| '''Typhoon Haiyan''' ({{zh|c=海燕|l=]}})<ref> National Public Radio, 2013-11-07. Quote: "The name Haiyan comes from China, where the word means "petrel" (the seabird)."</ref> of November 2013, known in the ] as '''Typhoon Yolanda''', is one of the strongest ]s ever recorded. The thirtieth named storm, thirteenth typhoon, and fifth super-typhoon of the ], Haiyan originated as an area of low pressure east-southeast of ] in the western ] on November 2. Tracking generally westward, the disturbance steadily developed within an environment of light wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures, becoming a tropical depression early the following day. After becoming a tropical storm and attaining the name ''Haiyan'' at 0000 UTC on November 4, the system began a period of ] that brought it to typhoon intensity by 1800 UTC on November 5. With an expanding and deepening central dense overcast and clear eye visible on satellite, the ] (JTWC) upgraded Haiyan to a super typhoon—a typhoon in which maximum sustained winds attain or exceed 240 km/h (150 mph)—early on November 6. After entering ]'s region of responsibility, the JTWC upgraded Haiyan to a Category 5 equivalent on the ]. | |||
| Steered by a subtropical ridge to the cyclone's north, the eye of Haiyan passed over the northern portion of ], where extensive wind damage was observed. Thereafter, it continued to intensify; at 1200 UTC on November 7, the ] (JMA) upgraded the storm's maximum ten-minute sustained winds to 235 km/h (145 mph), the highest in relation to the cyclone. At 1800 UTC, the JTWC estimated the system's one-minute sustained winds to 315 km/h (195 mph), unofficially making Haiyan the fourth most intense tropical cyclone ever observed. Several hours later, the eye of the cyclone made its first landfall in the ] at ], without any change in intensity; if verified, this would make Haiyan the strongest tropical cyclone to make a landfall on record, which may surpass the old record of 305 km/h (190 mph) set by ] in ]. On November 8, the cyclone entered the ] and was downgraded to a Category 4 typhoon by the JTWC. Readings indicated that Typhoon Haiyan dropped to Category 3 as it traversed the South China Sea, with gusts of up to {{convert|130|mph|abbr=on|disp=flip}} and 1-minute sustained winds of up to {{convert|120|mph|abbr=on|disp=flip}}. | |||
