April – June

[edit]

On April 18, a typhoon was first identified 60–70 mi (97–113 km) northeast of Surigao.[1] Passing south of Guiuan and north of Ormoc later that day,[1] the typhoon made two landfalls, passing through Panay on 15:00 UTC the next day.[2][2][1] From Panay, the typhoon tracked northwest, filling up over the South China Sea.[2][1] However, at 18:00 UTC on April 22, the typhoon made landfall in Vietnam, dissipating just a few hours later.[2] As the typhoon passed through Leyte, fourteen towns were damaged, with the communities of Tolosa and Dulag being destroyed.[3] Around 90% of Leyte's population were made homeless, with the typhoon's gales killing at least two.[4]

On May 17, a tropical depression formed east of the Paracel Islands. Not intensifying further, the depression made landfall in Hainan two days later, dissipating soon after.[5][6]
