Typhoon Dolphin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Dolphin has been used for three tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Hong Kong, and refers to the Chinese white dolphin, a mascot in Hong Kong.[1] It replaces the name Yanyan, which was retired after the 2003 typhoon season.
