Tropical Storm Dujuan, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Auring, was a tropical storm which caused heavy rain in the Philippines and Palau, leading to minor damage. Dujuan was the second depression and first named storm of the 2021 Pacific typhoon season. Dujuan started as a tropical depression in the Philippine Sea which slowly tracked northwestward towards the Philippines. Its strength fluctuated from February 19 to 21 due to an unfavorable environment near the storm at the time. The system was declared a tropical storm prior to its landfall in Batag Island, Laoang, Northern Samar on February 22.
Dujuan caused no casualties in Palau. In the Philippines, however, the storm caused 1 death and left 4 missing. The storm also caused a fishing vessel to capsize, leaving 15 Filipino fisherman adrift for six days before being rescued. Floodwater inundated houses in Surigao del Sur, submerging Tandag City along with 3,168 hectares of cropland. Total damages in the Philippines amounted to at least $3.29 million (2021 USD).
