'''Typhoon Hagupit''' (international designation: '''0814''', JTWC Designation: '''18W''', PAGASA name: '''Nina''') is recognised as the 14th Tropical Storm, the 12th Severe Tropical Storm and the 10th Typhoon of the [[2008 Pacific typhoon season]] by the [[Japan Meteorological Agency]] who are the [[Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre]] for the North Western Pacific. The [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] have also recognised Hagupit as the 11th typhoon, 16th tropical storm, and the 18th tropical depression of the [[2008 Pacific typhoon season]].

The name Hagupit was one of the ten original names submitted to the WMOs Typhoon Committee for use from January 1, 2000 by the [[Philippines]]. It was last used in the [[2002 Pacific typhoon season]] to name a tropical storm and is Filipino for a [[whip|lash]]. <ref name="HKO Names">{{cite web|url=http://www.hko.gov.hk/informtc/sound/tc_pronunciatione.htm|publisher=HKO|title=The meaning of new tropical cyclone names in 2004|accessdate=2008-09-10}}</ref>

On September 20 the JMA reported that Hagupit had intensified into a severe tropical storm while PAGASA reported that Hagupit had intensified into a typhoon. However both the JMA and the JTWC did not upgrade Hagupit to a Typhoon until early the next afternoon. On September 22 the JTWC reported that Hagupit had intensified into a Category 2 typhoon, with wind speeds of 85&nbsp;knots. Hagupit then continued to intensify, with the JTWC upgrading Hagupit, into a Category 3 typhoon with winds of 105&nbsp;knots. Early the next day PAGASA issued its final advisory on Typhoon Nina (Hagupit) as it was moving out of PAGASA's area of responsibility. Later that day the JTWC upgraded Hagupit to a Category 4 typhoon as Hagupit was approaching southern [[China]].
