From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Jebi (Korean: 제비, [ˈt͡ɕe̞(ː)bi]) has been used for five tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean. The variant Chebi was used in 2001 and 2006 before the spelling was corrected by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. The name was contributed by South Korea and means barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) in Korean.[1]
- Typhoon Chebi (2001) (T0102, 04W, Emong) – peaked near Southwest of Taiwan and eventually made landfall in China
- Typhoon Chebi (2006) (T0620, 23W, Queenie) – a rapidly intensified typhoon which traversed the northern Philippines
- Severe Tropical Storm Jebi (2013) (T1309, 09W, Jolina) – struck the Philippines, mainland China and Vietnam
- Typhoon Jebi (2018) (T1821, 25W, Maymay) – a strong Category 5 typhoon that made landfall in west Japan.
- Typhoon Jebi (2024) (T2417, 19W) – a minimal typhoon that passed off the coast of Japan
The name Jebi was requested by the UK Met Office to be retired following the 2024 Pacific typhoon season due to its similar spelling with a derogatory word in Croatian, where "jebi" means "The F word ". It was replaced with Narae (Korean: 나래, [ˈna̠(ː)ɾɛ]), which means wing in Korean.[2]
