Late on October 10, 2017, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began to monitor an area of low pressure for potential tropical cyclogenesis. [1] At 0:00 UTC the following day, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) designated the system as a tropical depression. [2] However, the JTWC did not follow suit, instead issuing a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA), later that day. Although, the JTWC upgraded the disturbance into a tropical depression, giving it the identifier 24W, at 6:00 UTC on October 12. [1] PAGASA also began to monitor the tropical depression, around this time, naming it Odette. [3] The system began to drift towards the west-northwest, nearing the island of Luzon. [4] Just six hours later, the depression strengthened into a tropical storm, being provided the name Khanun by the JMA. [2] PAGASA upgraded the system into a tropical storm by 14:00 UTC. [5] Roughly three hours later, Khanun made landfall in Santa Ana, Cagayan in the Philippines. [6] As the storm made landfall, the JTWC upgraded it into a tropical storm. [1]
In advance of Khanun, Signal No. 1 and 2 warnings were issued for large swaths of Luzon and offshore island archipelagos by PAGASA. Signal No. 1 warnings were put in effect for the provinces of Abra, Isabela, Ifugao, and Ilocos Sur Kalinga, Mountain. Meanwhile, Signal No. 2 warnings were placed for Apayao, Batanes, Cagayan, and Ilocos Norte provinces. [5] PAGASA also advised that sea travel during the storm was dangerous. [7] In Cagayan Province, Governor Manuel Mamba cancelled classes for pre-kindergarten through secondary school. While asking people residing along or near mountain slopes and in low-lying areas to evacuate. [8] At total of 10 domestic flights were cancelled due to severe weather. [9]
Khanun brought heavy rainfall to the Philippines as a tropical storm. [10] Flash floods in Allacapan prompted a state of emergency. Roughly 9,680 hectares (23,920 acres) of crops were submerged in floodwaters in the town. Several bridges were covered by flooding across Cagayan Province. [11]
Ahead of the typhoon, orange alerts were posted for the provinces of Guangdong, Guanxi, Hainan, and Zhejiang. [12]
While still a tropical storm, Khanun prompted heavy rain advisories for northern and eastern Taiwan. Strong wind warnings were also put in place for the entire island. [13] This heavy rainfall produced flash flooding and mudslides which resulted in one fatality. [14]
