List of storms named Rammasun

The name Rammasun (Thai: รามสูร, [raːm˧ ma˦˥ suːn˩˩˦]) has been used for three tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean. This name was originally spelled Ramasoon by the WMO before an orthographic update in 2002. The name was contributed by Thailand and refers to Ramasura, god of thunder in Thai epics, in Thai.[1]
