| - Tropical Storm Vamei (international designation: 0126, JTWC designation: 32W, sometimes called Typhoon Vamei; formerly had the alternate name Tropical Storm 05B) was a Pacific tropical cyclone that formed closer to the equator than any other tropical cyclone worldwide. The last storm of the 2001 Pacific typhoon season, Vamei developed on December 26 at 1.4° N in the South China Sea. It strengthened quickly and made landfall along extreme southeastern Malaysia. Vamei rapidly dissipated over Sumatra on December 28, and the remnants eventually re-organized in the North Indian Ocean.
Though officially designated as a tropical storm, the intensity of Vamei is disputed; some agencies classify it as a typhoon, based on sustained winds of 140 km/h (85 mph) and the appearance of an eye. The storm brought flooding and landslides to eastern Malaysia, causing $3.6 million in damage (2001 USD, $4.2 million 2007 USD) and five deaths. The typhoon is named after a songbird with white feathers; contributed by Macau, By December 25, an area of scattered convection persisted about 370 km (230 mi) east of Singapore within an area of low wind shear, in association with the low-level circulation. Continuing slowly westward, the convection deepened and organized further, and at 1200 UTC on December 26 the disturbance developed into a tropical depression about 230 km (145 mi) east of Singapore, or 156 km (97 mi) north of the equator. This was the first recorded occurrence of a tropical cyclone near the equator. Initially, the Malaysian Meteorological Department classified the cyclone as a tropical storm, though it was later re-assessed as a typhoon at landfall.
Tropical Storm Vamei weakened quickly as it crossed the extreme southern portion of the Malay Peninsula, and late on December 27 the JMA downgraded it to tropical depression status before the cyclone emerged into the Straits of Malacca.
Offshore of Malaysia, two U.S. Navy ships in Vamei's eyewall were damaged by strong winds. Vamei brought strong winds and heavy rainfall to portions of Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, and Selangor as well as to Johor, where rainfall reached over 200 mm (8 in) in Senai. Additionally, monsoonal moisture, influenced by the storm, produced moderate to heavy precipitation across various regions of peninsular Malaysia. Along Gunung Pulai, the rainfall caused a landslide which destroyed four houses and killed five people. River flooding was also reported, as a result of the precipitation from Vamei as well as previous rainfall. Damage from the flooding was estimated at RM13.7 million (2001 MYR, $3.6 million 2001 USD). About 40 percent of the damage occurred to crops at a farm in Kota Tinggi. Moderate damage to transportation, education, and health-care facilities was also reported. (en)
- Le typhon Vamei fut la 28tempête tropicale et le 20typhon de la saison cyclonique 2001 du Pacifique. Il se développait à 1,5°N, ce qui en faisait la tempête tropicale la plus proche de l'équateur. Ce typhon a été nommé d'après le nom d'un oiseau chanteur à huppe blanche (Garrulax leucolophus) très populaire à Macao.

- A tempestade tropical Vamei (designação internacional:0126, designação do JTWC: 32W, às vezes chamada de tufão Vamei) foi o quadragésimo e o último ciclone tropical da temporada de tufões no Pacífico de 2001 e o sexto e último ciclone tropical da temporada de ciclones no Oceano Índico norte de 2001. Vamei formou-se a apenas a 1,5° Norte, tornando-se o ciclone tropical que se formou mais próximo da linha do Equador já registrado, quebrando o recorde do tufão Sarah em 1956. Além do mais, Vamei tornou-se o único ciclone tropical a atingir Singapura em toda a história. Vamei atingiu a Península da Malásia e a ilha de Sumatra, Indonésia, antes de emergir no Oceano Índico norte. Vamei dissipou-se sobre o Oceano Índico já no ano seguinte. O nome Vamei foi dado por Macau e refere-se a uma espécie de pássaro, mais especificamente o Passeri, popular entre passarinheiros da região. Devido a sua incomum formação próximo `linha do Equador, o nome Vamei foi retirado definitivamente de qualquer lista de nomes de tufões. (pt)
