Tropical Storm Choi-wan (2021)

Tropical Storm Choi-wan, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Dante, was a tropical storm which caused moderate flooding and damage in the Philippines and also affected Taiwan in late May and early June 2021. The third named storm of the 2021 Pacific typhoon season, Choi-wan originated from an area of low pressure, located south-southeast of Guam near a brewing system. Fueled by an environment favorable for tropical cyclogenesis, it developed into a tropical depression, two days later as it moved westward. At 00:00 UTC on May 31, the system strengthened to a tropical storm and was named Choi-wan by the JMA. Although the storm was still located in the conductive conditions off the Philippine Sea while moving northwestward, a tropical upper tropospheric trough to the northeast halted the system's intensification, with Choi-wan's convection displaced to the south of its circulation on satellite imagery.

Heavy rains caused floods across a majority of Mindanao and Visayas; 11 fatalities were reported and 2 people are missing. In the southwestern Philippines, 45,000 people were impacted while more than 12,000 sheltered at evacuation centers to ride out the cyclone. In Western Visayas, 895 people were also evacuated on June 2. Around 4,813 individuals were displaced in Agusan del Norte.
