Typhoon Rammasun (disambiguation)
The name Rammasun has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Thailand, which means the 'god of thunder'.
- Typhoon Rammasun (2002) (T0205, 09W, Florita), first of four storms which brought flooding to the Philippines
- Typhoon Rammasun (2008) (T0802, 03W, Butchoy)
- Typhoon Rammasun (2014) (T1409, 09W, Glenda), a Category 5 super typhoon that impacted the Philippines and China during mid-July, which warranted retirement of the name
The name Rammasun was later retired during the 2015 annual session the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. In 2016, WMO chose the name Bualoi to replace Rammasun, and is possibly to be used within the 2020-21 seasons.
