Typhoon Kajiki, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Isang and in Vietnam as Typhoon No. 5 of 2025, was a powerful tropical cyclone that impacted Northern Vietnam after skirting the southern portion of Hainan Island in late August 2025. The thirteenth named storm and fifth typhoon of the 2025 Pacific typhoon season, Kajiki originated from an area of low pressure east of the Philippines on August 22.
Kajiki made its first landfall over Casiguran, Aurora at 09:50 PHT (01:50 UTC) as a weak tropical depression. It slightly weakened as it crossed Quirino through Ifugao before emerging into the South China Sea on August 23. Kajiki intensified over the South China Sea, reaching one-minute sustained winds of up to 175 km/h (110 mph). Kajiki then skirted southern coast of Hainan, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to the island before making landfall between Nghệ An and Hà Tĩnh at around 18:00 ICT (11:00 UTC) on August 25. Moving westward through inland areas, the remnants of Kajiki later brought heavy rains and winds over Thailand and Myanmar before it eventually dissipated on the following day.
