Severe Tropical Storm Nalgae, known in the Philippines as
Severe Tropical Storm Paeng, is a currently active tropical cyclone which recently made several landfalls in the Philippines. The twenty-second named tropical storm of the 2022 Pacific typhoon season, Nalgae originated from an invest located east of the Philippines on October 26. The disturbance, initially designated as
93W, was eventually upgraded the following day to a tropical depression by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), gaining the designator
26W. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) however, had already considered the disturbance as a tropical depression a day prior to JTWC's; the Philippine meteorological service PAGASA also followed JMA's lead and gave it the name
Paeng, which is a Filipino nickname. That very day, it was upgraded again by the JMA to tropical storm status, thus receiving the name
Nalgae.
