Typhoon Bebinca

Inland, Bebinca quickly weakened to a severe tropical storm due to land interaction as it moved west-northwest under the steering influence of the subtropical high.

Although Typhoon Bebinca did not make landfall in the Philippines, its associated trough and the southwest monsoon brought heavy rains to many regions, damaging or destroying nearly 97 homes and displacing over 36,626 people.

[1] The system, characterized by a disorganized wave in the easterlies, featured intense deep convection over a large area, supported by favorable conditions for tropical cyclogenesis,[2] such as warm sea surface temperatures of 28–29 °C (82–84 °F), moderate vertical wind shear and good poleward outflow.

[5][6] On September 10, the depression intensified into a tropical storm and was named Bebinca by the JMA,[7] as it consolidated with a central dense overcast (CDO) feature obscuring its circulation center while tracking near Guam,[7] and subsequently turned west-northwestward due to interaction with an upper vortex.

[16] Satellite imagery revealed a compact, circular system with enhanced radial outflow and flaring convection in the northwest quadrant,[17] leading both the JMA and JTWC to upgrade it to a minimal typhoon the next day as it moved across the Ryukyu Islands;[18][19] meanwhile, Bebinca developed a ragged eye feature and maintained a symmetrical and impressive CDO over the past six hours.

[27] Inland, Bebinca quickly diminished to a severe tropical storm due to land interaction,[28] with the JMA tracking the system until it was last noted on September 18.

[34] All fatalities were caused by falling trees, including four children aboard a tricycle in Malabang, Lanao del Sur and two in the Zamboanga Peninsula.

[35] According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, 1,381 individuals were preemptively evacuated, while classes were suspended in 244 areas, including nine municipalities that also ceased work operations.

[37] By September 14, the Zhejiang provincial government declared increased alertness, dispatched humanitarian employees,[38] and ordered the relocation of anchored boats, construction netting and tourists.

[52] On September 17, Shandong Provincial Department of Water Resources arranged and deployed preventive and response measures as the typhoon was forecasted to bring significant rainfall to southwester part of the province.

[53] In Henan Province, Both Xinxiang and Kaifeng decided to suspend classes of middle and primary schools for one day and Zhengzhou launched IV emergency response against flood.

[54] Bebinca became the second storm to hit China within a few weeks, following Typhoon Yagi's landfall on Hainan Island in the southern part of the country.

[56] Two people were killed after they were electrocuted by a fallen power line in Kunshan, while a falling tree injured one person in Chongming Island.

[60] Local government have been working day and night to rescue the trapped and drain the floodwater,[61] and farmers are attempting to harvest crops to recover losses.
