List of storms named Tisoy

The name Tisoy has been used for two tropical cyclones in the Philippine Area of Responsibility by PAGASA in the Western Pacific Ocean. The name is a Tagalog nickname for Filipino Mestizos.

  • Typhoon Ketsana (2003) (T0317, 20W, Tisoy) – Category 4 storm that never affected land.
  • Typhoon Kammuri (2019) (T1928, 29W, Tisoy) – made landfall in the Bicol Region of the Philippines at peak intensity as a category 4-equivalent typhoon.

The name Tisoy was retired following the 2019 Pacific typhoon season and was replaced with Tamaraw, which refers to the tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis) in Tagalog.[1]
