it continued westward. Lynn passed just north of Luzon on the 23rd, and upper-level winds weakened it to a tropical depression before it hit southern China on the 28th. Lynn's tight pressure gradient, in combination with a large high pressure area over China, caused heavy winds over Taiwan, resulting in the formation of torrential rains of up to in Taipei. 7 people were killed in the Philippines 42 people perished from the extreme flooding, the worst in Taiwan in 40 years. Tropical Storm Maury (Rosing) Tropical Storm Maury first formed from an area of disturbed weather early on November 7. At the time, the disturbance had a well-defined surface circulation and persistent deep convection, but little development was expected due to strong wind shear aloft. The storm failed to develop further initially, but on November 10, the storm's convective cloud structure improved, and on November 11, the JTWC upgraded the system into a tropical depression. The depression quickly lost organization due to strong wind shear, and at 00:00 UTC on November 12, the JTWC issued its last warning on the system. Early on November 13, the JTWC reported that the depression had regenerated while the JMA upgraded the depression at around this time. Tracking westward, the depression decreased in organization as it approached the Philippines. The depression maintained its intensity over the Philippines and on November 15, entered the South China Sea. Following a significant increase in the storm's deep convection, the JTWC upgraded the depression into Tropical Storm Maury midday on November 16, with the JMA doing the same six hours later. On November 17, both agencies estimated that Maury reached its peak intensity of . The JMA downgraded Maury into a depression on November 18, and after moving onshore near Cam Ranh Bay at 04:00 UTC on November 19, Maury dissipated two hours later. Typhoon Nina (Sisang) Tropical Storm Nina, which began its life on November 16 in the eastern portion of the Western Pacific Ocean, slowly strengthened to a typhoon on the 21st. It continued to strengthen as it passed through the Caroline Islands, and reached super typhoon strength on the 25th just east of the Philippines. Nina continued to intensify, and reached a peak of winds just before hitting the central Philippines on the evening of the 25th. Nina exited the archipelago the next day as a typhoon. Nina briefly re-strengthened to a typhoon before turning
