List of typhoons named Molave
The name Molave (Tagalog: [moˈlavɛ], mo-LAH-veh) has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name is a Spanish corruption of mulawin, referring to the Vitex parviflora, a species of hard wood used in furniture.[1][2] The name Molave replaced Imbudo after it caused extensive damage both over the Philippines and China.
