It ran year-round in 2001, with most tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean tending between May and November.http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt Archived copy 2006-08-26 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20101130222503/http://typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt 2010-11-30 The early 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 International Date Line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 2001 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical storms that formed in the West Pacific basin are assigned a name by the Tokyo Typhoon Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions 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. This often results in the same storm having two names.

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 sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) over in the Niño 3.4 region (5°N-5°S, 120°W-170°W) during the August–September SST forecast as a predictor. With a predicted anomaly of −0.27 °C, a weak La Niña is expected — which tends to suppress tropical cyclone activity or intensity. 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. Seasonal summary February 2023 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.Basin Archives: Northwest Pacific Ocean Historical Tropical Cyclone Statistics http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/index.php?arch&loc=northwestpacific Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado 25 May 2023 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 mph km/h. The season ran with weak La Niña conditions during the first quarter of the year and near-normal conditions throughout the rest of the year, with average 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.Historical El Niño/La Niña episodes (1950–present) http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ensoyears.shtml United States Climate Prediction Center 1 February 2019 15 March 2019 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.Summary of 2001 NW Pacific Typhoon Season and Verification of Authors' Seasonal Forecasts https://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/docs/TSRNWP2001Verification.pdf January 25, 2002 Tropical Storm Risk 2001 opened with Tropical Storm Soulik, from the previous season, active in the Philippine Sea.

The PAGASA named the system, Auring. The JTWC followed suit and designated it 01W, six hours later. Auring moved westward and began traversing the Philippine archipelago of Visayas. By February 19, the PAGASA issued its final warning on Auring. The JTWC also issued its final advisory on the system on February 20. 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.http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/weather-chart/search_day.pl?lang=en&year=2001&month=2&day=17 Digital Typhoon: List of weather charts on February 23, 2001 (Fri) February 23, 2001 Digital Typhoon 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). Tropical Depression 02W (Barok) WPac Barok 2001-04-17 0137Z.jpg Barok 2001 track.png April 16 April 18 25 25 1004 The PAGASA began issuing advisories on Tropical Depression Barok on 06:00 UTC of April 16, located to the west of Palau. 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. 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. Severe Tropical Storm Cimaron (Crising) WPac Cimaron May 13 2001 0220Z.jpg Cimaron 2001 track.png May 9 May 15 50 60 985 A weak low-level circulation center (LLCC) south of Koror developed from a monsoon trough on May 4. The system was later upgraded to a tropical depression and was assigned 03W by the JTWC on May 7, before the JMA followed suit in upgrading its status on May 9, and at the same time, was assigned the name Crising by PAGASA after it entered its responsibility area. The following day, Tropical Depression 03W intensified to a tropical storm and was given the name Cimaron by the JMA.Japan Meteorological Agency Annual Report on Activities of the RSMC Tokyo – Typhoon Center 2001 http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/jma-center/rsmc-hp-pub-eg/AnnualReport/2001/Text/Text2001.pdf Tokyo, Japan May 3, 2023 The storm was weakened by vertical wind shear on May 12, before it resumed intensifying and by May 13, was upgraded to a severe tropical storm after attaining 10-minute sustained winds of 95 km/h mph on 5.

Chebi reached its peak intensity on June 23, before a trough forced Chebi west and northwest where it made landfall near Fuzhou City, China. Chebi rapidly weakened while accelerating northward, and would degrade into an extratropical cyclone on June 24. Its remnants were last noted by the JMA along with other weather centers before dissipating on June 30. 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.

The tropical depression tracked northwestward while a subtropical ridge influenced the depression and caused it to upgrade to Tropical Storm Durian on June 30. The storm attained severe tropical storm status at 18:00 UTC the same day, with 10-minute winds of 110 km/h mph on 5 and 1-minute winds of 140 km/h mph on 5, making it equivalent to Category 1 winds on the Saffir–Simpson scale. Durian had an atmospheric pressure of 970 hPa inHg on. Durian made landfall on the Leizhou Peninsula, before rapidly weakening as it continued in the same direction before the JTWC stopped advisories of the storm on July 2, with the JMA doing the same the following day.

