Severe Tropical Storm Ewiniar (Ambo; dubbed as "The low that isnt a joke")[]

Two low pressure areas (the other one being the precursor to Maliksi) spawned southwest of Mindanao in April Fools Day in 19:00 PHT, only being monitored by PAGASA. Weather news anchors dubbed it as "The low that isnt a joke". In April 2, PAGASA named the low Ambo, monitoring it as a tropical depression. In April 3, it became a tropical depression, which made the JTWC & JMA to monitor it too. In 17:25 PHT, it became a tropical storm, with the JMA naming it Ewiniar. The next day in April 4, it made landfall in Visayas, making some rain in Luzon too, then it weakened back into a tropical depression. It kept its speed until it curved upward towards South Korea in April 5. It dissipated 2 days after.

It moved southeastward & became a tropical storm, being named Maliksi. it became a typhoon & started taking a sharp turn towards Mindanao. it also did Fujiwhara with Ewiniar, but none of them weakened.

Storm Names[]
Within the North-western Pacific Ocean, both the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assign names to tropical cyclones that develop in the Western Pacific, which can result in a tropical cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency's RSMC Tokyo — Typhoon Center assigns international names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee, should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h, (40 mph). While the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N-25°N even if the cyclone has had an international name assigned to it. The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired, by both PAGASA and the Typhoon Committee. Should the list of names for the Philippine region be exhausted then names will be taken from an auxiliary list of which the first ten are published each season. Unused names are marked in gray.
International names[]
During the season 23 named tropical cyclones developed in the Western Pacific and were named by the Japan Meteorological Agency, when it was determined that they had become tropical storms. These names were contributed to a list of a 140 names submitted by the fourteen members nations and territories of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. The names Krathon & Yinxing was used for the first time this year.
Ewiniar | Maliksi | Gaemi | Prapiroon | Maria | Son-tinh | Ampil | Wukong | Jongdari | Shanshan | Yagi | Leepi | Bebinca |
Rumbia | Soulik | Cimaron | Jebi | Krathon | Barijat | Trami | Kong-rey | Yinxing | Toraji | Man-yi | Usagi | Pabuk |
Retirement[]
In December of 2024, the Typhoon Committee announced that the names Shanshan, Maria, Yagi, Leepi, Kong-rey, & Toraji would be removed from the naming lists and they will never be used again for another typhoon name. In 2026, they were replaced by Hee-kart, Dennis, Tokeru, Xaiya, Vanna, & Seorabeo respectively.
New List[]
Because the names Hee-kart, Dennis, Tokeru, Xaiya, Vanna, & Seorabeo replaced Shanshan, Maria, Yagi, Leepi, Kong-rey, & Toraji, here's the new naming list.

During the season, PAGASA used its own naming scheme for the 22 tropical cyclones that either developed within or moved into their self-defined area of responsibility. The names were taken from a list of names, that had been last used during 2020 and are scheduled to be used again during 2028.
Retirement[]
After the season, PAGASA announced that the names Carina, Dindo, Gener, & Helen will be removed from its rotating naming lists due to the number of deaths and amount of damage they caused, and they will not be used again. On February 3, 2025, PAGASA also announced that they will be replaced with Crosby, Donald, Gwen, & Horace respectively. These new names will first appear at the 2028 Pacific typhoon season.
