List of storms named Ditang
(Redirected from Typhoon Ditang)
The name Ditang has been used for six tropical cyclones in the Philippines by PAGASA in the Western Pacific Ocean. It replaced Didang, which was retired after a destructive typhoon in 1976.
- Typhoon Dom (1980) (T8002, 03W, Ditang) – a strong and long-lived early-season typhoon which affected the Philippines.
- Severe Tropical Storm Freda (1984) (T8408, 08W, Ditang) – a relatively strong tropical system which crossed Taiwan and Mainland China.
- Typhoon Thad (1988) (T8804, 04W, Ditang) – a minimal typhoon that paralleled the Philippine seaboard.
- Severe Tropical Storm Gary (1992) (T9207, 07W, Ditang) – a strong tropical storm which brought destructive impacts to the Philippines and China, claiming 48 lives.
- Tropical Storm Cam (1996) (T9604, 05W, Ditang) – an early-season tropical storm that only caused minimal damages after brushing Taiwan, northern Philippines and the Ryukyu Islands.
- Typhoon Kirogi (2000) (T0003, 05W, Ditang) – a powerful typhoon which brushed eastern Japan as a weaker system.
The name was not retired; however, Ditang was excluded when PAGASA released a new and updated version of the rotating four-year name lists in 2001.
