noting a "promising" environment for further development. On the next day, the JMA upgraded the system into a tropical storm and gave it the international name, Rai. The PAGASA issued its first tropical cyclone advisory for the developing storm on December 12. Warnings for Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia were issued by the Guam National Weather Service by December 13. On the next day, Rai continued intensifying, and the Japan Meteorological Agency upgraded it to a severe tropical storm. Rai then entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility on December 14 and was given the name Odette by the PAGASA. The PAGASA raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #1 over parts of Eastern Visayas and Northern Mindanao. Later that same day, the JMA upgraded Rai to a typhoon. The PAGASA and the JTWC later followed suit and also upgraded Rai to a typhoon. Rai then rapidly intensified overnight, becoming a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon on the morning of December 16. Rai then made its first landfall on General Luna, Surigao del Norte at 1:30PM PHT. A few minutes later, it struck Cagdianao, Dinagat Island. It then made a third landfall in Liloan, Southern Leyte. It continued to cross the islands and later struck Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte and President Carlos P. Garcia, Bohol. It then soon struck Bien Unido, Bohol. It lost super typhoon intensity and then struck Carcar, Cebu. It made an eighth landfall on La Libertad, Negros Oriental. It made a final landfall in Roxas, Palawan. The system then left the PAR by 12:40 PHT (04:40 UTC). For the first time since Typhoon Rammasun in 2014 and the third after Pamela of 1954 and the aforementioned storm, Rai unexpectedly attained Category 5-equivalent super typhoon status in the South China Sea, due to the favorable environment in that region, at 21:00 UTC on December 18, as it underwent a secondary period of rapid intensification. By 03:00 UTC the next day, Rai again weakened below Category 5-equivalent super typhoon intensity, while turning in a west-northwesterly direction. Its eye was cloud-filled by this time, with the storm rapidly weakening afterward. As of January 6, 2022, 410 fatalities have been reported, with 111 alone being located in Bohol. On March 23, 2022, PAGASA revised their tropical cyclone scale. Rai (Odette) was considered as a super typhoon.