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 km mi on 5. Utor reached its peak strength on June 4, with 10-minute winds of 110 km/h mph on 5 and 1-minute winds of 150 km/h mph on 5, with the barometric pressure of 960 hPa inHg on. Utor was centered 56 km mi on 5 near northern Luzon and tracked northwesterly as it began to weaken. 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. 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. Tropical Storm Trami (Gorio) WPac Trami Jul 10 2001 0255Z.jpg Trami 2001 track.png July 8 July 11 40 40 994 Tropical Storm Trami originated from a disturbance that developed about 222 km mi on northwest of Chuuk on July 3. Bursts of deep convection near the center were observed on the 7th, although the system remained disorganized. 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 mph on 5. By 12:00 UTC of July 11, Trami moved over Taiwan and into the Taiwan Strait, where Trami rapidly weakened and dissipated. No other storm weakened into a tropical depression over Taiwan until Typhoon Krathon did so on October 4, 2024.2024-10-04 Storm dissipates after making landfall: CWA https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202410040006 2024-10-04 Focus Taiwan en-US Trami mostly affected Taiwan with just rainfall. However, Kaohsiung and Pingtung counties experienced the heaviest rainfall in 40 years. In 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. Tropical Depression 08W WPac 8-W 2001 track.png 08W 2001-07-10 2245Z.jpg July 10 July 11 25 1002 The JTWC began tracking Tropical Depression 08W about 972 km mi on southwest of Midway Atoll on July 10. 08W was known as a "hybrid system", where it developed in an area of strong wind shear and the system was already becoming extratropical. The JTWC issued its second and final warning early the next day. The storm's remnants moved outside the basin early on July 12. Typhoon Kong-rey WPac Kong-rey 2001-07-26 0120Z.jpg Kong-Rey 2001 track.png July 21 July 28 70 85 955 Tropical Depression 09W developed from an area of convection about 1,000 km mi on to the east of Iwo Jima on July 21. Continued consolidation of its convection prompted both the JTWC to classify it as a tropical storm on 18:00 UTC. The JMA followed suit six hours later and named it Kong-rey. By July 23, the JTWC upgraded Kong-rey to a typhoon while the JMA upgraded it to a severe tropical storm. A mid-latitude ridge to the east of Japan strengthened, causing Kong-rey to curve and move in a northeastward direction. Kong-rey reached its peak intensity on July 25, then slightly weakened afterwards. At the same time, the JMA had finally upgraded Kong-rey to a typhoon. On July 26, a redevelopment of a small eye caused Kong-rey to reach its second peak intensity for a short period of time. Its peak strength only maxed out to 10-minute sustained winds of 130 km/h mph on. Increasing wind shear caused the typhoon to weaken the next day. Kong-rey was downgraded to a tropical storm on 00:00 UTC of July 28. Both agencies issued their final warning later that day when it had become extratropical. Its remnants was still tracked until it reached the southwestern Aleutian Islands on August 3. Severe Tropical Storm Yutu (Huaning) WPac Yutu 24 july 2001 0310Z.jpg Yutu 2001 track.png July 22 July 26 55 85 975 A tropical depression had developed to the east of the northern tip of Cagayan, Philippines on July 22. On the next day, the PAGASA began initiating advisories on the system also, and had named it Huaning. The system strengthened into a tropical storm in the same day and was named Yutu by the JMA. Yutu moved in a general westward direction and passed the extreme northern Philippine islands. Satellite imagery depicted that a tightly wrapped convective banding was circulating around a developing eye, signalling that Yutu was undergoing a phase of rapid deepening. Thus, the JTWC quickly upgraded Yutu to a 70-knot typhoon. The JMA, however, only classified it as a severe tropical storm. On 12:00 UTC of July 25, Yutu reached its peak intensity as a Category 2-equivalent typhoon. The system slowly weakened afterwards, and seven hours later, Yutu made landfall over the Dianbai District. Yutu significantly weakened and fully dissipated on July 26. Upon its landfall, Yutu brought gusty winds and rainfall throughout the Guandong province and nearby areas. Xuwen County recorded 260 mm in on of rainfall for a 24-hour period from July 25–26. The city of Cheung Chau had experienced wind gusts of up to 63 kn km/h mph. About 4,650 houses were destroyed in the province. Estimated damages were up to ¥700 million (US$109 million). No fatalities were reported, however ten people were injured by Yutu in Hong Kong. Typhoon Toraji (Isang) WPac Toraji Jul 28 2001 0245Z.jpg Toraji 2001 track.png July 25 August 1 75 100 960Typhoon Toraji (2001) A persistent but isolated deep convection near a broad LLCC was embedded to the monsoon trough approximately 356 mi km on 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. 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. Toraji moved north-northwesterly due to forming in a weakness in the subtropical ridge. Typhoon Toraji reached its peak strength on July 28, with 10-minute winds of 140 km/h mph on 5 and 1-minute winds of 185 km/h mph on 5, with the barometric pressure of 960 hPa inHg on, after making landfall in eastern Taiwan. 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. 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.

