Typhoon Bebinca, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Ferdie, was a strong and moderately long-lived tropical cyclone that affected East China, Guam, Philippines and the Ryukyu Islands in mid-September 2024. Bebinca became the strongest typhoon to hit Shanghai since Typhoon Gloria in 1949 and the first typhoon to do so since Typhoon Muifa of 2022. The thirteenth named storm and sixth typhoon of the 2024 Pacific typhoon season, Bebinca formed from atmospheric convection 385 km (239 mi) east-northeast of Kosrae on September 5. Bebinca intensified into tropical storm on September 10 before turning west-northwest due to interaction with an upper vortex. By September 13, as it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration named it Ferdie, and it eventually moved across the Ryukyu Islands, where both the Joint Typhoon Warning Center and the JMA upgraded it to a minimal typhoon. On September 16, Bebinca made landfall over Lingang New City in Shanghai, China as a Category 1-equivalent typhoon. Inland, Bebinca quickly weakened into a tropical storm due to land interaction that same day while maintaining west-northwest movement. The JMA tracked the system until it was last noted on September 18. Although Bebinca did not make landfall in the Philippines, its associated trough and the southwest monsoon brought heavy rains to many regions, damaging or destroying nearly 97 homes and displacing over 36,626 people. The storm caused at least six fatalities, with two people missing and eleven injuries. Bebinca caused some damage in Guam, leading to storm warnings being issued. In Japan, thousands of homes lost power in Amami. In China, Bebinca caused two fatalities and one injury. Overall, Bebinca caused an estimated US$1.42 billion in damage in China and US$22 million in the Philippines.
