Tropical Storm Nangka, also known in the Philippines as Tropical Depression Nika, was a weak tropical cyclone which would be the wettest tropical cyclone in the Western Pacific on record, producing 127.8 in (3,245 mm) of rainfall in Hướng Hóa, Vietnam.[1] Nangka would impact Hainan and parts of Indochina, which had been affected by Tropical Storm Linfa just days earlier. Nangka in total caused 4 deaths and 5 missing in China and Vietnam.