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 °F on from infrared satellite imagery.Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary August 2001 http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2002/summ0108.htm Summaries and Track Data Australiansevereweather.com Padgett, Gary August 2001 12W further strengthened to a tropical storm by August 2, with the JMA receiving the name Man-yi. The system gradually intensified as it moved northwest, with the JTWC considering Man-yi a minimal typhoon on the next day. The JMA, however, followed suit on August 4. At this time, deep convection was found to be developing near its eyewall and its cyclonic structure was becoming much more symmetrical. The JTWC quickly upgraded Man-yi to a high-end Category 3 typhoon. By 12:00 UTC, Man-yi reached its first initial peak strength as a Category 4-equivalent typhoon. Throughout the next day, Man-yi began to move in a northeastward direction as it dropped in intensity due to a phase of an eyewall replacement cycle. By August 6, Man-yi restrengthened and reached its second peak intensity. Thereafter, Man-yi began to weaken as its eye began to expand — and had an annular structure. On August 8, cold dry air began to wrap into the storm as it was undergoing 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. Tropical Storm Usagi WPac Usagi 2001-08-09 0310Z.jpg Usagi 2001 track.png August 8 August 11 35 40 992Tropical Storm Usagi (2001) A weak tropical depression had persisted in the South China Sea, just west off Luzon on August 8. On the next day, operationally, the JTWC began on issuing advisories on the system as Tropical Depression 13W. 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. Usagi reached its maximum intensity only with 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 65 km/h mph on. 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. The storm brought heavy rainfall and flash flooding mostly in Vietnam and Thailand. Usagi had worsened flooding in Vietnam in the month of August, with some provinces such as An Giang and Đồng Tháp being raised to flood Alarm 3 – which is emergency flood condition, due to widespread flooding that is uncontrollable.https://reliefweb.int/report/viet-nam/vietnam-floods-information-bulletin-n-1-0 Vietnam: Floods - Information Bulletin n° 1 - Viet Nam September 21, 2001 Effects from the storm were much worse in Thailand. 200,000 hectares of farmland were submerged and thousands of homes were destroyed, leaving an estimated 450,000 people homeless. Deforestation in the mountainous areas of Phetchabun province brought in massive mudslides, especially in the 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.https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2001/09/thai-s04.html Flood tragedy in Thailand linked to deforestation September 4, 2001 Carol Divjak, James Conachy World Socialist Web Site Typhoon Pabuk WPac Pabuk 2001-08-19 0210Z (cropped).jpg Pabuk 2001 track.png August 13 August 22 70 90 960Typhoon Pabuk (2001) On August 13, the JMA started to track a tropical depression that was embedded to the monsoon to the north-northwest of Saipan. Due to its rapid development, the JTWC issued a TCFA. The JTWC began issuing advisories; thereafter, giving the designation of 14W. All agencies upgraded 14W to a tropical storm the next day, after satellite imagery depicted a well-defined LLCC along with gale-force winds to the south of it. The JMA gave the storm the name Pabuk. Moving northwestward, Pabuk gradually intensified, and the JTWC upgraded the system to a typhoon on August 15; the JMA did the same 24 hours later. By August 17, Pabuk briefly reached its initial peak strength as a low-end Category 2 typhoon as it moved west-northwestPre-Landfall 1 https://alert.air-worldwide.com/tropical-cyclone/2001/tropical-storm-pabuk/pre-landfall-1/ 2023-01-21 ALERT before slowly weakening.

