One tropical cyclone, named Pakhar, occurred over the western North Pacific and South China Sea in April 2012.
After forming as a tropical depression over the southern part of the South China Sea on 28 March, Pakhar moved westwards and strengthened gradually. It became a severe tropical storm about 510 km east-southeast of Ho Chi Minh City on 30 March, reaching its peak intensity with an estimated sustained wind of 110 km/h near its centre. Pakhar turned to move northwestwards and made landfall over southern Vietnam on 1 April. It weakened into a tropical storm that evening and dissipated inland over Cambodia on 2 April.
