Typhoon Tembin (international designation: 1214, JTWC designation: 15W, PAGASA name: Igme) was a strong tropical cyclone which unusually made landfall Taiwan twice. Tembin, which means Libra in Japanese, was the eighth typhoon and the fourteenth named storm of the 2012 Pacific typhoon season. After making landfall over the southern tip of Taiwan late on August 23, Tembin weakened but regained strength in the South China Sea, looping before making a second landfall on southern Taiwan as a tropical storm on August 27. However, the system did not restrengthen in the East China Sea, and made landfall over South Korea on August 30 before becoming extratropical.