Six hours later, the JTWC followed suit and began issuing advisories, giving the designation of 15W. The system slowly intensified within the next day. Despite bring predicted that the system would intensify into a tropical storm, the JTWC indicated that the system was beginning to merge with a frontal boundary. 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.Digital Typhoon: List of weather charts on August 28, 2001 (Tue) http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/weather-chart/search_day.pl?lang=en&year=2001&month=8&day=28 August 28, 2001 Digital Typhoon Typhoon Wutip WPac File:Wutip 2001-08-28 0100Z.jpg Wutip 2001 track.png August 26 September 2 90 130 930 A tropical disturbance that was embedded in a broad monsoonal circulation developed in the Philippine Sea on August 25. The JMA classified the system as a tropical depression on the next day. Early on August 27, the JTWC followed suit and began initiating advisories on Tropical Depression 16W, after improved organisation and increased convection. 16W quickly strengthened into a tropical storm thereafter, with the JMA naming it Wutip. By August 28, an eye feature began to develop, forcing both agencies to quickly upgrade Wutip to a typhoon. Rapid deepening ensued for the rest of the day, and Wutip had already reached Category 4 typhoon intensity on 18:00 UTC of the same day. Wutip still strengthened until it reached super typhoon intensity on 06:00 UTC of August 29 – the first of this season – with 1-minute sustained winds of 240 km/h mph on and a minimum pressure of 930 hPa. By August 30, Wutip began to weaken after its cloud tops began to warm and a reduction of convection. Wutip rapidly weakened down to tropical storm intensity by September 1, when it was already interacting with drier air, making its LLCC become exposed. Both the JMA and the JTWC issued their final advisory on 18:00 UTC of September 2, when it had weakened into an extratropical gale. Tropical Storm Sepat WPac File:Sepat 2001-08-28 0020Z.jpg Sepat 2001 track.png August 26 August 30 45 45 990 Sepat originated from an extensive monsoon trough that spawned multiple vortices on August 19, to the south of Pohnpei. After moving east-northeastward in a few days, the JTWC issued a TCFA after its circulation improved in organisation on August 26. The JMA classified the system as a tropical depression around the same time. By August 27, the JTWC began initiating advisories, designating the system as Tropical Depression 17W. Now moving in a rather north-northwestward direction, 17W gained strength. Both the JMA and the JTWC upgraded the system to a tropical storm on 18:00 UTC. The JTWC had upped the system's intensity to 45 knots, hinting the Sepat had already reached its peak intensity. The JMA noted Sepat's peak intensity early on the next day. Overall convection around the storm's center had significantly decreased thereafter. On August 29, a satellite passing revealed that most of its convection had already scattered, prompting the JTWC to lower Sepat's intensity to minimal tropical storm strength. At this point, Sepat had moved far north over cooler waters. The JTWC issued its final advisory on 00:00 UTC of August 30 when they noted that it had become extratropical. The JMA followed suit twelve hours later. Tropical Storm Fitow WPac Fitow 2001-08-30.jpg Fitow 2001 track.png August 28 September 1 35 45 990 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 mi 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. Excessive rains fell in mainland China, with locations in Changjiang county measuring up to 831.1 mm in the 3 day period ending late on August 31. Total economic losses in Hainan were near 1.367 billion yuan (US$1367 CHN 2001 million). In all, 3680 houses were nearly destroyed, four died, and 3.5 million people were impacted by the tropical storm. Typhoon Danas WPac Danas 2001-09-08 0140Z.jpg Danas 2001 track.png September 3 September 12 85 105 945Typhoon Danas (2001) An area of convection had persisted roughly 833 km mi on to the west of Wake Island on September 2. Due to gradual development, the JTWC issued their first warning on 00:00 UTC of September 3, classifying the system as Tropical Depression 19W. Convective organisation continued to increase throughout the day, and both the JMA and JTWC upgraded the system to a tropical storm, naming it Danas. Moving westward, due to a subtropical ridge located to its north, Danas quickly intensified.Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary September 2001 http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2002/summ0109.htm Summaries and Track Data Australiansevereweather.com Padgett, Gary September 2001 The JTWC upgraded Danas to a minimal typhoon by 18:00 UTC of September 4, while the JMA did the same six hours later. 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 mph on. 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. Both the JMA and the JTWC issued its final advisory on Danas on September 12, when it transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. Its remnants reached the Aleutian Islands two days later. 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.National Institute of Informatics 2001 July 16, 2010 Tokyo District Damage Report: Tornado http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/dt/report.pl?id=2001-662-09&lang=en ja The town of Nikkō had recorded 870 mm in on of rainfall over a four-day period.

