List of storms named Cempaka

The name Cempaka (Malay: cempaka, [t͡ʃəmpakə]) has been used for two tropical cyclones worldwide: one in the Australian region and one in the western North Pacific Ocean. In the Western Pacific, where it replaced Melor after 2015, the name was contributed by Malaysia and means champak (Magnolia champaca) in Malay.[1]

In the Western Pacific:

  • Typhoon Cempaka (2021) (T2107, 10W) – a fairly long-lived cyclone that caused substantial damage in China and Vietnam.

In the Australian region:

  • Cyclone Cempaka (2017) – a weak system that caused flooding and landslides in Indonesia.
