The name Noru has been used to name four tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by South Korea and means a roe deer.
- Tropical Storm Noru (2004) (T0429, 32W) – remained out to sea.
- Tropical Storm Noru (2011) (T1113, 16W) – churned out of the ocean and merged with the extratropical remnants of Talas.
- Typhoon Noru (2017) (T1705, 07W) – impacted Japan and is tied as the second longest-lasting northwest Pacific tropical cyclone on record.
- Typhoon Noru (2022) (T2216, 18W, Karding) – a rapidly intensifying Category 5-equivalent typhoon that caused destructive impacts in the Philippines and Vietnam.
The name Noru was retired after the 2022 season and will never be used again as a typhoon name. In 2024, the name was replaced by Hodu, which means walnut in Korean.[1][2]