Weak currents, which were prevalent throughout its lifetime, caused it to drift to the northeast where it became a tropical storm on the 6th. Nari stalled near Okinawa, and became a typhoon on the 7th. Over the next 5 days, Nari executed a triple loop over open waters, reaching a peak of 115 mi/h km/h on winds before weakening to a tropical storm on the 14th. It restrengthened to a typhoon, and as it continued southwestward, Nari reached 100 mi/h km/h on 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. It continued westward, and finally made landfall east of Hong Kong as a 65 mi/h km/h on tropical storm on the 20th before dissipating as a tropical depression near the southern Chinese coasts.

Typhoon Vipa WPac Vipa 2001-09-21 0110Z (cropped).jpg Vipa 2001 track.png September 17 September 21 65 75 975 Vipa originated from an upper-level low developed near Wake Island. The low began to interact with the monsoonal flow to its southwest, making it form a "monsoonal gyre" type system. On September 17 at 00:00 UTC, deep convection wrapping its LLCC led to the formation of a tropical depression, with the JTWC designating it as 21W. Organization ensued until the JTWC upgraded 21W to a tropical storm eighteen hours later. However, the JMA did not upgrade it until September 18, when it classified as Vipa. Satellite imagery depicted a small, cloud-filled eye, and thus, the JTWC upgraded the system to a minimal typhoon. The JMA upgraded Vipa into a severe tropical storm at this point. Vipa began moving northeastward when the typhoon reached its peak intensity of 1-minute sustained winds of 140 km/h mph on on September 19. Vipa began to weaken as the JTWC signalized the beginning of an extratropical transition. However, its eye had enlarged, and Vipa reached its second peak intensity. The agency briefly upgraded Vipa into a typhoon, on September 20. On September 21, Vipa's eyewall began to deteriorate due to dry air. Both agencies issued their final advisory that day when Vipa had already transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. The remnants of Vipa was last noted in the Bering Sea two days later. Typhoon Francisco WPac Francisco 2001-09-23 0100z.jpg Francisco 2001 track.png September 18 September 25 85 100 945 On 00:00 UTC of September 18, the JMA began to monitor on a tropical depression that had developed about 509 km mi on south-southeast of Wake Island. The JTWC followed suit on the next day, when they began issuing advisories on Tropical Depression 22W. 22W moved in a slow westward direction, when the JTWC upgraded the system to a tropical storm. By 00:00 UTC of September 20, the JMA followed suit and named it Francisco. Throughout the day, the convection had gradually build up, prompting the JTWC to quickly upgrade the storm to a typhoon by 12:00 UTC. Continued development caused Francisco to reach Category 2 typhoon intensity, as it began moving northward. On September 23, a ragged eye developed and was becoming clearer, and thus, the JTWC to upgrade Francisco to a Category 3 typhoon, with 1-minute sustained winds of 185 km/h mph on. Francisco reached its peak intensity that day, with a minimum barometric pressure of 945 hPa. However, by September 24, Francisco's convection had weakened, signalling a phase of rapid weakening. Both agencies downgraded Francisco to a tropical storm on the next day and issued their final advisories when the storm was becoming extratropical. Francisco's extratropical remnants was last seen on September 27 when it crossed the International Dateline.

