Tropical Storm Tembin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Tembin has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western Pacific Ocean. The name, contributed by Japan, is the Japanese name for the constellation Libra.

  • Tropical Storm Tembin (2000) (T0005, 09W) – not a threat to land while tropical.
