Severe Tropical Storm Talim, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Dodong, was a compact tropical cyclone that affected the Philippines, China, and Vietnam. The fourth named storm of the 2023 Pacific typhoon season, Talim originated from a weak monsoon depression east of Manila while moving towards Luzon. The system continued to track westward close to the northern edge of mainland Luzon before emerging off the coast of Ilocos Norte. A favorable environment allowed the fledgling tropical storm to rapidly intensify to a high-end Category 1-equivalent typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The storm maintained this intensity until shortly before landfall near Zhanjiang, Guangdong on July 17. Talim quickly weakened and dissipated early on July 18.
Talim brought heavy monsoonal rains over the Philippines and brought heavy rainfall and gusty conditions over the country as it neared Luzon. Rainfall from the storm helped raise the water level significantly in Angat Dam, the main water source for areas in Metro Manila but only slightly in more northern Magat Dam in Isabela. In China, authorities in Guangdong Province ordered the evacuation of at least 1,000 residents in Yunfu. In Vietnam, authorities announced on July 17, that the countries were preparing to evacuate approximately 30,000 individuals from high-risk locations in Quang Ninh, Thái Bình, and Haiphong. Overall, the storm was responsible for three deaths, nine injuries and US$364 million in damage across several countries.
