Origin of naming:

In order to avoid confusion in typhoon names, from November 25 to December 1, 1997, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO for short) held in Hong Kong by relevant countries and regions ) The Typhoon Committee decided at its 30th meeting to standardize the naming of typhoons. Among them, tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea will be named with Asian-style names.

The naming method is: develop a naming list in advance, and then reuse it year after year in order. The naming list contains 140 names, provided by 14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region to which WMO belongs.

The name of the typhoon "Nabi" provided by South Korea was withdrawn because its pronunciation was similar to the Arabic prophet, so it was replaced by "Dusuri", which means a bird of prey.
