Severe Tropical Storm Ma-on, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Florita, was a destructive tropical cyclone that impacted the Philippines in late August 2022. The ninth named storm of the 2022 Pacific typhoon season, Ma-on originated as a disturbance over the Pacific Ocean on August 18, and was upgraded to a tropical depression the next day. The depression strengthened into a tropical storm named Ma-on, and became a severe tropical storm late on August 23 before making landfall in the Philippines. It later made landfall in China and Vietnam on August 25. Ma-on weakened back to a tropical depression before dissipating the next day due to unfavorable conditions.
The storm caused moderate damage in the Philippines, China and Vietnam.
