Tropical Storm Kirogi (2017)

After being given the local name Tino by the PAGASA, it entered the South China Sea, intensifying into a tropical storm and receiving the name Kirogi from the Japan Meteorological Agency on November 18.

Continuing westwards, it weakened into a tropical depression before making landfall near Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam on the next day, dissipating shortly afterwards.

Kirogi caused flooding in the Philippines and Vietnam, with trees and power poles toppling in Ho Chi Minh City.

On November 15 at 15:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began monitoring an area of convection approximately 355 nautical miles (655 km; 410 mi) east-southeast of Mindanao for potential development, estimating its development chances within the next day as low.

[5] On November 17 at 02:00 UTC, the PAGASA assessed that the system developed into a tropical depression, assigning it the local name Tino.

Tino entered the South China Sea as a disorganized system, with a weak low-level circulation and shallow convective bands.

The JMA estimated that Kirogi peaked in intensity at the same time, with maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h (40 mph) and a minimum central pressure of 1000 hPa (mbar; 29.53 inHg).

Five households in Thuận Bắc District were evacuated; residents and tourists were advised and warned to move away from areas close to the shore.

[23] Trees in Ho Chi Minh City were uprooted due to strong winds, with several streets experiencing 300 millimetres (12 in) of flooding.

[29] The Thai Meteorological Department advised residents of the possibility of flash floods, strong winds, and storm surge, also cautioning ships of waves forecasted to reach 2 meters (6.6 ft).
