Typhoon Parma was assigned the name Pepeng by PAGASA when it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility days after [[Typhoon Ketsana]] wreaked havoc on the country. Parma spared the capital and instead lashed the northern part of Luzon island. Parma added to the damage caused by the earlier Typhoon Ketsana, affecting thousands of families on the north, especially on Pangasinan province where the San Roque Dam inadvertently released water to prevent its breach. However, in the first week of October, Parma interacted with the incoming Typhoon Melor on the Pacific (via a [[Fujiwhara interaction]]), rendering it stationary as it made landfall on Southern Taiwan. Days later, the greatly weakened Parma retreated back to Luzon making further landfalls on [[Ilocos Norte]] and [[Cagayan]]. The now severe tropical storm Parma then began to wane its strength as it crossed Luzon island for the second time. It then emerged on the South China Sea as a tropical depression. Parma became one of the deadliest typhoons to hit the Philippines in a decade. ==Meteorological history== {{storm path|Parma 2009 track.png}} During September 26, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) started to monitor an area of convection that was located about 445&nbsp;km (275&nbsp;mi), to the southeasABPW.PGTW|title=Significant Tropical Weather Advisory for the Western and Southern Pacific Oceans 2009-09-27 06z|date=2009-09-27|publisher=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]|accessdate=2009-10-01}}</ref> The system had an elongated low-level circulation center with convection developing around the center.<ref name="STWA 06z"/> Upper level analysis showed that the system was located in an area of low vertical wind shear and had a good poleward outflow into a tropical upper tropospheric trough.<ref name="STWA 06z"/> During the next day, convection started to consolidate before both the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the JTWC initiated advisories on the system, with the JTWC designating it as Tropical Depression 19W. After being classified, the depression remained weak and poorly organized, as it lay close to Tropical Storm 18W. During September 28, as the depression moved away from 18W, the JTWC reported that the depression had intensified into a tropical storm despite it remaining poorly organized, and acquired the name ''Parma''. Parma started to intensify to a typhoon as it moved closer to the Philippines. On October 1, Parma reached its peak intensity with winds of {{convert|250|km/h|mph}}. Afterwards, Parma started a weakening trend as it moved closer to the Philippines, and on October 3 made landfall northern luzon, Philippines.<ref name="NDCC">{{cite conference |url=http://www.ndrrmc.gov.ph/attachments/article/1543/Update_Final_Report_TS_Ondoy_and_Pepeng_24-27SEP2009and30SEP-20OCT2009.pdf |title= FINAL Report on Tropical Storm "ONDOY" {Ketsana} and Typhoon "PEPENG" {Parma}|author=Glenn J Rabonza |publisher= National Disaster Coordinating Council |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170119142613/http://www.ndrrmc.gov.ph/attachments/article/1543/Update_Final_Report_TS_Ondoy_and_Pepeng_24-27SEP2009and30SEP-20OCT2009.pdf |archive-date=2017-01-19 |location=[[Quezon City]], [[Philippines]] |format=PDF |access-date=2018-07-02 }}</ref><ref name=WHO>{{cite conference | author = Communicable Diseases Working Group on Emergencies | title = Tropical Storm Ketsana and Typhoon Parma, the Philippines | publisher = [[World Health Organization]] | year = 2009 | location = Geneva, Switzerland | url = http://www.who.int/diseasecontrol_emergencies/publications/philippines_20091009_en.pdf | format = PDF | access-date = 2018-07-02}}</ref> During its landfall in the [[Philippines]], Parma began to travel northwest towards China.

The committee selected the name ''In-fa'' to replace "Parma" on the Western Pacific basin name lists beginning in 2011. For the PAGASA, on 2012, the name chosen to replace "Pepeng" was ''Paolo'' for the [[Typhoon Wutip (2013)|2013 season]]. ==See also== * [[2009 Pacific typhoon season]] * [[Effects of the 2009 Pacific typhoon season in the Philippines]] * [[List of wettest tropical cyclones]] * [[Typhoons in the Philippines]] * [[Timeline of the 2009 Pacific typhoon season]] * [[Typhoon Ketsana|Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy, 2009)]], a typhoon that hit Central Luzon just one week before Parma * [[Typhoon Haiyan|Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda, 2013)]], deadliest tropical cyclone to strike the Philippines in the 21st Century * [[Typhoon Bopha|Typhoon Bopha (Pablo, 2012)]] * [[Tropical Storm Washi|Tropical Storm Washi (Sendong, 2011)]] * [[Typhoon Megi (2010)|Typhoon Megi (Juan, 2010)]] * [[Typhoon Durian|Typhoon Durian (Reming, 2006)]] * [[Typhoon Xangsane (2006)|Typhoon Xangsane (Milenyo, 2006)]] * [[Tropical Depression Winnie|Tropical Depression Winnie, 2004]] * [[Tropical Storm Thelma|Tropical Storm Thelma (Uring, 1991)]], second deadliest tropical cyclone to strike the Philippines * [[Typhoon Krosa (2013)|Typhoon Krosa (Vinta, 2013)]] * [[Typhoon Usagi (2013)|Typhoon Usagi (Odette, 2013)]] * [[Typhoon Son-Tinh (2012)]] ==References== {{Reflist|2}} ==External links== {{Commons category|Typhoon Parma (2009)}} {{Wikinewspar2|Philippines braces for next storm|Typhoon Parma threatens Taiwan|Typhoon Parma spares Philippines capital}} *RSMC Tokyo - Typhoon Center **[http://www.data.jma.go.jp/fcd/yoho/data/typhoon/T0917.pdf Best Track Data] of Typhoon Parma (0917) {{ja}} **[http://www.data.jma.go.jp/fcd/yoho/data/typhoon/T0917.png Best Track Data (Graphics)] of Typhoon Parma (0917) **[http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/jma-center/rsmc-hp-pub-eg/besttrack.html Best Track Data (Text)] *[http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/2009/2009s-bwp/bwp192009.txt JTWC Best Track Data] of Super Typhoon 19W (Parma) *[http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tcdat/tc09/WPAC/19W.PARMA/ 19W.PARMA] from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory {{Retired Pacific typhoon names}} {{Retired Philippine typhoon names}} {{2009 Pacific typhoon season buttons}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Parma (2009)}} [[Category:2009 Pacific typhoon season]] [[Category:2009 in Vietnam]] [[Category:Typhoons in China]] [[Category:Typhoons in Taiwan]] [[Category:Typhoons in Vietnam]] [[Category:2009 disasters in the Philippines|Pepeng]] [[Category:Typhoons in the Philippines|Pepeng]] [[Category:Typhoons]] [[Category:Retired Pacific typhoons]] [[Category:Retired Philippine typhoon names]] [[Category:2009 in China]] [[Category:2009 in Taiwan]]'
