List of storms named Longwang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Longwang (Chinese: 龙王, [lʊŋ˧˥ wɑŋ˧˥]) was used for two tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was submitted by China and literally means "Dragon King".

  • Tropical Storm Longwang (2000) (T0002, 02W, Biring) – developed over the northern Philippines and moved northeastward over the open ocean.
  • Typhoon Longwang (2005) (T0519, 19W, Maring) – a deadly Category 4 typhoon that made landfall on Taiwan and then in Fujian Province, China.

The name "Longwang" was retired after the 2005 season, and replaced with "Haikui".
