[4] That day, the JMA upgraded the depression into a tropical storm, though the JTWC did not do the same until 24 hours later. Overall, damage was estimated at US$16 million. Typhoon Nina. [3], Although the typhoon passed close to Wake Island near peak intensity, wind gusts only reached 45 mph (70 km/h) and according to the JTWC, damage was insignificant. The agency stopped following the extratropical remnants the next day. When: October 8, 1881. [4], The second tropical cyclone of 1988 to develop in the South China Sea, Tropical Storm Mamie formed from the same extension of the monsoon trough that spawned Tropical Storm Kit. [10] The JTWC estimated that Pat weakened into a tropical storm over the Gulf of Tonkin, and later that day, dissipated slightly onshore Vietnam. Tropical Storm Val was first spawned by an outbreak of Arctic air pushed southeastward across Asia on December 18. Just 2 weeks after Ruby hit Luzon, Skip, which formed on November 3, hit the central Philippines as a 145 mph typhoon. [3] At this time, the system became devoid of deep convection prompted the JTWC to issue its final warning. [4] Eighteen hours later, the JMA did the same, making Kit the sixth out of eight tropical storm that month. A trough approaching from the west was forecast to prompt Uleki to turn east; however, the typhoon maintained a general northwest motion in a stair-stepped fashion. The cold air quickly diminished, which spawned convection and multiple surface circulations across the monsoon trough. Although the JTWC issued its final advisory at 00:00 UTC on August 8,[4] with the JMA doing the same 36 hours later, its remains could still be identified through August 10. [1] During the afternoon of October 22, the JMA upgraded Ruby into a severe tropical storm. On Luzon, the storm's 140 mph (220 km/h) winds caused tremendous damage to the town of Siniloan. [24] A Philippine navy landing ship and a hospital vessel both capsized in heavy waves offshore Zamboanga City, but no casualties were reported. Improved organization prompted the JTWC to issue a TCFA on September 20,[4] and satellite intensity estimated led to the JTWC and JMA classifying the system as Tropical Storm Lee. [25] According to reports obtained from the Philippine Coast Guard, there were 243 confirmed survivors,[33] although reports from the Associated Press suggested that as few as 193 people survived. Torrential rains and heavy flooding resulted in 110 casualties and widespread damage to roads and dams. On that day, the typhoon again entered a region of weak steering currents between two anticyclones within the subtropical ridge. [4][3] The newly named storm tracked westward towards the Philippine Islands, and then west-northwestward as it tracked along the periphery of the subtropical ridge. The storm caused the ferry to list to the starboard until one of the decks was below the water, causing the ship to fill up rapidly. [3] The remnants of the storm later dissipated near Hong Kong. As of November 16, at least 67 people had been… Ruby reached the South China Sea on the 7th, and steadily weakened until dissipation on the 12th.

[4] Late on September 21, the JMA upgraded the depression into a tropical storm, with the JMA also estimated that Kit attained its peak intensity of 80 km/h (50 mph) at the same time. Key points: However, further organization was slow to occur due to strong wind shear caused by Jeff's proximity to Typhoon Hal; all deep convection was restricted to the southern semicircle. Nine tropical cyclones moved through the Philippines this season, making this season the most active for the archipelago so far this decade. [4] On the same day, the system was upgraded into a tropical depression by the JMA[3] and due to a binary interaction with Kit, tracked southwestward. The storm steadily intensified as it moved west, and then west-northwest. Of the 26, 10 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 1 reached supertyphoon strength. At least 77 of the 511 people on board died, though there were initial reports of 261 missing. Typhoon Haiphong. Interaction from newly formed Tropical Storm Fabian initially halted further intensification and the JTWC estimated that the storm was briefly no longer a classifiable tropical cyclone on August 30.

[4][3] Twelve hours later, the system lost all its deep convection, and the JTWC issued its last warning on it at 18:00 UTC. The 1988 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1988, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. [4] However, the JMA continued to track it until noon that day. Forty boats, one bridge, and several river embankments were also damaged.
