Tropical Storm Hagibis (international designation: 1407, JTWC designation: 07W) was a tropical storm that made landfall over Guandong on June 15. It formed on June 13, 2014, and dissipated on June 18. Hagibis made landfall with damage estimated to be CNY 816 million ($131 million USD). Hagibis is a filipino word, meaning fast or swiftness.
Meteorological history
Similar to the formation of Mitag, a small circulation started to develop in the South China Sea, late on June 8. Early on June 11, the system was upgraded to a tropical disturbance by the JTWC. Due to weak vertical wind shear and convection from the enhanced southwest monsoon, the disturbance further developed and on June 13, the JMA classified the storm as a tropical depression, as it started to move slowly towards the northeast. But due to an intensifying ridge of high-pressure occurring northeast of Japan, the disturbance moved northwards towards warm waters. Early on June 14, the JTWC issued a TCFA alert on the tropical depression.
In the night of the same day, the JTWC upgraded the storm to Tropical Depression 07W. The JMA upgraded it to a tropical storm, naming it Hagibis at the same time. Early on June 15, Hagibis made landfall over southern China as it further weakened to a tropical depression.[1] On the morning of June 16, both agencies made their final warnings on Hagibis, as it weakened further to a land depression.
Its remnants still continued to move northward, but by June 17, the remnants of Hagibis curved eastwards due to the jet stream. Later that day, it entered warm waters again and an area of low vertical wind shear, resulting in the storm re-intensifying to a tropical storm and both agencies upgrading Hagibis back into a tropical storm. The JMA re-initiated advisories on Hagibis after the storm re-intensified. Early on June 18, Hagibis transitioned into an extratropical cyclone, as its circulation was absorbed by a developing extratropical storm north of it on June 21.
Impact
Philippines
Tropical Storm Hagibis also threatened the Philippines, by enhancing the southwest monsoon, bringing extreme rainfall to the country. Due to extreme rainfall since Tropical Storm Mitag on June 10, PAGASA declared the official start of rainy season.[2][3]
China
Hagibis made landfall over southern China on 04:50 (UTC), June 15. About 13,000 people were affected by the storm.[4][5] Economic losses from Hagibis reached a total of 577 million yuan ($93 million USD),[6] but a total of 816 million yuan ($131 million USD) has been reported as of June 20.[7] No casualties have been reported during the first week, but as of June 19, the Chinese Government had reported that 11 were dead in the affected regions from Hagibis.[8]
Torrential rain continued to bring flooding until June 22, as the southwest monsoon weakened.
