List of storms named Haima

The name Haima (Mandarin: 海马, [xaɪ˧˩˧ mä˧˩˧]) has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by China and means seahorse in Mandarin.

  • Tropical Storm Haima (2004) (T0420, 24W, Ofel) – made landfall south of Shanghai
  • Tropical Storm Haima (2011) (T1104, 06W, Egay) – made landfall, first in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China, and later in landfall over Hanoi, Vietnam.
  • Typhoon Haima (2016) (T1622, 25W, Lawin) – powerful category 5 super typhoon that made landfall in Peñablanca, Cagayan of the Philippines and in Haifeng County, Shanwei in the Guangdong province of China.

The name Haima was retired after the 2016 Pacific typhoon season and was replaced with Mulan (Mandarin: 木兰, [mu˥˩ län˧˥]), which means magnolia in Mandarin.[1]
