= Typhoon Nesat (2022) = 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. 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 its 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; the same agency, then said that Nesat underwent "extreme" rapid intensification. After its landfall, it eventually became 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. The PAGASA issued its last bulletins as it left the PAR.