By 00:00 UTC of September 22, both the JMA and the JTWC began tracking on the system, when it developed into a tropical depression, designating it as 23W. The PAGASA followed suit and gave the local name Labuyo.PAGASA Tracker 12. Typhoon LABUYO (Lekima/23W) https://www.typhoon2000.ph/stormarchives/2001/trax/labuyo01_12tx.gif Typhoon2000 Later that day, the system quickly organised into a tropical storm while raining quasi-stationary, with the JMA naming it as Lekima. Subsequently, the storm began to move in a west-northwestward motion. With steady development, Lekima reached typhoon intensity on September 23. Satellite imagery had later depicted a small eye that was surrounded by convective bands. The JTWC upgraded Lekima to a Category 2-equivalent typhoon on September 25, and reached its peak intensity on 00:00 UTC of September 26, with 1-minute sustained winds of 175 km/h mph on. 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. On September 27, Lekima further weakened to a tropical depression as it moved further north of the island. 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. Lekima moved northward, then northeastward, before dissipating on September 30. The typhoon caused severe impacts in Taiwan as what Nari did a few weeks earlier. Torrential rainfall was experienced throughout many counties, and even some were recorded in the Fujian province. 5,600 people experienced lossage of power while 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. Typhoon Krosa WPac Krosa 2001-10-07 0032Z.jpg Krosa 2001 track.png October 3 October 9 80 105 950 A rapidly developing area of convection near Guam led to the formation of Tropical Depression 24W on October 3. Deep convection continued to form and the system strengthened into a tropical storm the next day, with the JMA naming it as Krosa.Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary October 2001 http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2002/summ0110.htm Summaries and Track Data Australiansevereweather.com Padgett, Gary October 2001 Krosa moved in a quickly paced northwestward direction and entered an area of favourable environments. Later that day, the JMA upgraded Krosa to a severe tropical storm, and quickly into typhoon on October 5. The system began to undergo a period of rapid intensification, in which Krosa reached its peak intensity as a Category 3-equivalent typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of 195 km/h mph on on 12:00 UTC. Krosa began to curve northward, then northeastward thereafter, when its convective structure had slightly weakened. At this time, the JMA considered Krosa to reach its peak intensity. Within the next two days, Krosa continued to weaken as it encountered increasing wind shear from the mid-latitude westerlies. By October 9, both the JMA and the JTWC issued their final warning on Krosa, as the storm moved into the baroclinic zone and became extratropical. Typhoon Haiyan (Maring) WPac Typhoon Haiyan 16 oct 2001 0245Z.jpg Haiyan 2001 track.png October 11 October 18 70 90 960 Tropical Depression 25W formed over the Philippine Sea on October 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. 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).February 2023 Typhoon Podul WPac File:Podul 2001-10-25 1155Z.jpg Podul 2001 track.png October 18 October 27 100 140 925 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. 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 mi on north-northwest of Pohnpei or 1296 km mi on east of Guam. The JMA however, upgraded the storm the following day to Typhoon Podul, as the storm shifted north-northeastward after making a half-counterclockwise turn. 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. Podul reached its peak intensity on the 25th, with 10-minute winds of 185 km/h mph on 5 and 1-minute winds of 260 km/h mph on 5, prompting the JTWC to classify the storm as a super typhoon. Its barometric pressure was 925 hPa inHg on by that time. Although it still had super typhoon strength, Podul showed its first signs of extratropical transition and by 18:00 UTC, was located 1296 km mi on northwest of Wake Island. Podul would retain the super typhoon strength for 72 hours, before its winds weakened to 220 km/h mph on 5. 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.

It moved westward, hitting the Philippines on the 6th. The depression strengthened over the archipelago, becoming a tropical storm on the 7th. Lingling continued to intensify, reaching a peak of 130 mi/h km/h on winds on the 10th in the South China Sea. The next day, the typhoon hit central Vietnam as a 110 mi/h km/h on typhoon, and dissipated on the 12th. Lingling, like most typhoons, brought torrential rains and flooding, resulting in 171 deaths in the Philippines (with 118 missing) and 18 deaths in Vietnam.Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary November 2001 http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2002/summ0111.htm Summaries and Track Data Australiansevereweather.com Padgett, Gary November 2001 Tropical Depression 28W (Ondoy) WPac PAGASA Ondoy 2001-11-20 0135Z.jpg Ondoy 2001 track.png November 17 November 25 30 35 996 A tropical disturbance associated with the monsoon trough began to form about 315 km mi on west-southwest of Pohnpei on November 14. Convection slowly deepened and the disturbance's structure began to consolidate. By 06:00 UTC of November 17, the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical depression. Animated satellite imagery revealed that its center became elongated with continued development of convection. This prompted the JTWC to begin issuing advisories as a tropical depression six hours later, giving the designation 28W. Maintaining its intensity, 28W tracked westward and entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility on November 20, with PAGASA to start issuing bulletins and naming it Ondoy. Later that day, the JTWC upgraded Ondoy to a tropical storm, peaking with 1-minute sustained winds of 65 km/h mph on. Shortly thereafter, Ondoy's center became partially exposed, with the JTWC downgrading the system back to a tropical depression. Within the next two days, Ondoy completed a loop to the east of 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.

