Two tropical cyclones occurred over the western North Pacific and South China Sea in November 2012.
A tropical depression formed over the southern part of the South China Sea about 450 km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City on 14 November and moved west-northwestwards. The estimated maximum sustained wind near its centre was 55 km/h. The tropical depression turned to move northwestwards on 15 November and dissipated over the seas just off the coast of southern Vietnam that evening.
Bopha formed as a tropical depression over the western North Pacific about 1 740 km southeast of Guam on 26 November and moved generally westwards. It intensified into a tropical storm on the following day. On 30 November, Bopha intensified further into a severe tropical storm about 1 110 km south of Guam and moved west to west-northwestwards across the western North Pacific.
