Severe Tropical Storm and Hurricane Nalgae, known in the Philippines and United States as Severe Tropical Storm and Hurricane Paeng, is a currently active tropical cyclone threatening the Philippines and United States of America. It is the twenty-second named storm of the 2022 Pacific typhoon season and 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, it originated from an invest formerly designated as 93W. The following day, the JTWC would upgrade it to a tropical depression; however, the previous day, it was upgraded to a tropical depression by the JMA and the PAGASA. That very day, it was upgraded again by the JMA to tropical storm status, making the system gain the name Nalgae.

On October 26, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center reported in its TCFA bulletin that a low pressure area near the Philippines was able to develop because of warm waters and low wind shear. The agency designated it as Invest 93W.[1] The JMA and the PAGASA; however, went further and already classified the disturbance as a tropical depression, with the latter assigning the name Paeng to the system.[2][3] The JTWC would only upgrade the system to a tropical depression a day later, at 00:00 UTC on October 27, and it was given the designation 26W.[4] At the same time, the JMA upgraded the cyclone to a tropical storm, and was named Nalgae.[5]The following day, PAGASA and the JTWC upgraded Nalgae to a severe tropical storm status on October 28.[6]

Preparations and impact

TCWS issued by Nalgae by the PAGASA

Philippines

Due to the threat to the Philippines that Nalgae posed, the PAGASA issued Signal 1 warnings for the Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas. The PAGASA would later upgrade warnings for the Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas to Signal 2 warnings. The PAGASA also added Signal 1 warnings for Caraga, Central Visayas, Mimaropa, and Calabrazon. Flights were cancelled in the Philippines.[7] The storm delayed the removal of the wreckage of Korean Air Flight 631 after it overran the runway at Mactan-Cebu International Airport.[8] As Nalgae was upgraded to a severe tropical storm, the PAGASA put up Signal 3 warnings.[6]

Mindanao-Visayas floods

In the island of Mindanao, 31 people died[notes 1] due to continuous flooding and landslides that were partially caused by Nalgae.[9][10] The floods occurred just as Nalgae had inched closer towards Samar province. Despite the floods and moderate rain, no Wind Signal was given to the Bangsamoro. Moderate rain is still expected to continue in the region until Nalgae moves further north in Luzon.[10] In the archepelagic region of Visayas, rain from Nalgae similarly caused floods in the region. The entire Western Visayas region was set up to the highest emergency response level due to increasing floods, which has already caused 4 casualties in the province of Aklan.[11][12] Central VIsayas also experienced light floods and multiple landslides, mostly around the province of Cebu.[13]
