List of storms named Kai-tak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Typhoon Kai-tak)

The name Kai-tak (Cantonese: 啟德, [kʰɐi˧˥ tak˧]) has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Hong Kong, and refers to that city's former airport Kai Tak Airport. Names in parentheses were given by PAGASA in the Philippines.

The name Kai-tak was retired by the WMO in 2018, and is replaced with Yun-yeung to be used for future seasons. The name Yun-yeung refers to the mandarin duck, a species of duck native to East Asia; the name also refers to a popular drink in Hong Kong.
