Severe Tropical Storm Jebi (pronounced [tɕe̞.bi]), known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Jolina, was a tropical cyclone that caused loss of life and moderate damage across Vietnam and South China in July 2013. At least six people were killed in Vietnam.

On July 26, a low pressure area was observed 600 km (375 mi) east of General Santos City and was embedded along the intertropical convergence zone that brought heavy rains to Mindanao.[4] During the next three days, the low pressure area crossed the Philippines and arrived on the West Philippine Sea on July 30, located west of Batangas.[5]

After favorable conditions, both PAGASA and JMA upgraded the system into a tropical depression and was named Jolina. On July 31, the JMA upgraded the system into a tropical storm and was given the international name Jebi.[6] On August 1, Jebi continued to intensify, and reached severe tropical storm on August 2.[citation needed]

On August 3, Jebi weakened into tropical storm, and the JMA and JTWC downgraded Jebi into tropical depression and made landfall over Northern Vietnam, before it dissipated later that day.[citation needed]
