List of storms named Wipha

The name Wipha (Thai: วิภา, [wi(ʔ)˦˥.pʰaː˧]) has been used for five tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean. This name was originally spelled Vipa by the WMO before an orthographic update in 2002. The name was contributed by Thailand and is a feminine given name meaning "luster" or "brilliance" in Thai.^[1]
