Typhoon Chan-hom (2015)

The ninth named storm of the 2015 Pacific typhoon season developed on 29 June from a westerly wind burst that also spawned Tropical Cyclone Raquel in the southern hemisphere. It reached typhoon strength on 7 July and two days later passed between the Japanese islands of Okinawa and Miyako-jima. On 11 July it came ashore in Zhejiang as the strongest typhoon to make landfall in that Chinese province in the month of July.
