Severe Tropical Storm Fengshen, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Ramil, was a weak tropical cyclone which impacted Luzon in the Philippines and eventually affected Central Vietnam as a Tropical Depression after traversing the South China Sea in mid-October 2025. Fengshen, which was the twenty-fourth named storm of the 2025 Pacific typhoon season, was first monitored by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) on October 12 as a tropical depression before subsequently being downgraded to a low-pressure area three days later, prompting the JMA to cease advisories, although the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) continued to monitor it.
On October 16, the JMA reissued advisories as it moved into the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), where it was assigned the local name Ramil by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). Although the cyclone continued to intensify, the presence of dry air since limited its potential for further development. It made landfall four times in the Luzon area between October 17 and 19 before reemerging over the South China Sea, where it gradually weakened before dissipating off the coast of Vietnam on October 23.
Fengshen generated extensive flooding and landslides in both the Philippines and Vietnam that left at least 54 people dead and ten others missing.
