List of storms named Noru

Not to be confused with List of storms named Nora.

The name Noru (Korean: 노루, [no̞ɾu]) has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by South Korea and means a roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) in Korean.[1]

  • Tropical Storm Noru (2004) (T0429, 32W) – remained out to sea.
  • Tropical Storm Noru (2011) (T1113, 16W) – churned out of the ocean and merged with the extratropical remnants of Talas.
  • Typhoon Noru (2017) (T1705, 07W) – a Category 4 super typhoon that impacted Japan and is tied as the second longest-lasting northwest Pacific tropical cyclone on record.
  • Typhoon Noru (2022) (T2216, 18W, Karding) – a rapidly intensifying Category 5-equivalent typhoon that caused destructive impacts in the Philippines and Vietnam.

The name Noru was retired following the 2022 Pacific typhoon season and was replaced with Hodu (Korean: 호두, [ɸʷo̞du]), which means walnut in Korean.[2]
