Tropical Storm Mangkhut

Typhoon Mangkhut has been used to name two tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was submitted by Thailand, and refers to a mangosteen. This was also the name that replaced Durian after this storm.

Tropical Storm Mangkhut (2013) (T1310, 10W, Kiko)- A weak tropical storm that affected Vietnam in 2013.
Typhoon Mangkhut (2018) (T1822, 26W, Ompong)- A storm which made direct Category 5 landfall in the Philippines, and later affected Hong Kong.

Due to the damage caused by Ompong (Mangkhut) of 2018, it was scheduled to be retired and to be given a replacement name by 2020, along with Rumbia.
