2018 Pacific typhoon season (Chap)

Tropical Storm Jelawat
Tropical Storm Jelawat was a fairly weak tropical storm forming on March 28 and dissipating on April 3. A disturbance originating from the main West Pacific area entered the South China Sea early on April 27. The disturbance rapidly organized despite unfavorable conditions, being declared a tropical depression on March 28. Jelawat slowly strengthened and achieved tropical storm status on March 29 while moving in an unusually northern-oriented path across the sea before making landfall near Guangdong, China on April 1. Jelawat quickly re-entered water and achieved a peak intensity of 40 kt (45 mph) the same day. The storm began to speed up across the northern part of the sea before making landfall in Hainan, China as it started to weaken. Jelawat was declared a tropical depression at 12:00 UTC, April 2 and reentered water once again six hours after. Jelawat re-achieved 35 kt winds before quickly losing them and making landfall near Hanoi, Vietnam and was called a remnant low on 18:00 UTC, April 3 and dissipated half a day afterwards.

PAGASA
During the season PAGASA used its own naming scheme for the 16 tropical cyclones, that either developed within or moved into their self-defined area of responsibility. The names were taken from a list of names, that had been last used during 2014 and are scheduled to be used again during 2022. {| class="article-table"
