Typhoon Chuck

Typhoon Chuck was a moderately strong typhoon which impacted the Philippines, China, and Vietnam during June and July 1992. The third tropical depression, storm, and second typhoon of the 1992 Pacific typhoon season, Chuck originated over the central Philippines as part of a broader tropical cyclone outbreak on 21 June. Initially tracking slowly along the monsoon trough, Chuck interacted with Typhoon Bobbie, slightly recurving as a result. Strengthening due to favorable conditions, on June 27, Chuck intensified into a typhoon. The typhoon made landfall on the southern tip of Hainan Dao the next day, weakening slightly as it crossed the Gulf of Tonkin and struck northern Vietnam on June 29. Rapidly weakening soon after, Chuck dissipated on 2 July.
