List of storms named Tisoy
Appearance
The name Tisoy has been used for two tropical cyclones in the Philippines by PAGASA in the Western Pacific Ocean. Tisoy is a Filipino colloquialism for "Filipino Mestizos".
- Typhoon Ketsana (2003) (T0317, 20W, Tisoy) – Category 4 storm that never affected land.
- Typhoon Kammuri (2019) (T1928, 29W, Tisoy) – made landfall in the Bicol Region of the Philippines at peak intensity as a category 4-equivalent typhoon.
