Typhoon Yagi

Typhoon Yagi, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Enteng and in Vietnam as Typhoon No. 3 of 2024, was a deadly, powerful and devastating tropical cyclone which caused extensive damage in Southeast Asia and South China in early September 2024. Yagi , which refers to the constellation of Capricornus in Japanese, also meaning "three" in Austroasiatic Sora language, distantly related to Vietnamese ba ("three"), was the eleventh named storm, the first violent typhoon, and the first super typhoon of the annual typhoon season. It is the strongest typhoon in 70 years to strike Vietnam, according to the country’s government, and the strongest typhoon to strike Hainan, China during the meteorological autumn, and the strongest since Rammasun in 2014. It is one of the four Category 5 super typhoons recorded in the South China Sea, alongside Pamela in 1954, Rammasun in 2014 and Rai in 2021.
