Typhoon Gaemi, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Carina, is an active tropical cyclone that affected the Philippines in mid-July 2024. It was the third named storm and the second typhoon of this season. Gaemi started as a tropical disturbance near Palau on July 19. The disturbance continued to intensify further due to its favorable conditions in the Philippine Sea. PAGASA would name the depression Carina during its presence inside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR). On July 20, Carina was upgraded into a tropical storm, which attained the name Gaemi by the JMA. Moving northwestwards, Gaemi began to organize its cloud tops as it started to reach typhoon status.

Together with the southwest monsoon and Tropical Storm Prapiroon, heavy rains were reported over southern and northern Luzon, triggering flash floods in various areas of the region.[1]

On July 17, the JMA began tracking a low-pressure area east of Palau.[2] Two days later, the JTWC began tracking the system.[3] Shortly after, they issued a TCFA on the system, stating that it was in favorable conditions with low vertical wind shear.[4] Shortly after, the JMA designated it as a depression.[5] PAGASA followed suit a few hours later, recognizing the system as a tropical depression and naming it Carina.[6] Soon after, the JTWC designated the system as Tropical Depression 05W.[7] Early the next day, the tropical depression intensified into a tropical storm, and was given the name Gaemi by the JMA.[8] Intensifying due to being in a conducive environment for developing, on July 21, Gaemi became a severe tropical storm.[9] Early the next day, Gaemi intensified into a typhoon.[10]

In the Philippines, the PAGASA issued a Signal No. 1 wind warning in parts of the Babuyan Islands, Batanes, Cagayan, and Isabela. The PAGASA expected winds of up to 61 km/h (69 mph) in these provinces.[11] At their 11 am advisory in July 23, PAGASA raised to Signal No. 2 warning in Batanes as Gaemi's outer rainbands began to affect the province.[12] Classes in all levels and several local government units were suspended in some areas of Luzon including Metro Manila on July 23 due to the storm.[13][14]

Taiwan

edit

Ferry services were suspended in line with the approach of Typhoon Gaemi in Taiwan.[15]

Impact and aftermath

edit

Philippines

edit

Combined with moisture from the southwest monsoon, the influence of Gaemi produced heavy rainfall across parts of the Philippines. Heavy rainfall occurred in Albay, Aklan, Antique, Bataan, Batangas, Cavite, Capiz, Oriental Mindoro, and Zambales. Residents of Romblon received flood warnings and a yellow warning for heavy rainfall.[1] Two thoroughfares in the Zamboanga Peninsula and Cordillera Administrative Region, respectively, were blocked due to rockfalls, with access only possible to small vehicles.[16] The Angat Dam saw water level increases of up to 3.8 meters (12.4 ft) amidst rainfall from Gaemi. Severe weather conditions forced vessels to remain in ports, stranding 70 people in Southern Tagalog and Bicol, combined. An additional 48 passengers were stranded in Pasacao, Camarines Sur.[1]
