dissipated on August 21.[31]

On October 20, a tropical depression had developed a couple hundred miles east of the coast of

₫1.5 trillion (US$66.6 million).[46]

The

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. 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. 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. Starting in 2001, new sets of names are implemented. The names not retired from this list would be used again in the 2005 season
. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray.
