At least six people were killed in Vietnam.

Meteorological history

On July 26, a low pressure area was observed 600 km (375 mi) east of General Santos City and was embedded along the intertropical convergence zone that brought heavy rains to Mindanao.[4] During the next three days, the low pressure area crossed the Philippines and arrived on the West Philippine Sea on July 30, located west of Batangas.[5]

After favorable conditions, both PAGASA and JMA upgraded the system into a tropical depression and was named Jolina. On July 31, the JMA upgraded the system into a tropical storm and was given the international name Jebi.[6] On August 1, Jebi continued to intensify, and reached severe tropical storm on August 2.

On August 3, Jebi weakened into tropical storm, and the JMA and JTWC downgraded Jebi into tropical depression and made landfall over Northern Vietnam, before it dissipated later that day.

Impact

In Cotabato City, incessant rains caused by the low-pressure area in Mindanao submerged 25 of its 37 villages. The floods forced the city government to suspend classes for elementary both public and private schools. Heavy rains also flooded areas around the Liguasan marshland, including 14 low-lying towns in Maguindanao and seven towns in North Cotabato.[7]
