(Redirected from Typhoon Haiyan (disambiguation))

The name Haiyan was used to name three tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by China and means petrel.

  • Typhoon Haiyan (2001) (T0121, 25W, Maring) – a Category 2 typhoon that affected Taiwan and Ryukyu Islands.
  • Tropical Storm Haiyan (2007) (T0716, 27W) – a short-lived tropical storm which initially showed subtropical characteristics.
  • Typhoon Haiyan (2013) (T1330, 31W, Yolanda) – an extremely powerful and deadly Category 5-equivalent super typhoon that caused catastrophic destruction in the Philippines, causing at least 6,300 deaths.

The name "Haiyan" was retired after the 2013 typhoon season and was replaced with Bailu in the 2019 season which is a white deer, which stands for "auspiciousness" in Chinese language.
