Typhoon Rammasun (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Rammasun (Thai: รามสูร, pronounced [rāːm.mā.sǔːn]) has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Thailand, which means the 'god of thunder'.[citation needed]

  • Typhoon Rammasun (2002) (T0205, 09W, Florita), first of four storms which brought flooding to the Philippines
  • Typhoon Rammasun (2008) (T0802, 03W, Butchoy)
  • Typhoon Rammasun (2014) (T1409, 09W, Glenda), a Category 5 super typhoon that impacted the Philippines and China during mid-July, which warranted retirement of the name

The name Rammasun was later retired during the 2015 annual session the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. In 2016, WMO chose the name Bualoi (Thai: บัวลอย, pronounced [būa̯.lɔ̄ːj]) which is a Thai desert consisting rice flour rolled into balls, and cooked in coconut milk mixed with sugar.

  • Typhoon Bualoi (2019) (T1921, 22W), a powerful Category 5 super typhoon that stayed at sea
