Tropical Storm Tembin
The name Tembin has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western Pacific Ocean. The name, contributed by Japan, is the Japanese name for the constellation Libra (constellation), Libra. * Tropical Storm Tembin (2000) (T0005, 09W) – not a threat to land while tropical. * Tropical Storm Tembin (2005) (T0522, 23W, Ondoy) – crossed the Philippines. * Typhoon Tembin (2012) (T1214, 15W, Igme) - made landfall in Taiwan twice. * Typhoon Tembin (2017) (T1727, 33W, Vinta) – devastated southern Philippines killing over 266 people. The name ''Tembin'' was retired by the WMO in 2018, and replaced with ''Koinu'' in 2019, which means puppy or the constellation Canis Minor in Japanese. * 2023 Pacific typhoon season#Typhoon Koinu (Jenny) , Typhoon Koinu (2023) (T2314, 14W, Jenny) - a very powerful Category 4 typhoon that lashed Taiwan, Southern Taiwan and Batanes in early October 2023. {{DEFAULTSORT:Tembin Pacific typhoon set index articles ...

Tropical Cyclones
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain and squalls. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by different names, including hurricane (), typhoon (), tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, or simply cyclone. A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or northeastern Pacific Ocean, and a typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. In the Indian Ocean, South Pacific, or (rarely) South Atlantic, comparable storms are referred to simply as "tropical cyclones", and such storms in the Indian Ocean can also be called "severe cyclonic storms". "Tropical" refers to the geographical origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively over tropical seas. "Cyclone" refers to their winds moving in a circle, whirling round ...

Libra (constellation)
Libra is a constellation of the zodiac and is located in the Southern celestial hemisphere. Its name is Latin for weighing scales. Its old astronomical symbol is (♎︎). It is fairly faint, with no first magnitude stars, and lies between Virgo to the west and Scorpius to the east. Beta Librae, also known as Zubeneschamali, is the brightest star in the constellation. Three star systems are known to have planets. Features Stars Overall, there are 83 stars within the constellation's borders brighter than or equal to apparent magnitude 6.5. The brightest stars in Libra form a quadrangle that distinguishes it for the unaided observer. Traditionally, Alpha and Beta Librae are considered to represent the scales' balance beam, while Gamma and Sigma are the weighing pans. Alpha Librae, called Zubenelgenubi, is a multiple star system divisible into two stars when seen through binoculars, The primary (Alpha2 Librae) is a blue-white star of magnitude 2.7 and the secondary (Alpha1 L ...

Tropical Storm Tembin (2000)
The 2000 Pacific typhoon season marked the first year using names contributed by the World Meteorological Organization. It was a rather below-average season, producing a total of 23 tropical storms, 13 typhoons and 4 intense typhoons. The season ran throughout 2000, though typically most tropical cyclones develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Damrey, developed on May 7, while the season's last named storm, Soulik, dissipated on January 4 of the next year. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean to the north of the equator between 100°E and the 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones, which often results in a storm having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) will name a tropical cyclone should it be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least anywhere in the basin, whilst the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and As ...
