List of storms named Tisoy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Tisoy has been used for two tropical cyclones in the Philippines by PAGASA in the Western Pacific Ocean. Tisoy is a Filipino colloquialism for "Filipino Mestizos".

  • Typhoon Ketsana (2003) (T0317, 20W, Tisoy) – Category 4 storm that never affected land.
  • Typhoon Kammuri (2019) (T1928, 29W, Tisoy) – made landfall in the Bicol Region of the Philippines at peak intensity as a category 4-equivalent typhoon.

The name was retired by PAGASA following the 2019 typhoon season and replaced with Tamaraw, a small hoofed mammal belonging to the family Bovidae.[1]