By the next day, the system began to drift eastward, with satellite imagery depicting a convective banding feature with some deep convection. 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. 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. 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.

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,Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary December 2001 http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2002/summ0112.htm Summaries and Track Data Australiansevereweather.com Padgett, Gary December 2001 the JTWC followed suit and began issuing advisories on 00:00 UTC of December 5 — giving the identifier of 30W. On the same day, the system intensified into a tropical storm, with the JMA naming it as Kajiki. 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. The JMA tracked Kajiki until it neared the eastern coast of Vietnam on December 9. In the Philippines, Kajiki (Quedan) brought only light to moderate rainfall over Visayas. Only two people were dead, while a total of 6,400 people were displaced, according to Agence France-Presse. Even though Kajiki remained far away from China, heavy rainfall from the storm's outflow was seen in the Hainan and Guandong provinces. In Xuwen County, 70 mm in of rainfall was recorded in a 24-hour period from December 9 to 10. Qiongzhong County received the highest amount of precipitation, with a recorded 249 mm in. In Hainan, the heavy rainfall mostly led to agricultural losses, damaging up to ¥90.57 million (US$90.57 CHN 2001 million). Tropical Storm 31W WPac 31W 2001-12-13.jpg 31-W 2001 track.png December 10 December 13 35 997 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. By 12:00 UTC of the same day, the JTWC upgraded the system to Tropical Depression 31W. 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. 31W briefly reached tropical storm intensity by the JTWC on 18:00 UTC of the same day. The storm was still difficult to track, which made one warning relocating the storm's center near the island of Kosrae. 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. Typhoon Faxai WPac Faxai Dec 23 2001 0040Z.jpg Faxai 2001 track new colors.png December 13 December 25 105 155 915Typhoon 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. 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. 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 1204 km mi on southeast of the Mariana Islands. Faxai began to rapidly intensify, and by December 22, Faxai became the year's third super typhoon. Faxai reached its peak intensity the following day, with 10-minute sustained winds of 195 km/h mph on 5 and 1-minute sustained winds of 285 km/h mph on 5, with the minimum central pressure of 915 hPa inHg on. The eye became cloud-filled as the typhoon started to weaken. Faxai recurved over the island of Agrihan on December 24, and began to transition into an extratropical cyclone. The storm degraded as it rapidly weakened. On Christmas Day, a significant decrease of deep convective clouds and bands occurred. The JTWC issued its final bulletin as it declared that Faxai became extratropical and later dissipated. Its remnants were noted on December 26 by the JMA. 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. Faxai poured 10.74 and 24.76 in cm on of rainfall upon Kosrae. An indirect death occurred in the island and electrical power was knocked by the heavy rainfall. A 69-year-old man drowned in Gun Beach from strong currents across the shoreline on December 22.Storm Data and Unusual Weather Phenomena with Late Reports and Corrections October 2001 Weather Bureau Asheville, North Carolina 83 https://books.google.com/books?id=JrvFCQcVGb0C Tropical Storm Vamei WPac Vamei 2001-12-27 0123Z.jpg Vamei 2001 path.png December 26 December 28 (Exited basin on Dec. 29) 45 65 1006 Tropical Storm Vamei Tropical Depression 32W formed 370 km mi off east of Singapore at 1200 UTC (2000 SGT) on December 26. It is extremely unusual to see tropical development this close to the equator. The initial position of 1.4° N means this storm formed only 167 km mi north of the equator. On December 27 it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Vamei, and shortly thereafter it made landfall in Malaysia. Emerging into the Indian Ocean on December 29 as a Tropical Depression, it briefly re-strengthened before dissipating on January 1.

This tropical depression brought heavy rainfall across eastern China, with Huangpu District, Shanghai getting 289 mm in on of rainfall. Due to this, 30,000 houses were destroyed, and moreover, the system produced a tornado near the area. 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. On October 20, a tropical depression had developed a couple hundred miles east of the coast of Vietnam. The JTWC issued a TCFA when the system was embedded in a broad area of convection. However, this was cancelled the next day when the system moved over Vietnam and dissipated. The tropical depression brought torrential rains all over Vietnam, which worsened the flooding that has been existing since August. 39 people have died with the added effects from the system, and damage totals from the overall flooding had reached ₫1.5 trillion (US$66.6 million).
