Tropical Storm Conson

Severe Tropical Storm Conson, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Jolina, was a strong tropical cyclone that impacted the central Philippines and Vietnam during early September 2021. The thirteenth named storm of the annual typhoon season, Conson originated from a low-pressure area approximately 500 km (310 mi) west of Guam. It strengthened into a tropical depression on September 5, and as it formed within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) named the system Jolina. Over the next day, it intensified into a tropical storm and was named Conson by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). As the storm neared Samar Island, it intensified into a severe tropical storm, and later into a typhoon according to the PAGASA prior to its first landfall in Eastern Samar. The storm retained its strength as it crossed the Visayas, and later, Calabarzon before weakening over Manila Bay prior to its final landfall in Bataan. It subsequently emerged into the South China Sea, where it struggled to further reintensify. Conson was then downgraded to a tropical depression just offshore of Vietnam before moving ashore near Da Nang, rapidly weakening before dissipating on September 13.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) of the Philippines reported 23 fatalities, 32 injuries and two missing individuals. Agricultural and infrastructural damages in the country were estimated at ₱5.17 billion (US$88.3 million).
