Tropical Storm Nalgae
Pacific severe tropical storm in 2022
Severe Tropical Storm Nalgae, known as Typhoon Paeng by PAGASA, was a very large and deadly tropical cyclone that wreaked havoc across the Philippines and later impacted South China in late October 2022. Nalgae, meaning wing in Korean, the twenty-second named storm of the 2022 Pacific typhoon season, Nalgae originated from an invest located east of the Philippines on October 26. The disturbance, initially designated as 93W, was eventually upgraded the following day to a tropical depression by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and re-designated as 26W. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) however, had already considered the disturbance as a tropical depression a day prior to JTWC's; PAGASA also followed the JMA's lead and gave it the name Paeng. That same day, it was upgraded again by the JMA to tropical storm status, thus gaining the name Nalgae.
