Typhoon Tembin (2012)

Known in the Philippines as Igme, Tembin followed an erratic track that brought it to Taiwan twice. It made landfall over the southern tip of the island late on 23 August, weakened, then regained strength in the South China Sea and looped back to come ashore on southern Taiwan again as a tropical storm on 27 August. It did not restrengthen in the East China Sea and made landfall over South Korea on 30 August before becoming extratropical.
