Typhoon Fitow (disambiguation)

The name Fitow has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by the Federated States of Micronesia and is the name of a flower in the Yapese language.

  • Tropical Storm Fitow (2001) (T0114, 18W) – struck Hainan island and mainland China, killing 4.
  • Typhoon Fitow (2007) (T0709, 10W) – struck Japan, killing at least 2.

The name Fitow was retired after the 2013 season, due to extreme damages over China. The name to replace Fitow is Mun (Yapese for June) for future seasons.
