Typhoon Nesat, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Neneng, was a moderately strong tropical cyclone in the Pacific Ocean. The twentieth named storm and tenth typhoon of the 2022 Pacific typhoon season, Nesat originated from an area of disturbed weather east of the Philippines on October 8. Five days later, it entered the PAGASA's Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and was named Neneng by the weather bureau.[1] The tropical depression then gradually began its intensification in the Philippine Sea and was given the international name of Nesat by the Japan Meteorological Agency after reaching tropical storm status. On October 16, at 3:50AM Philippine Standard Time, PAGASA noted that Nesat made its first landfall in Calayan Island, Cagayan province as a severe tropical storm;[2] the same agency then said that Nesat underwent "extreme" rapid intensification.[3] after its landfall, eventually becoming a typhoon while in the Luzon Strait as it was making its exit from the PAR. After Nesat's exit on October 17, PAGASA discontinued issuing advisories on the system.[4]

Typhoon Nesat originated from an area of interest east of the Philippines on October 8. Later that day, it was shortly upgraded to an invest by the United States Naval Research Laboratory, gaining the designation 97W. Three days later, it strengthened in the Philippine Sea and was later classified as a tropical depression by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and PAGASA, the latter assigning the name Neneng to the newly-formed disturbance. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) then followed suit, with 97W becoming Tropical Depression 23W in the process. It then intensified to a tropical storm on October 15, just north of Luzon, and was given the name Nesat by JMA; it further strengthened to a severe tropical storm on the same day. Before exiting the Philippine Area of Responsibility on October 16, PAGASA and JTWC noted that Nesat has intensified to a typhoon, and on the following day, JMA upgraded it to typhoon status. After passing south Hainan Island, Nesat approached the coast of Vietnam. On 20 October at 0:00 UTC its center was located about 160 km east of Dong Hoi City, with maximum sustained winds of 102 km/h.[5] Nesat reached the coast of central Vietnam on the evening of 20 October, as a tropical depression. The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting (NCHMF) reported that Nesat gradually lost strength and it had weakened from a tropical depression to a low-pressure area.[6]
