Typhoon Man-yi, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Pepito, was a strong and long-lived tropical cyclone that made landfall in the Philippines in early November 2024.
It developed on 8 and 9 November from an area of deep convection in the western Pacific and reached maximum strength on 16 November. It then weakened on its way to landfall, and was last observed in images on 19 November.
The following table gives rough estimates of the typhoon’s strength from 14 to 18 November.
