[32][33] All Hong Kong tropical cyclone warning signals was cancelled at around 1300 (HKT)[32] Later that day, the HKO removed the Amber rainstorm warning at 1620 (HKT). Moving generally north-west westwards towards the Philippines, the depression gradually intensified into a tropical storm the following day, and then into became a typhoon on September 22 off the northern coast of Luzon.

[20][21] On September 21 as Hagupit moved towards the north-east PAGASA revised their warnings by lowering the signals for Samar. [45] Damages exceeded ₫1 trillion (US$72.49 million). [33], Within the Philippines, PAGASA issued no public storm warning signals, as the storm was too far away from the country to prompt the issuance of such advisories. It intensified to typhoon intensity on 20 June 2008. [43] The government said that "...there will be very heavy torrential rains, significantly raising the risk of flash floods and land slides in the nine mountainous provinces in the eye of the storm. Rapid intensification ensued as the storm tuned west and paralleled the northern coast of Luzon, and on September 22, the JTWC upgraded the storm a Category 2 typhoon. [31] Rammasun is the Thai god for thunder. After making landfall in Guangdong province in China at peak intensity on September 23, Hagupit rapidly weakened over rugged terrain and dissipated on the 25th. [10] The next day both the JMA and the JTWC reported that Rammasun had intensified into a typhoon. Typhoon Fengshen, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Frank, was the sixth named storm and the fourth typhoon recognised by the Japan Meteorological Agency. [15][16] Later that day both the JMA and the JTWC reported that the typhoon had reached its peak winds. Within Japan an estimated 10 hectares (24.7 acres) of farmland were damaged. [42][42] An estimated 10 hectares (24.7 acres) of farmland were damaged. [1] This was because the developing low level circulation center was weak. 10. The disturbance was located near to a developing low level circulation center which was weak and remained displaced from the deep convection whilst located in an area of low to moderate vertical windshear. [32] Later on 23 September 2008, as Hagupit moved closer to Southern China, the HKO announced at 1600 (HKT) that the Gale or Storm Signal 8 will be issued by 1800 (HKT).

The next day the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a tropical cyclone formation alert on the developing disturbance. 58 were injured during the storm. Sewers overflowed with seawater in various parts of the territory. [4][5] At this time the depression was located 790 km, (490 miles), to the east of Mindanao in the Philippines. During the next 24 hours the disturbance developed further with a tropical cyclone formation alert being issued the next day by the JTWC as the disturbance now h… On May 7 both the JTWC and the Japan Meteorological Agency designated the disturbance as a tropical depression, while PAGASA named the depression Butchoy.

Typhoon Hagupit, (Tagalog: [hɐˈgupit], ha-GHUU-pit) known in the Philippines as Typhoon Nina, was a powerful cyclone that caused widespread destruction along its path in September 2008. [7] Later that day both the JTWC and the JMA reported that the depression intensified into a tropical storm, with the JMA assigning the name Rammasun to the storm. [30], The name "Rammasun" was one of the 10 original names submitted by Thailand to the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee for use from January 1, 2000. A total of 128,507 people were affected across 13 provinces. [29] In Shenzhen airport, 33 domestic flights were cancelled due to the approach of Hagupit. [38] A strong extratropical storm from the "tail" of the former typhoon struck the Philippines after Rammasun had become extratropical. [3] Schools and courts in the territory were also closed. Typhoon Rammasun, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Butchoy, was recognized as the second typhoon of the 2008 Pacific typhoon season by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). On May 4, 2008, an area of low pressure formed in the Pacific Ocean to the southeast of Yap. At least 18,500 houses were destroyed and total economic losses reached ¥6.3 billion (US$923.7 million). The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) also assigned the local name of "Butchoy" to Rammasun;[5] the name "Butchoy" was last used by PAGASA to name a tropical depression in the Philippines in 2004 to name Tropical Storm 02W. The next day the JMA and the JTWC reported that Rammasun had reached its peak winds of 195 km/h (120 mph) and 250 km/h (155 mph) respectively, which made Rammasun a Category 4 super typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. [10][11] On the next day the JTWC designated the system as Tropical Depression 18W. [13] At the same time the JMA were reporting that Rammasun had winds of 150 km/h (90 mph). 9.

[28], On September 22, Chinese officials in Fujian Province requested the return of all fishing vessels in the Taiwan Strait. [17][18] Typhoon Rammasun's minimum pressure was officially estimated at 915 hPa which tied with Intense Tropical Cyclone Hondo as second strongest storm of 2008. Continuing to intensify while moving through the Luzon Strait, Hagupit was upgraded later that day by the JTWC to Category 3-equivalent strength. Shortly after Hagupit's landfall, the JTWC issued its final warning on the typhoon. [4] In Guangdong province, 10 were killed,[5] and 2 remain missing after the storm,[5] mostly in Guangdong province. [32] The HKO then issued the Gale or Storm Signal 8 Northeast at 1800 (HKT). Typhoon Fengshen, known as Frank in the Philippines, formed in the Pacific Ocean East of the Philippine Islands on 19 June. [42], Vietnam began stockpiling food and medicine in preparation for the typhoon. Typhoon Fengshen directly struck Philippines and China on June 21, 2008 that lost over 1,371 lives and left 87 people missing.

[26][27] Later that day the JMA downgraded Rammasun to a Severe Tropical Storm whilst the JTWC downgraded it to an extratropical cyclone and released their final advisory on the system. Continuing to move inland, Hagupit rapidly weakened, dropping below typhoon strength within 12 hours of landfall. Simultaneously, the PAGASA reported that Hagupit had intensified into a typhoon; however, both the JMA and the JTWC did not upgrade Hagupit to a typhoon until early the next afternoon. Rammasun formed on May 5 as a tropical disturbance. [33], Typhoon Hagupit was responsible for 16 deaths, with 7 others missing, and 352.5 million pesos (US$7.49 million) in damage.

[23] Late the next day the Signal No. [22][23] The JTWC then reported within their next advisory that Rammasun had weakened into a Category 2 typhoon whilst the JMA reported that the typhoon had winds of 140 km/h (90 mph). Early on September 19, the JMA began to issue full advisories on the depression; that same day, the depression moved into PAGASA's area of responsibility and was assigned the local name Nina. The Philippines is bracing for impact from a massive typhoon that could be packing winds of 105 miles per hour by Sunday, when it's expected to make landfall. In all, the typhoon killed four people, injured 40 others and caused $9.6 million (2008 USD) worth of damage in both the Philippines and Japan. [32] It was replaced by the Gale or Storm Signal 8 Southeast soon after midnight that evening due to change in wind direction.
