An area of disturbed weather developed east of the Philippines on November 2. it was designated as Tropical Depression 21W & Tropical Depression Kabayan by PAGASA on November 3.[1][2] It then went on to rapidly develop later that day and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Peipah by the JMA on November 3.[3] Pepiah is a popular pet fish in Macau.[4] Early on November 4 it was upgraded to a severe tropical storm.[3] Later that day, just before landfall in the northern Philippines, the JTWC upgraded it to a typhoon.[5] Upon landfall in Palanan, Isabela Province, it pounded strong winds over Northern Luzon, thus unroofing houses, downing power lines and blocking many roads.[6] Once it emerged in the Philippine Sea, the JMA also upgraded it to a typhoon.[3] The strengthening trend was short-lived, though, as hindered outflow weakened the system on November 7.[7] It dissipated on November 9 before reaching Vietnam.

Preparations and impacts[edit]

When Peipah impacted the Philippines, it would cause widespread flooding throughout the nation, killing six people.[8]
