Typhoon Yinxing

Additionally, it was also part of the four tropical cyclones to simultaneously exist in the Western Pacific during the month of November, the first occurrence since records began in 1951; the other three were Toraji, Usagi and Man-yi.

On November 3, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the system to a tropical storm named Yinxing, as it exhibited improved convective banding tightly wrapping around the obscured low-level circulation center.

As the system moved southwestward between two mid-level subtropical high, vertical wind shear quickly disrupted its cold central cloud cover, partially exposing the low-level circulation.

The storm had a compact circulation center just offshore of the southern coast of Vietnam, with an eye-like feature surrounded by weak to moderate convective activity.

A red alert warning has been issued for Cagayan and Batanes as PAGASA cautioned of heavy rains, strong winds, and storm surges impacting northern Luzon.

The Department of National Defense has directed local authorities to forcibly evacuate residents from isolated areas, while classes have been canceled in various regions of Luzon due to Yinxing.

[1] At 00:00 UTC the following day, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified the system as a tropical depression,[2] and by 03:00 UTC, the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a tropical cyclone formation alert for the disturbance, citing a favorable environment for development characterized by low to moderate vertical wind shear, good divergence aloft, and warm sea surface temperatures of 29–30 °C (84–86 °F).

[5] At 18:00 UTC that same day, the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm named Yinxing,[6] as it exhibited improved convective banding tightly wrapping around the obscured low-level circulation center.

[13] Yinxing continued to slowly intensify in the Philippine Sea, with feeder bands wrapping more tightly into a symmetrical CDO and producing overshooting cloud tops.

[15] The typhoon was slowly consolidating, featuring a 115 miles (185 km) diameter CDO and a developing, ragged eye,[16] while microwave imagery revealed a strong northeasterly surge through the Luzon and Taiwan Straits,[17] with deep convection continuing to prevail despite the moderate southwesterly vertical wind shear.

[28] It later developed into a more compact cold central cover with deepening overshooting cloud tops and a 22 miles (35 km) diameter eye that became increasingly symmetrical and sharply defined.

[34] The system had a compact circulation center just offshore of the southern coast of Vietnam, with an eye-like feature surrounded by weak to moderate convective activity.

[35] At 07:00 UTC on November 12, the storm made landfall just north of Quy Nhon, Vietnam, and quickly moved inland, prompting the JTWC to issue its final warning.

[46] President Bongbong Marcos ordered all government agencies to be on high alert[47] and cancelled his attendance at the APEC Peru 2024 summit scheduled on November 10 to 16 to focus on disaster response.

[55] In Taiwan, the Central Weather Administration warned that Yinxing could bring heavy rains in the east of the island, as well as in Keelung and Yilan County from November 7 to 9.

[61] It also generated strong winds and flooding in Cagayan that damaged the market of Santa Ana,[62] as well as houses, fishponds and schools in Buguey and closed bridges in Baggao and Peñablanca.

[70] According to the Philippine Ports Authority, the MV Aries and Panphil 8 ran aground on the shores of Currimao, Ilocos Norte, due to the typhoon.

[77] The fatality was found inside a damaged house in Claveria, Cagayan, while the missing and injured were on board a raft that capsized in Bantay, Ilocos Sur.

According to the NDRRMC, a state of calamity has been declared in the municipalities of Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte and Buguey in Cagayan due to the severe impact of the storm.
