List of storms named Yutu
The name Yutu has been used to name four tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was submitted by China and literally means "Jade rabbit".
- Severe Tropical Storm Yutu (Huaning) (2001) (T0107, 10W, Huaning) – impacted China.
- Typhoon Yutu (2007) (T0702, 02W, Amang)
- Tropical Storm Yutu (2013) (T1316) – Recognized as a tropical storm only by the JMA; the JTWC instead classified it as a subtropical depression.
- Typhoon Yutu (2018) (T1826, 31W, Rosita) - A category 5 super typhoon which devastated the Mariana Islands and the Philippines in October 2018.
Due to its destruction in the Mariana Islands, the name Yutu was requested by the United States to be retired.[1] A replacement name is to be chosen in 2021.
